Holbrook pics
I tried to get photos of the completed Holbrook shawl yesterday, but they didn’t turn out very well. Today was a much better photography day. On my monitor, the shawl looks slightly more orange than it is in real life. … Continue reading
FO: Shauna 2
My sweater of never-ending cables is done, but it’s too hot to try for a modeled shot right now. So Brown Betty will have to show it off for you instead. But trust me, it fits well, and I love … Continue reading
FO: Relax
The giant pink tent is complete. [Oh, and look – the lilacs are in full bloom already!] And no, it isn’t really all that giant. It just felt that way while I was knitting it. But still, it’s big. I’m … Continue reading

Jagged Little Pill
While in Salzburg on a rainy day, my friend was wearing a hat that originally belonged to her mother. It wasn’t a knit hat, but I liked the general shape of it – sort of a pillbox, but with the … Continue reading
An actual finished object
After months of non-knitting, and having nothing to do but chat at my twice-weekly knitting group sessions, I finally figured that it probably wouldn’t do my elbow much harm if I knit for 5 minutes every half hour or so. … Continue reading
