Here’s the sky scarf, as of 5/31/15. You can see in this picture that I was finally able to introduce the dark gray I bought to represent thunder. I’ve used it four times so far. For one thunderstorm that happened in the middle of the night, I decided to […]
A few more hexipuffs to finish off the Tess’ Designer sock yarn. There are few more here than I usually like to make from one color, but it’s so much lighter than a lot of what I already have, that it seemed like the contrast would be a good thing.
Here’s as much of the sky scarf as I’ve completed in March – I know I won’t be doing any more blog posts before 3/31. It’s a little more blue this month, at least. In other projects, I’ve cast on Susan Lazenby’s Arianrhod shawl. This is for my sister, who’s getting
Pattern: Craic Socks by Hannah SixYarn: Tess’ Designer Yarn Super Socks and BabyNeedles: Size 3 DPNs I do love cables. They look so complicated, but are usually pretty simple. This was a cool pattern – very easy to memorize (well, sort of. I knew what was coming, but usually did

In stash busting news, I realized that this Schaeffer Heather yarn I’ve been sitting on for ages is fingering weight, so I added it to the hexipuff pile. (I’m really sad she retired – I did love that entire yarn line.) I also cast on some Netherfield Socks, a pattern I’ve been sitting on for
This is the sky scarf for the month of January. I have to admit, I’m really enjoying this project. I’m enjoying deciding on what color combination to use each day (I am slightly regretting not splitting the white ball – snow storms can be very not gray), and I really like being able to
