Bymichelle March 20, 2014August 3, 2022

… we don’t say dis (Sorry, it’s compulsive.)   This is my second knit for the Holla Knits KAL and it was really a change for me.  It’s fitted, cowl-necked,…

Mittens Two at a Time

Bymichelle March 19, 2014August 3, 2022

So, I’m past the thumbs on my Linden mittens, which is like the last lap, I think.  There’s a nice little stretch of mindless hand to knit before decreases.  It…

We Don’t Say Dis

Bymichelle March 3, 2014November 28, 2023

So I’m maybe a third of the way through Lilith Ubbelohde’s cowl-neck shell, Sexxxy Librarian.  Yes, that’s sexxxy with a triple x; though, as I knit this in my ginormous yoga…

Bymichelle February 28, 2014August 3, 2022

Bymichelle February 14, 2014August 3, 2022

I pinned this head scarf, by Elisa McLaughlin, a couple of years ago because I thought it was different than other knit or crochet headband patterns I’d seen.  It didn’t tie,…

“4,8,15,16,23,42…”

Bymichelle February 13, 2014August 3, 2022

I buckled down and focused for a few evenings to get through the front panels on my Eastwood.    The tv was off, my book languished, and I mostly worked…

Antrorse

Bymichelle February 10, 2014August 3, 2022

This one is Antrorse, by Shannon Cook.  I pretty much love the stitch pattern and fold down collar details, so prepare yourself for image overload. Antrorse is a fairly quick…

Knitta Throwdown

Bymichelle February 7, 2014August 3, 2022

On Ravelry I call it Gaming Hat, but it felt a bit like a shaming hat.  I haven’t really knit that much for my son.  Maybe two hats and a…

Ravello

Bymichelle February 5, 2014August 3, 2022

This has been a long time coming.  Ravello, gifted to me by Isabell Kraemer (Thank you, Isabell!), is the perfect lightweight, weekend sweater.  Let me prove it: it has stripes, is lightweight,…

Bymichelle February 3, 2014August 3, 2022
