    Kinton Tee

    Bymichelle May 30, 2017August 6, 2022

    My daughter and I took a little day trip to Galveston as, sort of, an in-case-you-move-soon thing.  I didn’t want the summer to get away from us and miss an…

    Lace and Variegated

    Bymichelle May 11, 2017August 6, 2022

    I have several one or two skein sets of variegated yarn that I’m not quite sure how to use.  I know I can always do socks, but I am pretty…

    Bymichelle May 9, 2017August 6, 2022

    This is my written ode to the trees that keep me sane.  How I have missed you!  Come to mama. I need to be out of doors.  Truly.  It was…

    Knot Tyer and Proud of It

    Bymichelle May 4, 2017August 6, 2022

    Is it tier or tyer?  Whatever.  I wanted to post my progress on my Waterrock vest and Kinton tee, both by Jennifer Kelley of Appalachian Knits, but you’ll have to…

    Triple Dip

    Bymichelle April 12, 2017August 6, 2022

    The Tops Tanks and Tees Knit-along surprised me this year.  I already had a summer-weight sweater going so I’m jumping in with a WIP this year.  I don’t usually do…

    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…

    Baby Granny Stripe Blanket

    Bymichelle March 29, 2017August 6, 2022

    I guess I can post this blanket now that it’s been gifted and the recipient has been born.  It made me so happy to think of the loving home she…

    Feyre

    Bymichelle March 22, 2017August 6, 2022

    I could knit Feyre again.  And again.  It was that satisfying.  I was imitating the sample, knit in Brooklyn Tweed’s Newsprint.  I think the Patons Classic Aran and Dark Grey Marl…

    Julia Sweater

    Bymichelle March 21, 2017August 6, 2022

    I don’t know what happened.  I slipped this big sweater over my head and next thing I knew it was like the last 26 years were a dream.  What?  I’m…

    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…
