square number one. [96.365]

I finished this square Friday evening, and was able to take pictures of it today. I'm really loving how the square turned out. I adore knitting with Noro, and Cascade Eco Wool is another favorite of mine (I combined these to great effect on Stripes!, though that was a different colorway of Noro). I think…

saturday. [95.365]

Found some time to knit on square number two of my mitered square blanket. Went errand-running with A and M, and found super cute short jammies on sale for M at Old Navy: <div align="center" She loves ladybugs and strawberries, so these were her favorites of the 3 pairs we got (the others had whales…

saturday. [88.365]

Rosemary and some other herbs marinating in olive oil, to be used in the olive oil dough I made on Saturday (basically following the recipe in Artisan Bread in 5 Minutes a Day, just adding herbs). We baked two loaves of it on Sunday morning, one to freeze for later and one to eat with…

finished! [61.365]

I finished M's sweater today, in addition the the usual Sunday activities: baking a loaf of honey flax bread for my lunches during the week, baking a batch of scones for A's breakfasts, cooking up a batch of black bean/sweet potato/onion/sriracha to serve with cheese over farro for my breakfasts...Sundays have always been pretty major…

swatching at my desk. [59.365]

Today was a little crazy. I decided (kind of last-minute) to submit some of the design ideas I've had banging around my brain for Brooklyn Tweed's Wool People 8. I figure if they accept them, awesome, if not, they're ones I'm planning to write up and knit for self-publishing anyway, so no big loss. Except…

i-cord. [54.365]

Another day of mostly working (getting caught back up after losing nearly a week to that stomach bug is taking awhile!), but I did get a chance to take more pictures of the progress I've made on M's sweater since yesterday. Lots and lots of i-cord...I wrote a bit about what I'm trying to do…

sweater-in-progress. [53.365]

I actually worked most of today (boo!) but I did get a little bit of time to take pictures of M's sweater-in-progress, and later in the day I got to start working on the i-cord edging. I'm so delighted with how this sweater is turning out. It's definitely going to be on the "oversized" side…

yoke and yarn. [39.365]

AKA "M's sweater, take 3". I cast on the wrong number of stitches for Take 2, and then had an epiphany about the design and realized that top-down would be a better way to go. I was able to do the i-cord cast-on and part of the yoke while M napped this afternoon. I'm so…

matchy matchy. [26.365]

I started a new project this weekend... Cathy gave me some gorgeous Fleece Artist BFL Aran in a GMDS package awhile back, and it was almost a perfect match to the BFL aran that I'd knit my blue girlified-Cobblestone sweater out of several years ago. As some of you know, I have a bit of…
