Remember my Cederberg Spacewalk progress post? It’s finally finished! I’m so very happy with how the colors turned out, and would love to use this color combination in another project in the future. This shawl turned out to be so very long! It’s much longer than a scarf! I usually like asymmetrical shawls but I …
Have you knit legwarmers before? I have been wanting to make a pair ever since I started knitting, but always put it off because all those fingering-weight rounds were intimidating! I finally found the perfect pattern in friendly plush worsted weight yarn in Felicia Lo’s Après sock pattern, from the book Operation Sock Drawer. These …

There were a few challenges in knitting Grotto Nymph for me – knitted lace, linen yarn, fingering weight top. I live in a …
This summer I wanted to try a knit along with some of my knitting friends. I’ve never participated in a knit along before, let alone a mystery knit along!
