So I finished the Maia shoulderette and cast on a test knit for Julia, whose designs you have seen tested by me several times during past seasons. Here is her newest design, Royals which should be up by January. I have a bit of trouble adjusting to a fine laceweight yarn (1300 meters on 100g) [...]

I finished my beaded fame handwarmers. I am equally happy about the fact that the bead struggle is over and that the yarn was sufficient. Then I made a quick gift for a co-worker, who was sorry she had forgotten to ask for these during the fall and thought she was out too late: And yesterday [...]

I had trouble deciding on what to do next so I decided to be a good girl and dig a hibernating shawl out for finishing. The pattern is “juneberry triangle” by Jared Flood from St denis Magazine which I had to order from the States as it was not available as a pdf. I have [...]

I finished my Anjou inspired fingerless mitts just minutes ago and think they turned out ok. At first my idea was to make a lacy part up on the fingers too,but then I thought it would take too much attention off the pear cuffs so garter it is. Now what should I do next…
