I finished the one wristwarmer last night. It didn’t even take two full evenings! It’s very pretty! I have yet to weave in ends (oh, what a loathesome task!!!! though there’s not that many for this project) so it wasn’t worth taking a photo of just yet. I really do like [...]

They’ve been started. The beaded cast-on was fun at first, but got tedious as the yarn started curling on itself from all the pulling. Something happened with my join I think, or something got twisted because the first row sort of disappears into the main colour. I can’t figure out why, and [...]

go….first, a close up of the front. The ribbing looks pretty good but I had to pick up the stitches THREE times…(long story).
Overview of the back. I love how it turned out. The colours are nicely distributed. Except for the one row of wonky diamonds, I love it.
A look at the texture.
Pulled back view of [...]

So, I was doing great! I finished an entire repeat of the lozenge stitch, it was looking beautiful…only six more rows till I could add the sleeves! I thought I would read ahead and see how I was going to get those sleeves attached.
Suddenly, I thought I made a big mistake. I thought, “hmm…maybe I [...]

Both sleeves are now done! It’s too late to even cast on the back piece, but I’m excited that that is what I can do tomorrow!Here is a pic of the lower parts of both sleeves. They sort of match, but not really:

I think they do look sort of cool. It’s not [...]

I have finished the first sleeve on the Shimmer shrug. No pics for the time being as I have no internet connection at home. Give this a week or so and normal service will resume. I’m pretty happy with how it came out, but I stupidly was increasing every 10th row and [...]

I finished the first sock, I’ve cast on for the second one and have done about 10 rows of ribbing. I have a lot of things I want to work on, so I’ll probably do this one a little at a time. I just realised how many projects I’ve done in the round [...]

Here is is so far:I’m doing it in the round on size 17 (12.75mm) needles…(yes, the snow melted and I was able to get them!) I’ve been going very slowly on it because I have had other things occupying me, but last night it made a huge jump in length and now I’m really [...]

Ok, here is the first Shining Star. I think it took me over an hour and at least 10 tries to start this. My needles were big, heavy, shiny metal which just would NOT cooperate! Finally I caved and cast on the same way I did for the pinwheel blanket. I altered the bottom of [...]
