FO – Septima’s Asymmetrical Shawlette
Another Finished Object (FO)! I’ve been waiting awhile to post this so I could link out to the pattern. It’s now up on Ravelry and I am so pleased to show this off! The pattern is Septima’s Asymmetrical Shawlette from Linda Browning, aka tinyknit on Ravelry. She has a lot of awesome patterns for sale and at a pretty low…
FO – Two new hats!
I have been working on my Sockhead Hat since May 13th and finished it yesterday! It quickly became my take-along project while being a passenger in the car, going to appointments, and talking while knitting. I loved working with the Regia Flusi Das Socken Monster yarn (although I understand this particular yarn has been discontinued) in the color 44941 – Partie. It…

FO – Summer 2015 Knitalong Stepping Stones Shawl
I’m so excited that I finally finished this! It’s a beautiful yarn to work with (Artyarns Merino Cloud in Color 904 – Mood Ring) and a stunning free pattern, just for buying the yarn. I learned so much…my first CDD, SSK, short rows, and lace sections. At first, I thought I had taken on too…
Frogging, Lifelines, and Lace! Oh boy!
