i actually finished something that isn't a hat or mittens! i'm feeling so good about this. this pattern was so easy peasy and fast that i definitely think i'll be making another one. i thought i would like wearing it best with the points at my sides but i actually really like it with the points in the front and back.


for the most part this was great subway knitting, i'm conviced thats how i got it done in about a week! towards the end it got a little bulky but i made it work. :)

i love it!!!

halfway there

another great knitting group tonight! and i do believe we might have our first male member. woowooo!

last night i cast-on the side-ways ribs cardigan...i love it so much! bulky yarn on sz. 13 needles?! yes please!

here i am modeling what it would kindasorta look like once done. :) hehe

almost done!

im not sure how much longer to go, but i think its just about done! i thought i might like it with the points on the sides, but i actually really like it as the poncho. what do you think? ps, like my bow?! got it on sale :) hehe

WIP: caponcho

i was getting so impatient with the progress on my stockholm scarf, that i had to cast-on for something new! something bulky on big needles :) so, i bring you rosa's caponcho! it's a little bit cape, a little bit poncho...totally my style. i started it two days ago and look how much is done so far! thats what im talkin' about.

i think i made the cowl a little bit too long, but i'm liking how bulky it is up there. i can already tell im going to love this once its done, i already see another in my future! :)

this is an old(ish) FO, but i wanted to show it anyway :). i added the thumb thing so i could text! this was my second time trying this pattern and there are still a few things i would change...but overall i like em!

i didn't get a picture of the other glove, but they are definitely fraternal twins. these are pretty warm, but i must say i might need to make some bulky 100% wool mittens. the winter here has been pretty cold and i need all the help i can get!

knitting triangle

today was the first official meeting of my new knitting triangle! usually my friend joy and i get together and knit, but today she recruited her friend sonni. we're hoping to make this a regular weekly thing, yay!
here we are at our first official meeting :)


don't mind my i-just-rolled-out-of-bed look.

here is the progress on my stockholm scarf so far, something tells me this thing is going to take forever. ah!!!

vacation knitting

i've been in michigan the past few days enjoying some family time, and on the flight here i cast-on for a new project...the stockholm scarf! i love how big and snuggly this cowl/scarf looks, it right up my alley.

i fancy myself a relatively fast knitter, but when you have 276 stitches per round, its so hard to get much done in a sitting! i only got about an inch done on a two hour flight! ah!

this project will definitely help me to practice patience. im really likING it so far. while i've been here i bought yarn for two more similar projects. i guess i'm all about the neckwear! :)

ps happy new year! one of my resolutions: BLOG MORE! wooowooo
