Â She was only 2 (we've had her about a year and a half) and she developed kidney failure for some reason.

Master Knitting Monday and Tour de Fleece progress
I'm participating (or trying to anyway!) in the Tour de Fleece this year. Â I'm on Team Nevermore through Three Ravens Yarn. Â I was able to finish plying up some pretty sunset colored yarn that had been sitting on my bobbins, and I started on some grey/green/rust/mauve merino/silk roving. But I've stalled due to an injured… Continue reading Master Knitting Monday and Tour de Fleece progress

I have three more swatches to show you today!! I'm on a roll, I tell you! Swatch #1 (tubular cast on and tubular bind off with stockinette in between) - I'm not sure I'm happy with the cast on (or the ribbing!) in this one, so I'm planning  on doing it over. Swatches 2-5 need… Continue reading Master Knitter Monday

I have a few things to show you today! 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. Â So I'm making very good progress on my swatches! Next,… Continue reading FO Friday
