Look what arrived at my house not too long ago… Aren’t the colors great together?  While browsing Ravelry a while back I came across a project I really loved.  I stuck it in my favorites so I wouldn’t forget about it and went on to work my way through my long, loooong, list of projects that were waiting to be finished.  Recently I …

So, my Sylvi is finished!  I think this was my longest planned, most put off, hardest worked on, most sworn at and awesome project yet! I was was first asked to make this jacket back in August 2014, but between other projects and orders that came along, I just kept pushing it off.  I also was completely intimidated by the intricate pattern on the …

In my previous post about my Squishy Soft Fun Denim Shawl I had mentioned that I went for colors that are not really my norm this time around.  I wasn’t sure why, but I just really wanted to do something in pink. The other day it dawned on me where that inspiration came from and what was pulling me towards pink so …

A few weeks ago I received a package with some new yarn from Scheepjes. It’s an addition to their Soft Fun line, called Soft Fun Denim and it comes in the following colors: When it arrived, I pretty much ransacked the box.  Taking photos of the balls of yarn still pretty and intact was the farthest thing from my mind, I …

I really should have renamed this hat, I have no idea what a phoncible is and there’s just no getting cute with that name in a blog title. Anyway, it’s finished and I LOVE IT!  It worked out just as great as I thought it would with the two different color changes and I don’t mind the rolled up edge …

As it turns out, I was able to show some self restraint with my Phoncible Hat, it’s not finished yet! It’s so weird to have to stop myself from finishing something rather than pushing to get it done, but I’m glad I left this one alone. I want to work on it more while I am away. Look at those …

The Noorse Sokkenwol* by Scheepjes, how on earth did I not realize that there was a thicker alternative to the Scheepjes Invicta Colour yarn out there?  I think my addiction to that yarn is pretty well documented and I blame Ravelry.  There are just so many patterns out there for shawls, socks and all sorts of other things using self …

A few weeks ago I was asked to make a sample shawl for Scheepjeswol’s yarn kit for Kika (a children’s Cancer charity) that they released last week.  It’s a kit that includes a knitting and crochet pattern using the Invicta Colour and Invicta Extra yarns, which are current favorites of mine, and the yarns I’ve used for my Dreambird shawls.   …

Hey there!  Welcome to anyone who is a first time visitor that hopped by from yesterday’s post over at Fifty Shades of 4 Ply! Also, welcome back to my regular gang!  It’s been a while, right?  Well, I’m still kicking and have been knitting my butt off lately.  I have a lot of projects to update you all on, plus …

Remember back in 2012 when I completed my goal to learn to knit socks?  Well, I have a confession to make. At that time I learned to knit SOCK… singular.  Yup, I immediately got a case of single sock syndrome (where you finish the first sock but never get around to finishing the second. It’s an illness among sock knitters). …

Yarn: Scheepjes Stone Washed XL  (850 – Garnet) Pattern: Sylvi (Ravelry) I’m so excited about this project, even though I keep putting it off as more urgent things come up.  I first added the pattern to my favorites on Ravelry last year and filed it away in my brain under “pipedream”… meaning, no way I’d ever be able to knit something that …
