Just some Cormo that I bought a way back when.
I’m crazy, I know. I finally washed it and rinsed it enough to get the worst of the lanolin and dirt out. No I didn’t wash it all of the way. I just wanted to rinse out most of the grease. I’m going to [...]

Or, at least, where I do most of my knitting anyway. Notice the wheel? How about the canvas basket on the stool? I have a bag of Angora fiber in there and several skeins of sock yarn. Not to mention the shelf o’ yarn in the background there. See all of the yarn? Oh, and [...]

I had a marvelous time with Will this weekend. I bought candles. Lots of candles. It made me very happy. Will didn’t even complain, he just followed me around carrying candles. In fact, he was so good, I took him out to dinner at Applebee’s.
Well, after I went to Threadbear and he followed me around [...]

Neckband? Sort of. A crochet edging topped off the neck quite nicely. And it fit Will. In fact, I have pictures of him modeling it for you.
If I could have changed something, I would have read the directions correctly so the shoulder didn’t pucker quite so bad. And I would have done the neckline [...]

This little sheepy is destined for a Christmas present, so I can’t say who it is for. Maybe it’s for you.
It’s the Patternworks kit for the “Baa Baa Black Sheep” knit using size 5 Clover DPNs.
Kind of cute don’t you think? The only thing is, I didn’t quite do the legs right and [...]

Yes, my friends, a sweater that actually fits. At least, it fits me with a shirt on, so it should fit Will. It still lacks a neckband and a good blocking, but it’s done.
Yarn: Araucania Nature Yarn 100% wool
Needles: Size 7 Bamboo Interchangeable circular needles
Pattern: Sort of the raglan pattern in Ann Budd’s [...]

I just couldn’t resist. I was doing so well too, working on the shoulders and neck for Will’s sweater, but I just had to cast on for one small project.
Mistake Rib Stitch (I think) Scarf
My own handspun Isle de France/Dorset Cross wool in brick red, golden ochre, and burnt orange (it is much more [...]
