In class yesterday, I worked on a scarf with my new Lorna’s Laces Grace. I finished up the first ball, (I had only brought one) so I spent the rest of class working on socks. At home last night in the storm, we finished the second story of Cafe Corner: And today, I have a [...]

I was confused with the stitch pattern when started working on it again, but figured it out and knit a bit before going home (I finished my cashmere scarf earlier that day – I’ll post [...]

I was in my LYS on Wednesday and noticed Filatura di Crosa Aiko 50% off. I thought about it for a day, consulted my sister, Miyon, and Marisa, and rushed back on Thursday to pick up three balls. The project? A lengthwise garter stitch scarf along with this handspun that Anj spun up for me [...]

This is in stark contrast to last year, where I started in January. This year, my Christmas knitting list is really, really short. It’s just not worth getting myself all stressed about it. Anyway, I only have one knitted gift to mail, and that is to my mom (who requested the gift specifically, so I’m [...]

With the completion of the Hippy Crunchy socks, I was free to start new socks for Socktoberfest. I tried out the New England pattern from Knitting on the Road, but the yarn is just too busy, and 70 stitches is just too many stitches for me without going down to a US 0 or something [...]
