Pattern: Honey Cowl by Antonia ShanklandYarn: Sundara sock yarn in the Winter Twilight ColorwayNeedles: Size 6 circs Last year’s goof off cowl went much slower than this one did, I think because it was just stockinette.    All I did was the four row pattern repeat most nights, and it seemed to eat through yarn.

I got all the way to the end of the Turbine hat, and had BF try it on before I actually finished it and cut any yarn, and it was way too small.     So that’s frogged, and awaiting a new plan. Coincidentally, he realized that while he doesn’t always love the stretchiness of the knit

Here’s my first project of the year, and it’s a year long project: the Sky Scarf, by Lea Redmond.    It’s really more of a method than a true pattern (it was originally a kit, but I’m doing my own).    Basically, I bought a whole bunch of Knitpicks Palette yarn in sky tones (blues, grays and

Here’s the final project wrap up for the year.    Not too shabby, and I paired down a fair amount of my stash. I’m not sure yet what next year brings.     I do like having something to do with my hands, but I don’t always have a reason to give away knitwear, so I’m thinking of

Pattern: Fisher Cable hat by Lindsey FeliceYarn: Malabrigo Rios in the Glazed Carrots colorwayNeedles: Size 7 circs and DPNs BF’s hat is done.   (It was actually finished on the 16th, before I headed to CA.)    This pattern is really easy, and a quick knit.    And I had so much yarn left over,

This is the Fisher Hat, by Lindsey Felice.    It’s for the BF.    He asked for something a little less stretchy than the last hat I made him, so this one has cables, and stockinette on the top.     We’ll see how it goes. The yarn is Malabrigo Rios in the Glazed Carrot colorway.    It really is

I’ve also been plugging away on hexipuffs from the grey Koigu yarn I just used to make mittens.     I finally managed to finish that off last night, as I was at loose ends from finishing L’s hat the night before, and I need to wind some more yarn before I start any other projects.
