In progress

Hi there! Life has been SUPER busy here lately. I've been sewing and knitting but just haven't taken the time to get good pictures.

I have to tell you, I've been knitting on my Henslowe shawl most evenings and it's such a fun knit! It's my first time knitting on a lace edging and I'm so tickled with how it's turning out. I was expecting it to be complicated but it's really easy. This knit is almost DONE!


I made another Farmer's Wife block. It's #60, Noon & Light. I used some fabrics from Denyse Schmidt's new Aunt Edna collection from JoAnn's.

a {very} belated happy new year!

Hi! I had no intention of taking such a long blogging break and now I have a major backlog of things I want to share. We had a lovely Christmas spent with family. There was a small flurry of last minute knitting on my part to make my hubby a pair of Fuzzy Feet.
I love how quick these are. I knit the second one in a single day! However, now that we have a front loading washing machine, I've been unable to felt them to a perfect fit. I used Peace Fleece worsted in the Ancient Fern color. I don't felt things very often so if anyone has any tips to get them more felted I would appreciate it.

The next thing I finished was my Avery scarf. I have to admit I'm a tiny bit disappointed in this one. I should have known the yarn I used (Queensland Kathmandu Aran Tweed) would totally mask the stitch pattern. It's still a great scarf in a nice charcoal grey and I will wear it lots!


And just last week I cast on for a new project, Henslowe. I've been wanting to use this Lorna's Laces sock yarn that I won from Yarn Tootin' a while back. I just love the muted grays, browns and aquas together! I don't have a great history of finishing the shawls that I start but I have high hopes for this one, it starts off with some nice soothing garter stitch.


Can you believe it? A whole post on knitting! :)
I hope your year is off to a great start too!
