Hey, I’ve been knitting. Surprise! I have been in slump, it happens when the weather starts getting really hot. I didn’t finish a damn thing in April, knitting blahs. However, I did finish my Lush and Lacy Cardigan (rav link) in May.
I think it turned out pretty good, even if the pictures [...]

So I’m behind here, again. I really am going to try harder. So let me start with a recap of my January and February knitting (yep it’s still mostly knitting around here, but look out).
In January I only finished 2 things:

In February I only finished a vest/cardigan thing that found [...]

First, I finished Ella’s B, which I already blabbered about enough.

Then I finished [...]

First, I traded my Araucania Nature Cotton (in purple) for sock yarn (enough for 3 socks).

I have sent the Wildfoote off to another knitter as a random act of kindness (RAOK), I feel lucky to be able to buy [...]

So. I finally totally finished Ella’s blanket. I’m very disappointed in how this project turned out. It’s a little sad because I put so much into that project and I basically didn’t really think the use of cotton + wool together through. I also got lazy at the end and threw [...]

I finished Ella’s B! YES, before she turned 2. That’s big, right? I’ll post pics later. I need to wash and block because seaming really stretched out the cotton squares. I’m hoping a wash and block will bring them to heel. So I don’t see little Ms. Ella dragging [...]
