Hi all! I finally found some buttons for my sweater, so progress is being made! I found two different buttons, and not having my sweater with me when I went shopping, I bought both.

WiP Wednesday
Hi all! I just finished up my fingerless mitts that will be in the next Cast On (sorry, can't show them to you yet) - so now I can pull back out my sweater and finish it up! It's not any farther along than it was the last time I talked about it, so no… Continue reading WiP Wednesday
WiP Friday?
Hi all! I meant to post a WiP post on Wednesday and forgot to, so you're getting WiP Wednesday on Friday instead! 🙂 This week has been crazy! Last week I (almost) had a concussion, this week I have a cracked molar and need a root canal and crown. Ugh. Anyhow, moving on to knitting… Continue reading WiP Friday?

Happy… Continue reading Quatrefoil Shawl

My Dr Who socks are done!  I'm pretty happy with them (I matched the start of the stripes up perfectly!)  The heel could fit better, but they're good enough. 🙂 And I'm working on my cardigan still. Both sleeves are done and I've started on the body!… Continue reading FO Friday

New Pattern, DC trip and sickness
Hello all! So sorry for my long absence - I was pretty sick all of last week, so I was unable to post an update. Now I'm feeling much better, so I can get that update to you!
