(Topic: Knitting) Hi Friends! Yet another update on how the shawl is progressing. Well, I completed the body of the shawl and have moved on to the edging. The edging is made up of 30 (!) leaves, each knitted alongside and connecting to the body of the shawl, along the outside (not the neck) edge.

WIP Green Leafy Shawl part 2
(Topic: Knitting) Dear Friends, Bit by bit! My time for knitting comes in awkward chunks right now, so my work progresses in fits and starts. That said, I’ve managed to finish the body of my shawl! Knitting in the car. The stitch markers are every time I turn before the end of a row, leaving
WIP Leafy Shawl
(Topic: Knitting) Hi Friends, A year ago, at a professional conference I attend, a colleague of mine let me know that there was a small yarn shop within walking distance of the hotel – and that she’d be taking me there the next day at lunch. Oh dear, oh woe, what hardship! (joking) I ended

Sontag Wrap
(Topic: Knitting, History) Hi Friends! Recently having finished a lot of baby stuff, I decided it was time to reach for some of my UFOs (UnFinished Objects) and get a few things done that have been lying around my project area for a while! One of the projects I had half-done is called a “Sontag”

Beautiful Green Baby Blanket
Dear Friends, Recently one of my sisters was working on a baby blanket, for me to donate in the group I knit with (the blankets go to the local NICU). She asked me to do the edging, and I wanted to show you have the final product turned out! Yours, Sarah To subscribe, find the
