I cannot tell you how happy I am to be done with the colorwork. Last night, when I got to the point of having 15 rows left, I told myself I could stop . . 15 rows could easily be done "tomorrow" but then I knew it would be so much better for me to finish it so I stayed up til it was done. I still have to add about 2-1/2" to the top before I start shaping the neck. The unicorn has all kinds ...

Third Time is the Charm
Last night I started Addie's unicorn sweater for the third time. I decided . . she is going to love it. The unicorn seems big and misshapen to me but it has fringe for the mane and it has a puffy looking horn. It's a nicely decorated unicorn so I'm not stressing over whether the color work looks nice or doesn't look nice . . I'm just doing it. Some of it will block out but you can see how ...
The Unicorn Sweater
Just a little over a week ago, 8 days to be exact, my friend, Denise, sent me a link to a unicorn sweater. If I were choosing sweaters for Addie, I probably wouldn't jump on that one but I think she would love it so I had to dig around and try to figure out how to buy the magazine and get it downloaded. Figured that out. Then I had to decide on yarn. The main part of Addie's sweater is ...
Get It Done – Week of November 12, 2018
Let's see if I can do better this week than I did last wee My goals for last week were: Leftovers Cowl: I would like to complete Chart A and Chart B once. That’s 101 rows so if I stick to my plan for 25 rows per day, that should be an easy accomplishment. I got through 27 rows of Chart A . . nothing on Chart B. Linho Pullover: Start the sleeves and get at least one of them done and the ...
This Week’s Knitting Accomplishments
On my knitting list for this week was to finish one sleeve on the Linho Sweater and I did get that done. I've packed that project into a bag to take to MO when I go back. A sleeve wil be nice, mindless and quite boring to work on while there. There are so many things I want to get done between now and Christmas and this sleeve isn't a priority. Also on the knitting list was to get ...
October, 2018 Knitting Report
This morning, for some crazy reason, the first thing I thought about was that I had not done an October knitting report. I like having these done so I can go back and see what I've finished. I was thinking . . maybe in 2019, I'll add a box to the sidebar where I can keep a list of finished projects and maybe one for started projects. That sounds reasonable now, while I'm thinking I'll be so ...
