[regular blog post at the bottom below the Yarn Along post] So these are some of my recent projects. All of these went into the shop (except that last in-progress photo) but only the miniatures are left. I do like making things people enjoy! Of course, if it's not enjoyable for me then it's hard … Continue reading Yarn Along for August

Yarn Along: cardigan and Women’s Work
I feel a bit bad about co-opting the regular post yesterday for a Yarn Along post (especially since it linked to the shop), so here's a more original one. I've been working (slowly, in between other projects) on a plain, basic cardigan for myself. I like the color although I can't get it to show … Continue reading Yarn Along: cardigan and Women’s Work
Yarn Along: Miniature crocheted bedspread and pillows
I can't begin to tell you how much time goes into something this small! This set is now listed at Cozy House Curios. *** I had just published this post when I saw there was a Yarn Along for March posted! In the interest of efficiency I decided to edit this into a YA post. … Continue reading Yarn Along: Miniature crocheted bedspread and pillows
Yarn Along: Cross Blanket
This is one of those hibernating WIP (work(s) in progress) that I've been trying to dig out and finish. I think I started this about 12-18 months ago and dropped after row 8 or something. I'm on my third skein now and making decent progress. In case you can't imagine the finished product, here is … Continue reading Yarn Along: Cross Blanket
Yarn Along: Wool Martinmas Cardigan
I cast on for the Martinmas sweater while waiting to board in Houston last week. I finished it yesterday and it's blocking. All it lacks now are buttons. I put together an unorthodox combination of factors (sport weight yarn, size 3 needles, pattern size 6-8) in the hopes that the end result would fit Mittens. … Continue reading Yarn Along: Wool Martinmas Cardigan
Yarn Along: Patchwork Knitting
Last evening I finally finished this patchwork knit blanket for baby Irene. Her baptism is Saturday and I was in a rush to finish. This morning I finished weaving in the rest of the 128 yarn ends. Eight rows, 64 squares, nearly 40,000 stitches. I won't be doing another like this in … Continue reading Yarn Along: Patchwork Knitting
Yarn Along: Multiple Unfinished Projects and Books
Newborn Baby Boy Sweater Set [Edit: I no longer support Ravelry by linking to them] The sweater (just a simple, garter stitch, top-down cardigan) was fine, but the hat (seen in progress, knitted flat) is looking way too big. I'm going to frog it and start over today. That's the way the cookie crumbles. A … Continue reading Yarn Along: Multiple Unfinished Projects and Books
Yarn Along: Doll Layette and other things…
I finally finished this doll layette! It's a combination of knit and crochet - pretty much whatever I felt like doing. Everything is from my own pattern so they're all one-of-a-kind. It fits 15 inch dolls (but probably larger ones too). You can find it in my Etsy shop here. I've been rereading a lot … Continue reading Yarn Along: Doll Layette and other things…
Yarn Along: Hitchhiker’s Guide and Tiny Layette
I started on this tiny layette yesterday and was able to finish the bonnet and dress before bed. I'm working on the seed stitch blanket and wondering why I chose seed stitch. My hands are killing me! The needles are size 000 (1.5mm diameter), the smallest I have, and I'm wishing I had smaller ones. … Continue reading Yarn Along: Hitchhiker’s Guide and Tiny Layette
Yarn Along: Into Thin Air and Dead Wake
I've been enjoying making this sweater. It has an asymmetrical front (a bit difficult to see right now) and I found the perfect buttons to complement the yarn! I followed the directions for the 6 month size but it turned into an 18 month size. Ah well. It was destined for the shop anyway. (c; … Continue reading Yarn Along: Into Thin Air and Dead Wake
