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…

I’ve added the afghan to the FO gallery, and updated my sidebar. It’s official. I’m in Harry Potter land. This is not, as I’d feared, the most boring thing I’ve ever knit. (That medal still goes to the 1×1 rib scarf in black cashmerino aran for the hubby. I still…

That afghan is DONE. …and I started the HP scarf, after all. It must be done for Hannukkah, and I’m a firm believer in getting the nasty stuff over with as quickly as possible. Plus, the yarn was already wound and the pattern already printed out the other morning when…

…meet Square number three: …and Square number four! (Extra-long bedtime routine for the little one today, including lots of Dr. Seuss. He’s getting his first-year molars, ugh.) My dining room table is a veritable block-fest, but I’ll keep the pictures down to 2 or 3 a day so that hopefully…

Well, that took a wee bit longer than it should have. Thankfully, the stash is safe and sound in its new home. (Behold, a very pink picture of the stash.) It’s also rather sizable, thanks to TGEOAT‘s Herculean efforts. I am staunchly resisting her latest attempt, though. …And as lame…

We’ve been packed up and most of our earthly posessions are on a truck somewhere. That’s the stash. I hope the poor wool makes it through the heat and altitude and distance okay. Another square finished on the afghan, but no pictures for the moment. We’re here visiting family in…
