Cable Crossing Correction
In my last post, I told you about my plans for correcting a wrongly crossed cable in the sleeve of my sweater-in-progress. First I thought I’d try just unraveling the columns of stitches for the incorrect crossing, fix the crossing, … Continue reading
To Fix or Not to Fix?
Some of you may be wondering about the frequency of my posts this week. Yes, I’ve been posting more often than usual. To be honest, it’s because I’ve been bedridden for most of the week and attempting to break up … Continue reading
Bring on the Clouds
Happy Fall, everyone! I don’t know about you, but I’ve been ready for fall weather for weeks now. Cooler temperatures, crisp breezes, cloudy skies, and RAIN. Yep, we’re doing a jig every time it rains now. Bring on the clouds. … Continue reading
Drape-front Cardigan – Inspiration and Design
The design bug hit me again. Hard. And once again, the inspiration came from a piece that was already in my closet. It is a cardigan I already love, but wish was just a bit warmer. Why mess with a … Continue reading

Lestrange Cloak
Let me tell you the story of a medium-weight cardigan project that I’ve been working on for over a year. It came out of the in-progress basket occasionally so that I could knit furiously on it and make a ton … Continue reading
Revolving
My knitting/crochet mojo seems to have hit a particularly bad stretch of “sporadic activity.” And “hopping around.” And “never getting anything done.” There are no finished works, just a large pile of works in progress (WIP) that never seem to … Continue reading
The Long (Sleeved) Sprint to the End
Finally, the conclusion of the cabled sweater story! Get the first three installments here, here, and here. Why is it that knitting the sleeves seems to take absolutely forever? After all they’re just a fraction of the knitting, compared to … Continue reading
