And a lot of frogging too! Just not posting about it! Here are Pear Blossom Socks, Superwash Kraemer Base, (yarn came from here) dyed with coffee. Pattern. A bit tight though


Olympic Hat, one gifted to my cousin, another to my husband. Yarn Ella Rae. Pattern


Winnow in Wollmeise. Sadly only one completed so far. Pattern


A funky beret in Plymouth Yarn Trabajos Del Peru. Pattern


My kind of town cowl in a lovely teal Plymouth Yarn Baby Alpaca Grande. It may not look like much here but it was comfy and cozy during our very cold winter. Pattern.


Also 2 scarves in Classic Elite Firefly — one gifted and not photographed and the other I cannot find in Flickr. And manymanymany socks that I ended up ripping out. Many.


If anyone can remember how to grab the Ravelry button for projects can you remind me how? I seem to have forgotten. Thanks!

I’ve already told you my approach for doing lace. Well I finally finished my first lace piece, and it’s now blocking.

I purchased lace blocking wires from KnitPicks last month, and while simple in concept, I’ve never used anything like them before and I am not sure if I inserted them the best way.

The Kernel scarf has an edging of 3 knit stitches on each side. I used this edge to hold the wires. The scarf is longer than a single wire, so I had to use 2 on each side.

The ends have slight points, but I didn’t take pictures of them. I inserted a pin in each point to pull it down and exaggerate it.

Stay tuned tomorrow for the finished pictures!

No not really. It’s just her Maine Morning Mitts done a la Jared Flood’s Turn a Square hat. I wanted to knit a manly version of the mitts for a man who likes purple.

I am not exactly sure why I decided I would hold clementines while I took the picture of my hand (which is very difficult by the way). The plants are Selaginella mosses that were on sale at the grocery store last week. I love their lushness.

I used a tubular bind off for the finger area. I like how it turned out.
Yarn: Cascade 220 Purple Heather, unknown Noro silk garden (I did take extra time to ensure the stretches of color stripes matched)
Pattern: Maine Morning Mitts

Size: I cast on 42 stitches instead of 33, made them an inch longer
