Yarn: Mission Falls 1824 Cotton Pattern: Soft Drawstring Pouch by Joelle Hoverson Notes: Really only loosely based on this pattern; I cast on half the stitches called for to make a very small sack and other than that followed the instructions. It’s still kind of too big but I needed something for my soap scraps, the bathroom [...]
Yarn: HaldeCraft HandDyed in Chocolate Covered Cherries Pattern: Yoga/Dance Socks by Charlene Schurch and Beth Parrott Notes: These took, like, NO time!
Yarn: Briar Rose Wistful and HaldeCraft HandDyed in “None of your Beeswax” Pattern: Mostly the EZ percentage system for a pullover, but also a few touches made up as I went along (like a picot bindoff, double rolled collar, hemmed sleeves and bottom.

Meh. The [...]
Yarn: String Theory Colorworks Resonance Self Striping in “Fermentation” Pattern: Fissility by Lorena Haldeman Notes: worn for the first time on Christmas Day!
If you’re in a reader, you probably won’t see the photos just above this sentence. Go ahead! Click on over! I won’t bite! Some of these were just finished in the last week or so, and haven’t been blogged yet — expect details on them in the coming weeks. This also made me curious about [...]
Yarn: Fiesta Yarns Boomerang in “Sedona” Pattern: Roll-Top Bootees by Zoë Mellor Notes: goes with the Not a Placket Pullover; made for my friend’s baby who is thankfully garganutan, meaning that the things I knitted and fretted over that they had turned out too large… fit fine.
Yarn: Mind’s Eye Yarns, from the March 2011 sock club Pattern: Kaiso by Judy Sumner
