Things have been stressful here the last week or so. Yesterday I had to say goodbye to my sweet little kitty, Gracie. She was only 2 (we've had her about a year and a half) and she developed kidney failure for some reason. She was in the hospital for 3 nights until Saturday, and we… Continue reading WiP Wednesday

Master Knitting Monday and Tour de Fleece progress
I'm participating (or trying to anyway!) in the Tour de Fleece this year. I'm on Team Nevermore through Three Ravens Yarn. 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
FO Friday
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. So I'm making very good progress on my swatches! Next,… Continue reading FO Friday
