I was very surprised a couple weeks ago to receive an e-mail that I had won yarn in the Resurrection Lace Raffle for the Summer Season. Just before Christmas I received this little beauty, a skein of Twisted Fiber Art yarn, Muse base (wool-silk), Warlock colorway, generously donated by Cathy Cate of Hither and Yarn. [...]

I can’t believe it’s fall already, although I’m not sorry to see the autumnal temperatures and new inspiration for warm knits. Despite the summer heat, however, I managed to have one of the best three-month knitting periods I’ve had for a while, although I didn’t actually finish anything. I spent the summer alternating my time [...]

I keep seeing finished Rock Islands popping up here and thinking, “But I’m only on the edging!” Or I was, as the edging is now complete! I’m using this as an incentive to get finished with some of my other projects, otherwise it would be much further along. Much–I can’t wait to start on [...]

For the first time in a while, I have multiple lace projects that I’m working on concurrently. Three, to be exact. Yet despite the variety of projects on the needles, all at varied stages of development, nothing really looks any different than the last time I took pictures. Aeolian perhaps comes the closest, at least [...]

It’s taken me a week to get photos, but here finally is my start for Rock Island. I’m using Fibre-Isle Niji (aka Louet Mooi), colorway Amethyst, which is proving lovely to knit with. And I’m loving the pattern as well! I have no idea how many repeats I’ve knit so far, but I still have [...]

I’ll admit, it’s been a while since I participated in Seasons of Lace, and at first I wasn’t planning on participating this summer. I’ve barely been knitting the past 6-8 months or so, and lace even less. Or at least that was true until a couple weeks ago when I finally finished up a couple [...]

I looked at my knitting two nights ago and realized that I haven’t exactly done all that much knitting recently. Somehow, I’ve been distracted from it, but searching through my memory, I can’t recall that I’ve done much else of consequence in the interim. Seemingly, I’ve managed to lose time. Sigh. I did however, also [...]

What’s spring without a little bit of startitis? Inspired by the recent crocus in the backyard, the (sometimes) sunny and warmer (well, it’s getting there) weather, and an accidental discovery of the yarn hiding in my knitting bag, I cast on last night for Crocus Pocus. The yarn is Knitting Notions Classic Merino Bamboo, colorway [...]

Thanks to my Olympic knitting, I was also behind in starting on my latest KAL adventure. I have been reading Susan Pandorf’s blog for some time and purchased a number of patterns (although I’d only actually started one before the KAL), so when I saw she was doing a Lord of the Rings inspired KAL [...]

Let’s see, the Olympics have been over a good 10 days now, and I’ve yet to post my final progress…I think that really sums it up! This is actually a pretty good (by pretty good I mean shows the whole thing in its bumpy, compressed glory–not that it reveals the pattern or anything) picture of [...]
