FO: Gathered Scarf
AKA: The Giant Tootsie Roll This was a good travel project – easy to just pick up and work on without needing a pattern, and small enough to be portable. Pattern: Gathered Scarf: Pattern page, Project Notes Yarn: Filatura di … Continue reading
Matched set
I finished the new Extra, out of the yummy cashmere yarn Kim overdyed for me. Since I had plenty of yarn, decided to make some matching headwear. There wasn’t really enough yarn for a hat, so instead I decided to … Continue reading
FO: Corrina
I finally finished the delightful Corrina. Took a while with those small needles, but it was definitely worth it. I’m very pleased with how it came out, and I’m sure this is a sweater I’ll really enjoy wearing. This is … Continue reading

Twofer Tuesday
First off, the newest project: It’s a big squishy garter-stitch triangle, that’s super simple. You start with 3 stitches, then at the beginning of every other row, you increase with a yarnover. This makes an asymmetrical triangle with eyelets running … Continue reading
Heart Like a Wheel
The big circular shawl of awesomeness is done. It’s 50″ across, and took about 1100 yards of Cookie‘s handspun, which is totally deserving of a closeup: It’s mostly pinkish-purple, but has bits of blue and even a tiny bit of … Continue reading
And for my next trick
Grafting 2×2 rib. And getting rid of more stash yarn. I had a couple of skeins of Bergère de France Cocoon hanging around in my stash – a bulky chainette yarn. Looking around for something to make with it, I … Continue reading
