Hi all! So it's not a WiP anymore, aside from blocking the thing - but here's my blob of Bugga lace ready to be blocked: I should have a nicely blocked shawl to show you on Friday! I can't wait to block the squishy thing and see it in all it's glory. And then permanently attach… Continue reading WiP Wednesday

Relaxing
Camp Loopy shawl is going camping! I'm camping right now! Campfire is going, cicadas are buzzing, hubby is playing guitar and the boys are singing camp songs with him. Ahhhh, I love it. And I'm almost ready to start the edging on my shawl. Perhaps by the time we get home I'll have a finished… Continue reading Relaxing

WiP Wednesday
I almost let Wednesday pass by without posting for WiP Wednesday! My husband's been out of town again, and that always makes for super-busy days!! But, I've got a few minutes right now to show you how much I've gotten done on my shawl: I'm 24 rows into the second lace section. I figure I'm about 25%… Continue reading WiP Wednesday
Still ‘Camping’!
I've finished my Lolita vest - I stayed up way too late last night finishing it! But I wanted to have it done by today so I could cast on my Project #3 for Camp Loopy. I'll show you the vest once it's blocked and seamed - perhaps in the next few days. For my… Continue reading Still ‘Camping’!
WiP Wednesday
I'm about halfway done with the Lolita vest! I started this on Friday. It's going pretty fast! I have a new skirt that I think it'd be perfect with, and I have an event tomorrow night that I'd like to wear it to, but I doubt I'll get the vest done (and blocked) in time… Continue reading WiP Wednesday
Master Knitter Monday #15
I only have one swatch to show you today: This is swatch #9 - short rows with a kitchener seam. I used the Japanese method of short rows for this one (for swatch #8 I used my usual wrap and turn method). It's a bit more fiddly, but makes for a neater stockinette side when you're done, I… Continue reading Master Knitter Monday #15
