    Two Knits

    Bymichelle March 31, 2017August 6, 2022

    First, I should probably apologize for this post because I’m writing it while listening to a playlist of random favorites.  At the moment, Neil Diamond’s Holly Holy is playing.  It’s distracting. This…

    So Much Seed Stitch, Then a Rant

    Bymichelle March 8, 2017August 6, 2022

    How have I been knitting for 15+ years and still not yet knit a Wool and the Gang pattern?  Weird, huh? So the Julia Sweater is my first one.  It’s also been in my…

    Bymichelle February 14, 2017August 6, 2022

    Bymichelle February 11, 2017August 5, 2022

    Feyre isn’t the only shawl from Very Shannon that I’ve been working on recently.  I also ordered a crap-ton of Cascade Eco from Craftsy, when I ordered the marled Patons,…
