This week I made time to work on my Cliffs of Moher needle felt a couple times. Over the weekend, I started in on the cliffs, working from the one furthest away towards the closest ones. I also started adding in some of the white waves hitting the shoreline. Here… Read More »Constructing Cliffs
Over the weekend I finished up the main blanket, creating a neat square from all the trapezoids and triangles. I’d used up every scrap of rainbow yarn (and had to patch in some blue and orange to fill out the last rainbow shapes) and weighed out the remaining orange and… Read More »Well the knitting part is done
On Saturday, the last two months of my Clan of Igor subscription from Undercover Otter arrived. They were dyed and shipped together due to some challenges in getting the yarn sourced for November – it was going to be late. Thanks pandemic.

Late last week I did finally get to have a go at one of the Knit Stars classes. I opted to start with the modular knitting by Tina Tse. It seemed like I could dive right in, and that the nature of the project would be conducive to knitting while… Read More »Why start easy?
I took off Thursday and Friday this week so I could watch and work on some of the Knit Stars classes, and work on felting. And then Tuesday night… I wrenched my right hand, spraining the tendons on the back on my hand where they connect to the wrist. And…… Read More »Such bad timing
This past Tuesday was election day in the US, as pretty much the whole world knows. I am relieved to see that Biden is the projected winner at this point. A (much much) smaller personal victory also occurred Tuesday: I placed the last bead on the edge of my shawl.… Read More »Placed my last bead
