Update 11/14: I’ve made 2 of the 3 pieces of this – front and back – but not the between piece. I plan to line this with a pink cupcake fabric, and attach with a pink flower button. I may actually make a flower out of ribbon to attach to the side.
I doubled the yarn. See the other 3 colors in my projects for how the handles turned out.
Finished: Added a pink bow and a glittery pink button at the end.
The WofA has such nice definition on the cables, I love it.

For my trip to CA? Try to adjust to make in the round for less finishing work. Update 11/14: Swatched today and started in the round magic-loop-style. Update 11/21: worked in the round for the sleeves, went back to back and forth for the body, and then back to the round. I didn’t get quite…
Auny Vickie mentioned wanting a scarf to match her winter coat offhand on Facebook, and I saw this in my stash and thought it’d be a good easy “between” project since I enjoyed the other version of this pattern during the Thanksgiving trip a lot. used full skein with only enough for a small flower…
gauge swatch relaxed just a touch (25st/4” to 24st/4”, while pattern called for 26). I’m knitting a 38” bust (to account for that difference; I’m closer to 40) and increasing to 50” hip. increased number of rows of twisted ribbing on the top, and then an extra bit of gray before starting the color. did…
finished the first diagonal stripe and found it would be hard to do the short rows after the stripe two at a time (2AAT). hibernating while I decide if I want to do them one at a time.
Started Thyme on halloween. Casting on took a while, and the pattern wasn’t very intuitive the first side through. I made a chart to help me, and will upload that to Ravelry or my knitting site soon. Update 11/14: made all 3 pieces – front, back, and stripe for between. Just need to attach together….
started these on the #alumholiday road trip. 10-11-2015 finished toe increases and knit on these during E’s reunion. 11-15-2015 knit through a busy weekend! 11-18-2015 at 5 1/2” of the foot. 12-02-2015 just before the heel, increased 2 stitches on the instep (same style increase as toe) to give it more room on top. 7…
