Pattern: Monteagle Bag by Ann Hahn BuechnerYarn: Quince and Co Willet in the Regatta Colorway (and just a touch of Cascade Ultra Pima in Juniper)Needles: Size 11 Circ and one DPN So I’ve been trying to cut down on my plastic use where I can nip it in the bud from the get go.   […]

Pattern: Darryl with a “Y” by Pixie HarfordYarn: Malabrigo Sock in the Playa colorwayNeedles: Size 2.5 DPNs I like this pattern – it’s a nice simple knit, and gave me exactly what the BF had asked for – an additional layer for his hands when snow blowing. I really love how this yarn ended up

Pattern: Telja by Jennifer SteingassYarn: Quince Owl in the Barred, Buru, Cranberry, Papuan and Straits colorwaysNeedles: Size 5 and 6 circs and DPNs My Telja is done!   I’m a little sad – the yoke was fun.   But now I can wear it!

My Telja sweater is coming along quite nicely – both sleeves are done, and I’ve started on the body. Here’s all of January and just a little bit of February in the temperature scarves.   I’ve added one more color – Silver, for below 0.   (Had one line in January.)   You can see the last line

Here’s the state of the Wrap Me Up Puppy – puppy is done other than the eyes and nose (though I may have to anchor the ears down a bit), and the blanket is started. I also did cast on the Telja sweater (by Jennifer Steingrass) last weekend.    And got to the end of

Pattern:  Willowfall Cowl by Erin KurupYarn: Shibui Knits Staccato in the Velvet colorwayNeedles: Size 6 circs Here’s the final picture of the blocked Willowfall Cowl.    I liked this pattern – having the lace gradually come in against the plain opening was a little different, and enjoyable to work on.
