I seem to have created quite a queue of finishing projects for myself. I've knitted all the pieces of my ruffled cardigan and finished the Lintella as well. I need to block and assemble the cardigan (now that I found the sleeves that I'd managed to misplace for three days), block the Lintella, and I … Continue reading Travel knitting
Summer?
Wow, this summer flew by - a sentiment I've heard by many people this summer. We've had a wonderul one - filled with softball, sand and swimming. And a bit of knitting, but not as much as I'd hoped. I've been focusing on two projects this summer. My Lintilla, and a baby sweater that I … Continue reading Summer?

I'm not sure I'd have the will to continue after pushing through this body. Here's a close up … Continue reading Wednesday WIP: Slogging pays
Finally Colorwork!
So, the slog through the miles and miles of white stockinette (or 20 inches - which still felt like miles) is finally complete.
