One Project at a time….
It’s been a crazy time for knitting this year. Something about the sprained ankle has made my knitting go kablooey! I started this shawl back at the Loopy Spring Fling and have been working on it ever since. No matter what other project I start, nothing gets completed (other than the fun fur shawl I…

Giant Bunny Blanket – Done and Discarded
Stupid crappy yarn keeps breaking… After the third time I realized that it wouldn’t hold up to being played with, so I finished up what I could, took photos and threw it away. OK, that part hurt….

Fuzzy Bunny
Fuzzy Bunny Originally uploaded by Shel Kennon Got through all this while playing Life with the family tonight. Knitting Continental makes it really easy to stop a sec, roll the dice (our spinner is old and yucky so we use a 10-sided dice) and move my car. Jay won, but only by a couple hundred…

Marialis – Day 1
I got quite a bit done on the Marialis scarf (Ravelry link to pattern) last night. I wasn’t so sure about the way the colors were looking after the first 14 rows, but I kept going, trusting that I’ll like it better when it’s further along. I had a couple of times I had to…
