FO: Modified Cowl Neck Pullover

I just had to pop in to show off my most favoritest FO, a modified cowl neck pullover. I saw it hanging in my new favorite yarn store and had to knit it up IMMEDIATELY. But instead of knitting it out of Malabrigo Worsted, like the one hanging in the shop (which pills something awful), [...]

FO: Lace Ribbon Scarf

I have a knitting FO to show off! I finished the Lace Ribbon scarf last week! Things were touch-and-go there for a while with this scarf, because it was knitting up way too thick the first time around. I ended up frogging it once I was several inches in, and I was able [...]

Just Enough Ruffles: For Mom

I knit up another Just Enough Ruffles scarf a couple weeks ago just in time for Mother’s Day (phew!). I freaking love this pattern! It knits up super quick, is easy to memorize, and produces such dramatic results. Oh, and it calls for Mmmmmmalabrigo worsted. What’s not to love?!
 (And, I have to say, while it’s not really [...]

An update

I’ve been feeling a bit over-extended, and over-burdened, lately and I completely let my blog fall by the wayside. I pretty much took an internet hiatus there for a while, staying off Ravelry, Flickr, and Facebook. But now I’m back. And recommitted to blogging. Because it still has its place. And it’s mine. So, let’s [...]

Buttoned up

It always surprises me how different, and finished, an FO looks when you put buttons on it.

I spent over an hour at JoAnn yesterday looking for buttons before I realized the perfect ones were at home. (In my button stash. I officially have a button stash. When the hell did that happen??)

Finally!

As much as I love knitting rollbrim hats, I never knit one for me! I have a LOT of hair, so I can’t wear any hats that easily. Last week, though – I had an epiphany. I knit a hole into the hat so I could pull a ponytail through. Genius. (Before I start patting [...]

FO: Just Enough Ruffles

I broke one of my knitting resolutions last week and it felt sooooooooo good! I had told myself I was only going to KNIT FOR MYSELF this year, but after seeing Janet’s version of this scarf, I had to knit one too. It’s a little too “ruffly” for me, though, so this will be shipped off [...]

Slippers for my sweetie

I finally finished T’s slippers and got around to taking FO photos of them in daylight the other day. I actually finished them when he was in the middle of fighting off a pretty nasty cold last weekend, but then they took THREE DAYS to dry after felting (thanks, moist PacNW winters!).
I am suuuuper pleased with [...]

It’s a swap!

I participated in my first knitting swap this past fall (a cowl swap! woot!) with some girls I met through Flickr, and seeing as how I’ve gotten to know myself pretty well over the years, I am actually kinda surprised I participated. Because… me? Well, I like to over analyze and freak out about stuff. (This [...]

I knitted something ugly also

I didn’t want Misplacedpom to feel bad, so I went ahead and knitted something ugly also.

Actually, I had really high hopes for these mittens. I found the colorway after finishing up my Kolenya marathon in December, and I knew I had to knit just. one. more. pair. for me. I didn’t take a [...]
