I am now finishing the first of the 2 sleeves on the sweater. I think it is going to be a quarter sleeve instead ofa long sleeve. It just doesn’t seem to be telling me it wants long sleeves. It is coming out really great. I did make one kind of annoying mistake [...]

Raglan progress
I am about 4 rows from the suggested bottom ribbing. I don’t know that I will put THAT much ribbing at the bottom. It looks like a good 6 inches of ribbing *blech*. I will see what it looks like in a few more rows. It has been modified heavily to meet my [...]
Knit It Down, Top down sweater
Okay so this was first thing this morning. I am now under the arms and working my way down to the next set of decreases. Joyful. I made some major changes, as in the yoke and collar. No way I was going to waste all that yarn for a collar to flap off the back [...]

Loosely Cabled Tank Top

3 full skeins Blue Colorspun Plymouth Yarn
2+ skeins Pink Worsted Plymouth Yarn
I am in awe of the squishy gorgeous that is still laying on my couch. What am I [...]
