The Vivid blanket is coming along, now that I have enough yarn. I’m far enough in that I’ve memorized the pattern. Our weather has been snowier than it has been in a number of years, and colder than it has been in a number of years. So I’ve also gotten a fair amount done with […]

This is the third time I’ve knit a Hermione Hearts Ron hat, so I won’t do a formal finished post. This is a continuation of using up the Targhee Tango sport. Slowly but surely! In other stash busting news, here’s the last of the End of the World sock yarn. I only had about foot-long

There’s been a development with the Vivid blanket. The yarn I made the original one in is no longer available, so I ended up going with Cascade yarn. The original was in fingering weight, but I liked the colors in the Superwash Sport better, so decided to go with that. Sport’s just the next size

I’m doing a little bit of cross stitch as a palette cleanser right now, because I went hard on stash busting this past year. So I’m safe to post my completed projects for 2025. I intend to continue the stash busting next year as well – I’ve got a fair amount of patterns queued up

It hasn’t gone far yet because I’ve been distracted by other things, but the baby blanket for impending niece #3 has begun. I’m doing Vivid again because I really liked how it came out for M. This time, I’m going Cascade 220 Superwash Sport. She’s coming in April, so I’ll be ramping up on this

Pattern: Musselburgh by Ysolda Teague Yarn: End of the World Farm Fingering Weight Yarn Needles: Size 3 circs and DPNs Take two of this hat is done! I still very much enjoyed watching the colors change while knitting this yarn. With the medium size, I do have a bit leftover, so I’ll be able to

I was able to get three more colors into the lighter weight 10 Stitch blanket. That’s actually put me at a net under for yarn for the year this point. Which I am going to obliterate with the order arriving today for some projects for the new year, as well as the sock yarn advent

Pattern: Two Colour Infant Hat by Paulina Chin Yarn: KDD & Co Ooskit in the Riach and Choffer colorways Needles: Size 4 and 5 circs and Size 5 DPNs A little more stash busting in under the wire for November. This was a great pattern – very clearly written, and nice and quick to knit.

Pattern: Nalu Mitts by Leila Raven Yarn: Bare Naked Wools Targhee Tango Sport in the Apilado colorway Needles: Size 4 DPNs This is a great pattern – really well written out. A fairly new knitter should be able to do this pattern, and it’s got some nice technique to it too. I still have so

Pattern: Sprung Rhythm by Kate Davies Yarn: KDD & Co Ooskit in the Riach colorway Needles: Size 8 circs This was a fun knit – interesting construction, and a nice pattern. It’s got a nice coziness to it – I’m looking forward to it being cold enough to wear, which will be soon enough. I
