This is the Heidi sweater, by Katya Frankel. I’m making it in Quince and Co Whimbrel, in what I think is the Bowsprit colorway. I got this yarn in a seconds sales, and I found out why while winding it. Skein number one had a cut in it, and skein number two was so tangled […]

Got rid of a couple more sock yarns – this is the last of the Sundara Sock Water Studies and the Quince Finch in Bird’s Egg. (I really needed to be able to put a downward trend into my yarn tracking. I’ll be able to do some much bigger deductions once I push through a

Pattern: Cellarium by Rachel IllsleyYarn: Swans Island Ikat Collection Watercolors in the Indigo/Teal colorwayNeedles: Size 2 circs and 3 circs and DPNs The cables in this pattern kicked my butt at first, for no really good reason.    Once I was able to visualize what they were supposed to do, I was fine, but I

Since I’m on a bit of a hat kick, I’ve started Unwind Knitwear’s Cellarium, using Swans Island Ikat Watercolors collection in the Indigo/Teal colorway. I’d initially pulled out the yarn to use for the charity knitting I’ve been doing, but those hats need to be mostly blue, and I think this yarn isn’t quite blue

Pattern: Swirl Hat by Mandie HarringtonYarn: Quince and Co Finch in the Bird’s Egg colorwayNeedles: Size 4 circs and DPNs These are my first Swirl hats in the Child (next to largest) size – I’ve done a ton of these as stash busters in the newborn size.    It’s a great pattern – super easy.

Pattern: Slable by Wooly Wormhead Yarn: Quince and Co Finch in the Bird’s Egg colorway Needles: Size 3 DPNs and Size 4 DPNs and circs This current reattempt of Slable went much better than about a month ago, because I didn’t skip the set up row.   I don’t know how I managed to do that

Here’s a cable baby hat to use up some more of the Sundara Sock Water Studies yarn. (Saving the very last for a hexipuff extravaganza when I get through my forthcoming hat knitting frenzy.) Trying the Slable hat again, this time with Quince and Co. Chickadee in the Belize colorway. I’ll be more careful this

This is the Argus sweater, by Leila Raven, using Quince and Co Lark in the Iceland colorway. So, I’ve had Covid. Which is why, despite having cast this on at the end of April, I’m just posting about it now. (Case was fairly mild, I just had very little extra energy for things like blogging.)

Pattern: Northlights by Clare Hutchison Yarn: Sundara Sock in the Water Studies #35 colorway Needles: Size 4 circs and DPNs I managed to get a 21″ and 19″ hat out of this skein of sock yarn, and I should have enough left for a baby hat for the stash.    Good pattern – easy, but

Found an opportunity to do some charity knitting – blue hats for an anti-bullying program. I have plenty of blue yarn. This is the Northlights hat by Clare Hutchinson – I should be able to pull off two from a skein of Sundara Sock yarn. (The colorway is Water Studies #49.)
