This is the Forest Park Cowl, by Liz Abinante, using I Knit or Dye Killing Me Softly Aran in the Natural Light Brown colorway. It’s a good weight of yarn, and the type of pattern I know I can do. If I can’t manage to see this through to completion, I give up. […]
Whelp, the Blank Canvas Sweater is frogged. I got up to the neckline, pre-shaping, and I could tell I wouldn’t have enough yarn to do the full shaping. So I tried it on, to see if making it into a scoop neck would work. And the torso was a smidge too short
I am apparently not meant to be making a hat right now. I got about three rows into the actual pattern of the current (third) attempt, and realized I had twisted it when I joined it to knit in the round. I officially give up. I’ve added the three recent attempted patterns back

I gave up posting about Cold Sheep on Ravelry ages ago, since I wasn’t knitting much all summer, but I do still want to do a wrap up. I started the year with 13028.10 yards and 648 grams (for yarn I didn’t know the yardage for) at the beginning of the year. I ended with
