Hi again! January was great, because I did some actual 'me' knitting for a change! I squeezed it in among my design submission call swatching and whatnot. And I finished a couple things, too! First up: I had these socks on the needles, and had completely forgotten about them until I went looking for my… Continue reading Look – I have actual knitting!

I finally finished the shawl I've been working on for forever. (Well, I finished it a while ago but only just now got around to a blog post about it. oops!)

My biggest and best FO, EVER

My resubmits should get back to me in the next few… Continue reading My biggest and best FO, EVER
Still waiting….
