Hat trick

Posted on November 25, 2015 by wonkydonkey

One, two, three hats done! I know I said I was going to start on another Antler hat, but I changed my mind. Instead, I decided to cast on a dinosaur hat. 🙂

Now with antlers

Posted on November 24, 2015 by wonkydonkey

An Antler Hat is on the needles, in school bus yellow this time – but it’s turning out a little too small for the recipient I had in mind, so I’ll be making yet another (larger) one right after this … Continue reading →

Yakity yak

Posted on November 13, 2015 by wonkydonkey

I finished that grey cowl, and I also finished a project from the hibernating WIP box – so I felt justified in casting on a new project last night. This is a Pretty Thing cowl, which I am knitting in … Continue reading →

Back at it

Posted on October 2, 2015 by wonkydonkey

Knitting! Hurrah! My finger feels pretty good and I’m able to knit with abandon once more. I’m using up some excess handspun, working up a pair of fingerless mitts.

Done!

Posted on September 17, 2015 by wonkydonkey

I finished the Willow Cowl on the way home last night. It turned out great! I don’t know how much yardage it took, because my handspun lost its label… But I had plenty of yarn left – enough that I’m … Continue reading →

Willow Cowl

Posted on September 16, 2015 by wonkydonkey

I’ve got six more rounds of stockinette and then it’s time to fold over the picot edge at the top and bind off. It’s pretty big when laid out flat, but collapses when worn. I like the pattern quite a … Continue reading →

Going for a little spin

Posted on September 12, 2015 by wonkydonkey

The yarn I spun while at the cabin last weekend is all done. I ended up with about 450 yards from the 4-ounce braid; that means the yarn is around a fingering weight. It should be fairly stripe-y — though … Continue reading →

The little things

Posted on September 11, 2015 by wonkydonkey

After our four-day weekend in the woods, the Mr. and I had a crazy-busy week at work —- because we are also taking today off to head out of town again! While a 3-day work week is great, there was … Continue reading →

Ondine on pins

Posted on August 16, 2015 by wonkydonkey

She’s done! Ondine is happily blocking, with help from blocking wires because I was having a time getting all the picots pinned out evenly. As-is she measures 15″ deep at the center back, and 45″ in diameter side to side; … Continue reading →
