First, I got a loom! Kromski Harp Rigid Heddle. I’ve named it Cameron. Since my wheel is Ferris, I figured my loom should be Cameron. I suppose the next thing I buy I have to name Simone. myloom And here’s my first weaving project. firstweaving It’s stalled out however, because I’ve been spending all my [...]

front Yesterday I knit an entire hat. BAM! My first finished knit of the year. And it only took me two months! leftside It turned out a little on the small side but I love the way it looks enough not to rip it. I’ll just gift it and be happy with it just the [...]

I finally got around to finishing my 3rd Clapotis. Made with Wool in the Woods Golddust in Lottery colors. I am sorry if you are in love with this yarn just by seeing it, but it’s discontinued and has been for ages. I just knit that slowly. There’s nothing I can say about this pattern [...]

First, I promised a picture of the Shmocks. shmocks Done with Blue Moon STR med weight in Loch Ness, Basic two at a time toe-up, plain foot, short row heel, and 4×1 ribbed cuff. He wears them, and asked all on his own about how to wash them, so I am guessing he likes them. [...]
