A new sweater jumped onto my needles a while back. It’s being knit in fingering weight and has a gajillion stitches. So, the progress has been slow and not very picture worthy to date. This morning though, I decided I had enough of a sweater to really show off the amazing color that is the [...]

The Marlene Socks are finished. Digging these. I made these exactly as the pattern called for, using sport weight yarn. I know there are a lot of you out there that have made these in fingering weight. I don’t get it. How could it even be possible that they would go over a human sized [...]

I’ve caught the sweater bug again. I guess it was only a matter of time really. So, I cast on for Jane and hopefully this will sufficently scratch that sweater itch. There isn’t much to it yet. But, I like it. Yes, I do. And, I am still waiting to cast on with the Koigu [...]

I don’t have much in the way of knitting to show you today. I am working on the Entrelac Baby blanket (remember that?) which doesn’t really get much more interesting as it grows and I have hit a snag (again) in the SOTS II lace pattern – once again, I have tried to tink back [...]
Not Gauge

So, let’s face it, gauge is important. Right? Well, yeah. So, what I am going to tell you next is going to make you cringe. I never swatch. Nope, never. Therefore, I have no idea if I have gauge or not when making anything. No seriously. Ok, let me explain. Most of what I make [...]
