You can’t win if you don’t play, the saying goes, and I guess it’s right. I usually don’t enter blog contests, but when the multi-talented Grumperina ran a photo contest for a very long scarf scarcely a week after I took this photo, I couldn’t resist. And what do you…

Wow, that was a busy week. Even though I’m home during the day, daylight savings really seems to have cut into my photo time. Or maybe it’s just because Jacob thinks naps are for weenies. 🙂 Either way, I present to you a belated FO roundup: Pattern: Classic Harry Potter…

HP Scarf is finished and happy! FO entry and sidebar updates, etc. later this week for sure. I just haven’t had a solitary few minutes to shoot. (And Jacob, though cute, just isn’t a tall enough model!) My gram’s cardigan is also well on its way. I chose the Fir…

Guess what’s almost done? Almost done in the “just needs fringe” sense. One good thing about all that stockinette is that it sure goes quickly. Better yet, I think I’ve found the perfect pattern for that Silky Wool I want to use for my gram’s cardigan. This mountain of holiday…

Square 10: Square 11: This is the only one I am not totally fond of. I think my gram will like it, though, and it looks okay amongst all of the others. Seaming continues! I really hope to be bordering this before the weekend is out and finishing it next…

I have two more square photos for you. There are still 3 more to block and show you (remember, this is a lap-sized blanket), but 9 is officially enough to start seaming. I played around with layout a bit, and Jacob helped. And after fiddling around a bit, I decided…

Man: Devil: God: I don’t remember what I’ve said about this project, but it’s a lap blanket for one of my grandmothers, for when she’s in her wheelchair. The yarn, Berroco Ultra Alpaca, is super-soft and squishy. I’m having lots of fun working with it. I knit most of the…
