WIP Wednesday: Squaring and Frogging Off

by Athena // September 18, 2013 // 4 Comments
Just an update on one of the two leftover sock yarn blankets I’ve been working on. I’ve been working on this current square on and off the last week as I’ve been too busy to knit much. I started working... Continue reading →

WIP Wednesday: Child’s First Sock in Shell Pattern

by Athena // August 14, 2013 // 2 Comments
These socks were started near the beginning of summer on July 1st. It feels like time has flown by since then. I’ve been very busy and preoccupied to sit and knit. I need to finish these by the end of... Continue reading →

WIP Wednesdays: Welsh Country Stockings

by Athena // April 17, 2013 // 8 Comments
It’s been awhile since I put up a WIP post, and I almost forgot about it. Since April 1st, I’ve been working on the Welsh Country Stockings by Nancy Bush from Folk Socks: Nancy Bush is still my favourite sock... Continue reading →

WIP Wednesdays: Frogging Paris

by Athena // January 2, 2013 // 2 Comments
Happy New Year, everyone! This past week, I decided to frog one of my handknit cardigans. This is not really an actual WIP, but frogging nearly 1000 yards of sport alpaca yarn is a job of a kind. I was... Continue reading →

WIP Wednesday: Paper Totoros

by Athena // October 17, 2012 // 2 Comments
Lately, I have been working on the Paper Dolls pattern by Kate Davies, but I am doing the Totoros variation. I’m using Sandnes Garns Sisu cream, green and dark grey for the Totoros so it will resemble the big one... Continue reading →

WIP Wednesday: Stashbusting Lopi

by Athena // September 12, 2012 // 8 Comments
Last week, my first ever yarn/sock club purchase came in the mail from Hazel Knits Yarn Club. I have been waiting for this package for almost a month. Actually, if you factor in the fact I bought the early bird,... Continue reading →

WIP Wednesday: Never Ending Blanket

by Athena // August 22, 2012 // 12 Comments
Good grief this thing has taken forever. Progress on the blanket that never ends: I am on the first repeat of the penultimate chart G. After finishing this chart twice, it’ll be the edging. This blanket has taken the whole... Continue reading →

WIP Wednesday: Spinning Progress

by Athena // July 25, 2012 // 5 Comments
Last week, I wanted to post a WIP Wednesday, but found I hadn’t progressed very much either in spinning or my knitting. Mostly because this has been the hottest summer in my hometown. We do not have air conditioning so... Continue reading →

WIP Wednesday: Paris

by Athena // May 30, 2012 // 4 Comments
As you can see above, that is not Girasole, I cast on for Veera Välimäki’s Paris this weekend. I was motivated by the Sweater Odyssey Ravelry Group’s Veera knitalong. It’s a great little group, and I had the yarn and... Continue reading →

WIP Wednesday: Girasole

by Athena // May 23, 2012 // 9 Comments
Since the last time I posted a WIP Wednesday, I finished the Garter Yoke Cardigan on April 18th, but I didn’t block it for another three weeks due to weather. This weekend, I finally put the buttons on it and... Continue reading →

WIP Wednesday: Blue Cardi continued

by Athena // April 11, 2012 // 7 Comments
Progress on my blue Garter Yoke Cardigan: I finished one sleeve yesterday. While I was doing the body, I didn’t want the sleeves to take up my remaining yarn so I put the body on hold (it’s beyond the waist... Continue reading →

by Athena // March 21, 2012 // 6 Comments
