Autumn Henslowe
I have gifted a few knit projects in the last several months, so I’ll try to play catch-up now. The first is a shawl for my mom, in golden autumn colors. She chose Beth Kling’s Henslowe as the pattern and … Continue reading
Out on a Limb
Now that I have a successful sweater project under my belt, I decided I felt confident enough to do it again. This time I’m using a sweater recipe as a sort of guide (I’m heavily modifying it, of course) and … Continue reading
Featherweight
Here in the Northwest, cardigans in every shape, color, and weight are the norm in every well-stocked wardrobe. In the winter they add a cozy warm layer, in the spring and fall they guard against the temperature swings, and in … Continue reading
Catching up on FO’s
I’m behind on showing you several finished objects (FO’s). I still blame the boxes. I finished the fairytale cape in plenty of time for my niece’s birthday. I even managed to find some white fun fur and a sparkly button … Continue reading

Other Work in Progress
Now, just because I started a few new projects does not necessarily mean that I have abandoned the other work in progress. I have never been accused of being a monogamous knitter/crocheter, after all. So here’s an update on the … Continue reading
Startitis
Almost as soon as finishitis was over, startitis set in. (You knew that was coming, right?) I went stash-diving and pulled out a second family-gifted skein of sock yarn. Which I then cast on for these socks. That’s a super … Continue reading
Finishitis
There’s a term in the knitting community for starting a bunch of projects all at once that may or may not get completed. It’s called startitis. And it’s a real problem for some people. You may know it as “oooh … Continue reading
