I finally broke out my poor neglected wheel. It's been what seems like forever since I spun anything - she's all dusty, poor thing. I had started spinning this a while ago and then got distracted by knitting and stopped in the middle of it. So now I'm determined to finish it so I can… Continue reading WiP Wednesday

WiP Wednesday
Well, I've gotten quite a bit done in the last week, but it's been exclusively on a new design of mine that I can't show you. Sorry! But, I can tell you that I'm using Cascade 220Â Superwash for the first time (I know, shocking! How is it I've never worked with it before?) and I… Continue reading WiP Wednesday

Well, I don't have a finished sweater to show you after all. But I do have the back and part of the left side:  I've been mostly working on a couple designs that I have going right now, so I haven't worked on the sweater as much as I thought I would. Plus, the… Continue reading WiP Wednesday

Well, my sock design wasn't thrilling me, so I ripped it out and am starting anew with it. Such is life. I'm hoping a few new stitch pattern books (ordered today) will inspire me. We'll see. Moving on to what is on my needles today: We had a couple of really cold days there last… Continue reading WiP Wednesday

I have lots on the needles now - LOTS! I'm on a roll cranking out the MK swatches, but I'll save those to show you on Monday. I also have 3 half-pairs of socks that need mates soon (before the boys have another growth spurt!), but I've put those on hold for the time being -… Continue reading WiP Wednesday

I've got several things on the needles right now - a shawl, of course, but also a couple pairs of socks. I'm finally knitting up my chili pepper yarn (well, it's called 'Ring of Fire', but I think of it as chili peppers since the gift package came with chili pepper stitch markers and a… Continue reading WiP Wednesday

Now that I finished my Laminaria, I can get back to my Maple Wing. I'm on the final repeat of 'Chart C' (10 rows done of the 24 rows) and all that will remain will be the 28 row 'Chart D' and the neck edging. But.... I'm going to run out of yarn. Yep. I… Continue reading WiP Wednesday

I'm still working on the same two shawls! Not as much on the Maple Wing as the Laminaria - I really want to get that done so I don't have to be frantically knitting at the last minute. Here's what I have so far: I finished the first edging chart last night, and there's only… Continue reading WiP Wednesday

Well, the same shawl is on the needles, but another shawl has joined the WiP lineup in the last week: I pulled this Laminaria out of hibernation because I think it will look smashing with my semi-formal evening gown for my upcoming trip to Disney World. My husband's company awarded him their MVP award and they're sending… Continue reading WiP Wednesday

I have several things on the needles right now, but the one I've been working on the most is my Maple Wing shawl. I think I'm about halfway done with it now, maybe more like 2/3 done. It's hard to tell. I'm at least past the straight-no-decreases bottom section and into the top half where… Continue reading WiP Wednesday
