Flax…What a Feeling
It’s been a while since I’ve posted any of my projects here. As I mentioned in my last post, I didn’t have a whole lot of motivation to knit in 2022. That finally kicked back in right around Thanksgiving. So, I actually started this project in December 2021, when I finally gave in to the…

Finished Object: Nipote
It took me six months from cast on to last end woven in, and missed its recipient’s birth by a month and a half, but the baby blanket I have knitted for my nephew, lovingly called “Nipote” (both the blanket and the nephew), is finally finished. I would have loved to give this a nice…

Hat-A-Palooza
I have something to confess: since December, I’ve been obsessed with knitting stranded colorwork hats (otherwise known as “Fair Isle” knitting). I have affectionately branded this “Hat-A-Palooza”. It started innocently enough: I had a significant amount of smaller balls of yarn to stash bust (from what The Lady Bryan sent to me for Christmas 2019),…

On Lockdown: May 2020 Edition (Plus, A Finished Object)
As the nation enters its third month or so of social distancing measures, I figured it would be a good time to give an update on how my family and I have been doing in isolation. Save for a couple of days last week when he went in to write up performance reviews for a…

Who Says I Can’t Finish a UFO?
It was well over a year ago when I started Rock Me on the Bias, which was chronicled in the post Motivation Lost and Found, but I finally finished it a couple of weeks ago. I didn’t get a chance to give it a proper photo shoot, though, because of Thanksgiving week and life happening.…

Not long after I published my most recent post, celebrating my 100th follow on this blog, I looked at my stats on my WordPress app and realized I had published 99 posts to date. Knowing that my 100th post was just around the corner, I knew I had to get going on the final stages…

You’re Like a LoveWave
Today marks the Grand Final of the 2019 Eurovision Song Contest, where 26 countries (out of 41 who entered) will throw it down onstage for the chance to be named Europe’s best new song of the year and also for the right to host the 2020 Contest. The Netherlands’ 🇳🇱 entry, “Arcade” by Duncan Laurence,…

Is This Your Shawl?
When we last left my shawl, it looked something like this: It was a handful of repeats into the pattern, but already showing promise. Over the course of 17 days, adding repeat by repeat, it started to look like a nice shawlette. Not a full size shawl, but honestly I’m cool with that because the…

All the World is Waiting for You, and the Power You Possess
Any fans of American television from the 1970s may recognize the words in the title of this post, for those who don’t, they’re lyrics from the theme song to the Wonder Woman TV series starring Lynda Carter. And as such, this post has something to do with Wonder Woman. Or rather, the Wrap inspired by…

While I Was Away (Or, Ermahgerd…Finished Objects!)
In case the title didn’t give it away…La vie en rose et violet is finally complete! I actually finished this baby on September 6th (and I know this because I wrote the date down in notes I was keeping for the blog in the event of a much longer hiatus). She turned out to be a…
