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! The pattern is cool – three stranded colorwork was an interesting new challenge. 

Here are the two temperature scarves, as of the last day of winter.    The high scarf has more colors, though I have taken the yarn for the 0-9 and 10-19 ranges away – we’re hopefully past the point of needing those anymore.   I have not yet taken anything out of the low temp scarf

I’ve been very bad about keeping track of what’s been going on this month, mostly because it doesn’t seem like much – it’s all indoor stuff.   The weather is just now sort of starting to signal it might be warming up. So I cast on these mitts nearly a month ago.   The pattern is Darryl

Pattern: Wrap Me Up Puppy by Susan B.

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. This yarn is lovely.   

We’re getting the first real snowstorm of the season, so it seemed like a good time to take stock of my knitting.    The above is as far as I got with the Hermione Loves Ron Hat – turns out I did not have enough in that leftover yarn to make that.  So that was

The great new year yarn purge continues – here’s the last of the Shubui Knits Stacato, in hexipuff form. I’ve also cast on a Hermione Loves Ron with my leftover Madeline Tosh Vintage yarn.   It’s technically the wrong weight, but I’d done one of these before in the same weight yarn, and really liked the
