I’ve always wanted to knit an intricate circular shawl, and this is the one I’ve watched other people knit (Carin from Round the Twist, Megan from Stockinette Zombies) that captured my attention. I have 1760 yards of Knit Picks Gloss Lace in Blackberry (4 skeins at 50g each of 440yards). It would be neat to…
I found some self-striping yarn in my stash to join in on the Stockinette Zombie’s self-striping knit along for 2022. Using yarn that had previously been a shawl that didn’t work great for me! And then, being me, I’ve been expanding the shawl to be bigger based on how much yarn I have left.
My very first yarn advent is a Disney Princess-inspired set of 24 minis and a full skein for Christmas. This set was from Yarn Café Creations. It was a fun experience! When finding a pattern, I wanted something that could use most of the minis, something that showed off all of the multicolored yarns, and…
After viewing a variety of projects that used this pattern, I chose to make a 3 color version instead of two because that’s what I had. And it ended up that I was able to do a 3 color version with only 3 skeins instead of 4. Used the two-color brioche instructions for section 3….
I’m feeling extra spooky/witchy/halloween-y this year. So I really needed a shawl to match this feeling. Enter, my design, the Superpowers shawl. When I was setting up the blog, and wanted my patterns to be available #offrav, it was joyful to look at my pics again to add the pattern to payhip. It made me…
I’ve been spending more time on knitting Twitter after stopping updating Ravelry, and find some faces getting family (my Accessibility Crafters list has some of these people). Rachy Newin is one of those people. When I saw the Heart of the Atlantic Shawl, I was excited to try something crochet that had more techniques I…
My usual annual event each summer is the Zombie Knitpocalypse, in Rochester MN. This has extended into the Zombie Knitting Network, and I’ve formed more relationships, especially while giggling late at night on Zoom. So since my health required more vigilance to appointments in 2021 instead of the retreat, some of my friends volunteered to…
Happy birthday month to me! At zk2016, we got a rainbow of mini skeins and a bag to match for the goodie bag. My 45th birthday month seemed like the perfect time to finally knit them up! Using one of Julia weesheep’s patterns seemed like a nice match too because she is in all of…
Twin with Ingrid!
Added the rest of the yarn from Crockern Tor as the edging. Cast on for guthstorm in March and knit during ZK in June.
