FO Friday: Green Cable Hat
I have a serious crush on cables–the more complicated the better–and Hat No. 5 by Kara McKinley was a great warm-up. I’m using this hat for a beginning cable class because it’s simple, yet interesting, and includes both cables with … Continue reading
FO Friday: Piper’s Journey
The majority of this shawl was completed in just over a week and obligation knitting is the most enjoyable knitting (*snerk*). Piper’s Journey by Paula Emons-Fuessle is a fantastic pattern; I just am a whiney jerk when it comes to obligation … Continue reading

July Check-In
I know it’s cliche, but I’ll say it anyway: “It’s July already! Where has my summer gone?” For some reason, even though I have two months left of summer break, I feel like one month has been wasted and I … Continue reading

FO Friday: All the Socks II
Next up are the Allergy-Inducing Socks, made out of Knit Picks Felici in the Foxglove colorway, and named such because I’m allergic to flowers, especially the fragrant ones. However, I’m desperate for color and the purples called to me. These … Continue reading

FO Friday: Hugo
I love knitting toys for kids. The projects are usually small, portable, and never dull. Sometimes they do get fiddly, but they are so cute that it’s usually worth it. Anyway, right now I’m smitten with Rebecca Danger patterns. First, … Continue reading

I’m technically on spring break, but spring seems to have lost its way. Anyway, I’m finishing things! First, we have the red socks. They finally got some love and I powered through to finish (weave in ends) them last night. … Continue reading
