Ypp…ee-ki-yi-yay, get along li’l doggies
So the cone of Pendleton yarn is about 2025 yards. The yarn itself is a delightfully fine 3,600 ypp singles. The only WIP I have left on the needles is the Aestlight shawl. I need to finish something with another … Continue reading
The time has come…
Finished a small, quick-to-knit thingy. (If it was quick for me, it’ll be lightning fast for everyone else because I’m very slow.) Was hoping to burn the midnight oil tonight to finish it so I can wear it to knit … Continue reading

Musings
Did I mention that the Cerai cardi is totally finished and that I’ve worn it several times? It is/I have. What else? I’ve worked a bit more on a WIP I’d forgotten about: my second Aestlight. I’m using two strands … Continue reading

My name is Inigo Montoya.
You killed my father. Prepare to die! *swirls tip of sword slowly and deliberately at vile opponent* This is sort of how I felt on the last few rounds of the Sisyphean entrelac hat. I kept chanting, “almost done, just … Continue reading
