FO Friday – Little Witch!

I finished the first of what will likely become several little witches along with her cat:

The pattern is the Little Witch Charm Set by Susan B. Anderson. The yarn is random yarn scraps from the scrap bin. I may try to replace the knitted broom with a stick with yarn bristles or similar. It’s a pretty bendy broom. Also, the little cat is not proportional. It’s like a Norwegian forest cat or a Maine coon or something. I may try knitting fewer rows for the head and body parts of the next ones – we shall see. I do like these patterns anyway – they are cute and work up very quickly! I made these as part of a Stitch Along for Yarn Ghouls a knitting and weirdness podcast that I do with Alissa of Snakes& Cranes. The SAL is open to any type of Halloween-related project you’d like to do!

What are you working on, and how is it going?

Almost to Spring!

Image
It’s that time of year again where we are aaaaalmost, but not entirely, to spring. I’m itching to get some veggies and flowers planted, but we aren’t quite there yet. It’s still hovering around freezing a few nights a week, so we wait. In the meantime though: We did get a few hanging baskets for the front porch just to get a little color going! We have to bring them in some nights, but it’s worth it. How about where you are? Has spring sprung, or are you waiting too?

Melville is Done!

Image
At very long last, my Melville pullover is finished! Forgive the terrible indoor nighttime photos. I have been challenged to do some theme pics wearing it in some sort of nautical situation, and will share those when it happens. Hopefully within the next couple weeks. The pattern is Melville ( Ravelry link ), designed by Sarabeth Hall. The yarn is Knit Picks Gloss Fingering in Captain (darker color) and Clarity. Despite taking a longish time to knit, it was enjoyable. It fits really nicely, and is soft and cozy to wear. On to the next!

Disco Babushka Done!

Image
My disco babushka is done! Overall, a quick and easy knit, and lots of fun. You could easily do this without the sequins if you are bling-averse, but they are easy and fun to add. The pattern is Dotty Disco by Olga Buraya-Kefelian, and the yarn is Ewetopia’s Silk and Mohair in the color Vintage Jar. I just got the sequins from Amazon, and they worked fine. I have also been working a lot on a Christmas present project that I cannot share quite yet. However, we are going on a few holiday adventures in the near future, so should have something to share. I am working on catching up with blog reading – so sorry to have fallen behind on reading everyone’s posts! How are you all doing? What are you working on right now?
