almost FO another almost FO not anywhere near being FO

Karen noted today at BobaKnit that I haven't posted much recently. It's not because I haven't been knitting, I have! Niels is out of school and Stefan didn't go anywhere, and is napping even less since our schedule has become more loose, so I have...

I went to the Purlescence sale yesterday. I was trying to stay away, but I was holding out hope that All Seasons Cotton would be on sale, so I could get some to make Manon. It wasn't, but I found some Maizy and Puffin that I liked, for socks and ...

I have been wanting to teach Niels' class to finger knit and it seems like now is finally the time. One of the other class moms is a knitter too and offered to help me teach them. We're using the instructions from Knitty as a starting point. I dec...

tomato, prewashing tomato, postwashing

I finished my Tomato tee today! (Ravelry project details.) I'm very pleased with it. I have to say that I was a bit anxious how it would turn out when I tried it on before washing it. It just looked droopy and not very flattering. But, Pakucho i...

almost ripe chocolate tomato

I am a sneeze away from being done with my Organic Chocolate Tomato tee. I've been quietly knitting away on it. It's hard for me to tell if it's going well, since it will shrink 10% when I wash and dry it the first time. It doesn't look great now,...

shedir niels models stefan too

I finished my Shedir a couple of days ago. I really liked this pattern and this yarn (Calmer). Niels and Stefan wanted to model it too. I started another chemo cap but I'm not crazy about how it's going. I think I might change it.
