DECEMBER 1: i-cord on everything!
Just barely squeaking by with a November post!
I’ve got a lot of projects at the almost-finished stage, which is deeply distressing in a lot of ways! Also just renewed my cheapish WordPress subscription, so am experiencing low-level angst about how terrible the blog and site look and how infrequently I really use them. MEANWHILE: November saw two completed design projects: Liner NotesContinue reading “Just barely squeaking by with a November post!”
Alfa.

The slightly weird shape lends itself well to wearing; there are a couple of ways to styleContinue reading “Gopher.”
Coming soon! This shawl is an expansion of the Dog Days 8 pattern—essentially, I was working up a second sample, but I had ~500 yards of worsted-ish yarn, and wanted to keep going. This is a cotton blend (it’s Caron Cotton Cakes or something else big-box; it’s surprisingly enjoyable to knit with), and seems likeContinue reading
Dog Days 8.
I still need to add this one to the overall Dog Days portfolio (done), but there is a new mini-project in the series. It’s kerchief-sized, and I really like the textured lace in this one.
