Halfway There
Almost half done with my sons afghan. The colors make me think of the lake on a stormy day. I will keep plugging away and it will be finished eventually. Hopefully sooner rather than later..
Fair Isle Mittens

Swatches Two
As you can guess, I didn’t do any blocking. I decided to swatch some more instead. I finished the increase and decrease swatches, also the three eyelet swatches. I have no excuse to delay blocking any longer. I guess I … Continue reading
First Swatches
The first swatches for my master knitting certification are ready to wash and block. Looks like my seed stitch can use some work, but I think I will see if blocking will improve it. At least it is only a … Continue reading
