Three Sketches a Week

Thought it would be nifty to do three sketches per week to see if I could come up with a design or two that I could execute. This is the first attempt using Tahki's Bongo yarn in the olive colorway. I've since blocked it and shortened the tassels a wee bit.
Wore this on a casual Friday at the office, but was terribly self-conscious. Had my inner Flintstone gotten the best of me or was this an OK thing to wear in public? One thing is for sure, I was one warm woman on the way home. The winter wind was merciless!

Alright, there is another finished object waiting in the wings that I would love to post. Only got buttons for it today and haven't taken care of that yet. So tomorrow I must post again...

During the Hiatus...

Many projects were cast on, a bunch were shuffled to the depths of my the WIP bushel bag, and few were finished. Here's one that made it to the recipient before they entered grade school. A dashing cardigan for my new cousin Thurston!

New Year, New Knitting Assistant. Meet Slick Willy

Yes, it's been while since I've posted anything. My new assistant has been delegated various tasks, only he's been no help at all. Well, except he's so darn cute. Guess that's why I'll keep him around.

Ella Fini

Though I haven't posted in a month or so, I've not stopped knitting. Quite the opposite in fact. I am glad to report that on Thanksgiving Day, my Ella was completed and worn for the very first time.

So very pleased that I'm using my recent yarn purchases up right away. In fact, my New Year's resolution is to use up all my stash yarn by June.

Don't laugh. I'm serious. Really.
