Scarves
Sparkly Lace Ribbon Scarf
I wore this scarf this morning, and realized I had never written a post about it. Pattern: Lace Ribbon Scarf by Veronik Avery (Ravelry Project Page) Yarn: Dream in Color Starry in Honeymoon (it sparkles!) on Size #5 Needles Mods: I went up a needle size, so could only do 19-1/2 repeats of the pattern [...]
Trapeze Shawl
Every once in a while, I finish a project and don’t want to look at it for a while. Something about it strikes a nerve. The yarn was fussy, the pattern had errors, it was just a horrible slog. Something happens that makes me fold it neatly in a drawer and put it away when [...]
Dipped Infinity Scarf
I didn’t get much work done on the blanket this weekend. For whatever reason, I got an itch to finish a couple of projects that have languished in the WIP pile for ages and ages. In one weekend, I had two complete projects, the first being this Dipped Infinity Scarf: Here are the details: Pattern: Dipped [...]
Summer of Mystery Shawls
Knitters tend to fall into two camps: process knitters vs. product knitters. Product knitters are more concerned with the finished project, the actual knitting is merely a means to an end. The joy is in the completion. Knitting a full-sized sweater with thin yarn on small needles? Repeating the same simple stitch pattern over and [...]
Cerasifera Shawl – A Huge Thank You
I know I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again – I was blessed with super awesome parents. When they visited us a few weeks ago, we mentioned to them that we were casually looking for a second car, but we hadn’t found just the right vehicle. When they returned home to Florida after [...]

Ulmus Shawlette
Don’t you just love the word “shawlette”? Or is it just me? I knit what is technically a smaller version of a full sized shawl, hence, “shawlette.” Pattern: Ulmus by Kirsten Kapur – smallest size (Ravelry Link) Yarn: The Loopy Ewe Solid Series yarn in Smoke and Teal (1 skein of each) Started 6/15/11, Finished [...]
Super Squishy Cowl
After the Thanksgiving meal planning, prep, cooking and eating, I wanted to relax with a knitting project. I was craving some instant gratification, so I pulled some super bulky yarn from my stash: Sheep Shop Yarn Company – Sheep 2 Yarn I cast on 72 stitches, and worked a feather-and-fan pattern until I ran out [...]
Just Enough Ruffles Scarf
First of all, thank you all so much for the kind words about my February Lady Sweater! I really appreciate all of the nice comments, thank you thank you thank you! I actually have another finished knitting project to show you. Behold, the “Just Enough Ruffles” scarf: Hello, I was apparently very tired when this [...]
