Rift and Sock
This is a sock from Knitpicks’s Socktacular. It has an eyelet rib pattern and an unusual heel. I’m also still working on the Market Jacket, and I have made the head of a stuffed bunny, but even so I have […]
DYW Spring 2022 Palette
Coral Rose is also in the Pantone palette for Spring 2022, so that lets me bring in the new coral yarns. And I do have some periwinkle yarn, so I currently have two fabrics and half a dozen coordinating yarn […]
Yarn Pop-Up
#2 daughter and I went to a pop-up shop from the new local yarn shop. We both ran into old friends, and I bought yarn. I wanted to buy a skein or two for #2 daughter, but she resisted. I’m […]
