Back to regularly scheduled knitting! A little while ago I started a pair of socks to have something to work on in the car. Now that Mom’s sweater is done, I have been focusing on getting them done. They are coming along pretty well! I’m not using a pattern, just my standard recipe – 2… Continue reading Sock it to Me Monday
The secret gift project I have been working on for the last two months was finished with a few days to spare, which was cutting it a little closer than I like. However, the recipient has received it, so now I can share it here. I made my Mom the autumn leaf version of the… Continue reading Secret Gift Project
Very best wishes to everyone for happy holiday(s) – whichever one(s) you celebrate!
Well. This has been quite a month. Lots of work-related work, and lots of school-related work. I have been attempting to catch up on blog reading, and hopefully will have everyone’s posts read! It is great seeing what everyone has been doing and creating! DH and I took a little break last Saturday and went… Continue reading Quite a Month

But in other news… Our town got a bookstore! Knuth Book Cellar opened last Friday, and we went in to… Continue reading That Just Flew By!
I finally finished my Ghost Knitter Cowl, and just in time for Halloween! My only modification to the pattern is I added beads to the bind off. I’m happy with how this turned out! The yarn is a silk/wool mix, so it is very cushy and drapy. I didn’t block this aggressively at all, because… Continue reading Happy Halloween!
Finally a knitting post here on my knitting blog! I have a bit of progress to report on my two current projects. Mostly Ghostly is going well – just a few rows more, then the ribbing and bindoff for the body. And of course, sleeves. Very happy with how it’s turning out so far! Hopefully… Continue reading Weekly WIPs
