New cast on alert!
Started working on my Shifty sweater. It’s been over a year since I planned to make this sweater. So it feels really good to cast it on. Lucky for me the yarn is from Michaels, all in all pretty cheap. Which helps me not feel guilty for letting it sit on the shelf for so long.
I am excited to see this sweater unfold. I didn’t plan out the colors, I am just going to knit and see what happens!

This thing is getting way to close to blanket size. I can hardly shove it under my coffee table when I am not working on it.
I think it actually might end up being a snuggle shawl, rather then a wear outside one. It is just really bulky. Not that I am against it, I just want to hurry up and finish this before the weather gets too hot!
I am almost there, my giant yarn skeins are slowly getting smaller.
Making good progress on my Nightshift shawl! It is so chunky and fun to knit. Glad to have a comfy project to work on, since my other shawl is a bit of a headache.

Can I please get a round of applause for finally finishing my What the Fade shawl? This thing took me close to six months to complete. Thanks to a rain day and being called off work, I spent an awful lot of time casting off and rewatching Stranger Things. It was hard to finish this project, I really enjoyed having something mindless to work on. But man, the endless knitting was well worth it! I can’t believe how much I love this. There were many times during the process where I had to stop and question if this shawl would actually be useful. Boy, was I ever wrong.
I think casting this off right as Fall arrived was impeccable timing. It is the perfect size for either a cozy scarf, a nice wrap, or in tough times a fabulous blanket.

With all my recent travel you think I would have gotten further with this shawl. I only just started the garter section on my What the Fade by Andrea Mowry. Regardless, I am loving how this is coming together. My niece is really excited to see what it looks like when I’m finished. She insisted I send her photos.
Moving across the world doesn’t mean you need to sacrifice knitting something awesome!
Totally obsessed with my Stranger Things What the Fade by Andrea Mowry. I love how this bad boy is knitting up. I won’t have enough yarn to make a full shawl, but no worries. I think the I think the mix of stripes and fade are going to be fabulous. Plus, this is going to be such a good travel project. I look forward to making some good progress in the next twenty four hours!
Here it is: my no-so-faded So Faded Sweater by Andrea Mowry.
Because of terrible weather, work, and the holiday, it has taken me a while to share this. I finished this sweater about two weeks ago now. I have to say, this is going to be one of my favorite knit pieces. It is so comfortable, and wearable! I really, really love it.
Despite a few mistakes, and a small terrifying incident while blocking, it all came together to make a pretty unique sweater. Even with people all over the world knitting up this sweater, this one, with all its quirks, is mine.

Still stitching away at this sweater. Cast off the bottom and moved onto the sleeves. Which I have torn out and restarted twice. I started by dropping a stitch :( I really wanted to do the sleeves in all garter stitch, but I was really struggling with laddering while working on DPNs. So I switched to a pair of 9″ circulars that my friend lent me. I still struggle with all those purl stitches. That led to the second frogging. But I am back to just the knit stitch, and things seems to be moving along so much faster.
