I’ve started the first piece in the new collection (with yarn arriving quickly for the other pieces). Just before the weekend* I started the colorwork. Right now it seems like two shades of black.

I’ve been plotting (and thoroughly over-thinking) my project bags for the swap. I hope that a bunch of you are participating. I’ve already received a couple of bags for the swap and I’m bubbling over with excitement! If you want to participate, but aren’t sure where to start, here’s a roundup of tutorials. Zippered Box […]

Stupid Sock Creature & Brother socks Fini!
Just a couple of FO’s to show you, only one of which is knitted. Her name is Genevieve. Her bottom half is one of those cheap gloves that you buy in grocery stores. I cut the fingers all off evenly, then folded the palm in half so that the thumb was in the center of […]
