I think I only lasted a grand total of 24 hours on the enjoying having only finished projects thing. Yesterday evening was cold and rainy/snowy, and my hands were itching for some more knitting. So I cast on a Traveling Woman shawl with the Claudia’s Hand Painted Silk yarn I bought last time I was […]
Pattern: Asherton Reversible ScarfYarn: Knit Pick’s Wool of the Andes Kettled Dyed, in the Auburn colorwayNeedles: size 8 I made this scarf for the Red Scarf Project. It’s a nice, unisex pattern.

Pattern: Sock Yarn Baby HatYarn: Three Irish Girls Adorn sock yarn in the Baltic Sea colorwayNeedles: Size 2 DPNs My first experiment in sock yarn end usage is done. It was a pretty easy knit, if a bit boring by the end of the main stockinette tube. It looks like I have enough left of
