Before: After: Before: After: Talk about unfinished, this particular project has been YEARS in the making. Either that or a really long hiatus. I’m so excited to finally bring it to completion and doubly excited to be felting again. For the record, the fiber is Patons Classic Wool Merino.

This vest is a beautiful design from Jared Flood aka Brooklyntweed which I started in January 2009 and haven’t touched in months. <sigh> I don’t know why I thought a purple vest was a good idea – I already have one!

Here’s a project that I’m ambivalent about. Should I try and figure out where I left off or frog the entire piece?  The original pattern called for two balls of Misti Alpaca Hand Paint  but I’m on my third and I fear I’ll need a fourth. So with all this yardage, I’m afraid that I’ll be [...]

Startitis is an affliction of new and old knitters alike and alas, I have succumbed again. I didn’t even get through my inventory of unfinished pieces when there I go and start something new. I actually wanted to make another shrug like the one I had made Ali last year – and I swear that [...]

This is a great sock pattern but again, requiring more concentration than I’m willing to expend at this time in my life. I feel so lazy! And those charts – you really have to pay attention to the charts. Ah well, it’s summer right? Records show that I started the Nemesis on January 4, 2011 [...]

This beauty has been nearly two years in the making and now measures a whopping 54 inches long. Yet I’m loathe to cast off. Like a deliciously good book, I don’t want it to ever end. Ok…so I exaggerate. The Upstairs Shawl pattern is so simple that it’s a genuine pleasure to knit and can [...]

I’ve started to take stock of my many unfinished knitting projects…well…just for the hell of it I guess. Now that it’s summer, I don’t have an excuse for *not* knitting, unless I blame the weather. These here are Pyroclastic, a free pattern on Knitty and a challenging sock which I used to enjoy. Sigh. Perhaps [...]

As proof that I still knit socks now and then, I offer these little minis, being modeled here by the big hands of sister Liz. Her friend, Madeline, had a baby girl named Emily about a week ago and these socks are for her. Congrats to mother and baby!

I finished this little scarf so long ago that I had to look on Ravelry to remember exactly when. My Rav notes show that I finished the Sailing Sea Scarf on Dec. 27, 2010 – Is that even possible?!?!? Here I am thinking to myself that I must have cast off a month or so [...]

…I am once again knitting socks.
