Firstly, I'm blocking three of my Master Knitter level 3 swatches today: I'm feeling under the weather, so most of yesterday and probably most of today will be spent on the couch - knitting of course. So I'm making very good progress on my swatches! Next,… Continue reading FO Friday

WiPs, a FO, and an Interview!
So, I've been killing time as best I can while waiting for my Master Knitter Level 2 binder to come back to me. The waiting is the hardest part, I think! What will I have to re-do? Is my vest up to snuff? Did my sock pass? ... and so on and so forth. BUT,… Continue reading WiPs, a FO, and an Interview!
Anxiously Awaiting
...my Master Knitter Level 2 submission results! It's been about 3 weeks now, so I have about 3 to 5 weeks wait left. I've been trying to keep my mind off of it as best as I can.

I promised to show you some spinning, and here it is! I participated in the Tour de Fleece this year (you challenge yourself in some way with spinning while the Tour de France is going on) and my only goal was to spin some every day - and I (mostly) met the goal. I took… Continue reading FO Friday
Still a bad blogger, evidently!
Wow, has it really been since May that I posted last?? I've still been reading, but I've slowly been picking up knitting steam. I'd better have lots of steam ready for Friday, because I'm going to be participating in the Ravellenic Games! I'm planning on doing a Venezia sweater, but with some modifications. I'm going… Continue reading Still a bad blogger, evidently!
