I have 3 active projects in the works right now, which is probably too many. However, that happens sometimes k My argyle cardigan is coming right along – the body is done, and I’m about halfway with the sleeves. It’s taking a while because it’s just boring old stockinette. However, I want this thing DONE, so I’m trying to push through. I’m also working on a Yorlin cardi – pattern by Kate Davies, and the yarn is Knit Picks Palette in Cherry. I’m just a few rows away from being able to separate out the sleeves, so the rows are super long right now. But I’m almost there! And finally, I started on Sirdar’s Pumpkin Spice crochet-along ! I definitely did not need this project in the lineup right now, but the blanket is so pretty I couldn’t resist. This first part is kind of boring-looking, but eventually, it will be very autumn-y and beautiful! There’s also a pair of socks in the car right n...

It’s been quite a while since I had a finished object to post, and I’m pretty jazzed about this one! My Megalodon cowl is done! The front and back have this main pattern of a shark framed by meg jaws. And there are shark (or megalodon) teeth on the sides For anybody interested, the pattern is not out yet, but will be in time for shark week! The design is by Mary Hunt of hunthandknits. I used stash yarn from Fangirl Fibers, but if you look for the megalodoncowl# on Instagram, you will see the many beautiful color combinations people are using in their test knits. Now, back to my regularly scheduled knitting!

Behold – the shark appears! The frame around the shark is a big megalodon jaw and a few big shark teeth at the edges. Really enjoying this knit, and if you are looking for some Shark Week knitting, this might be a good one to consider This is a test for a pattern called Megalodon cowl by Mary Hunt. The yarns are stash by Fangirl Fibers from a yarn club years ago, though she might conceivably bring these back for this cowl launch!

It has been a busy couple of weeks! But I have gotten some knitting done in between other things. My argyle cardi is coming along really well. The back and fronts are done as is the button band, and I’m on the sleeves. My Blue and Strawberry moon squares for the full moon afghan are mostly done. The Blue moon square does have stitching on it, but it’s kind of invisible, so I need to work on that. Strawberry moon doesn’t have the moon name or date on it yet. Once those are done, I can put together a row with the Flower moon one. And finally, since I didn’t have enough projects going, I volunteered to test knit the Megalodon cowl pattern, designed by Mary of hunthandknits. It is a very cool pattern, which will be out just in time for Shark Week knitting! I’m about a third of the way done, and it looks very cool already The designer explicitly said she’s fine with people sharing pictures on their socials, otherwise I wouldn...
