Mystery Knit-a-Long! Mystery! Mystery! (Well, I do know it’s a shawl.)

Posted on January 12, 2014 by The International Knitter of Mystery

Tomorrow is the start of Ysolda Teague’s “Follow Your Arrow” mystery shawl knit-a-long. I don’t usually do mystery knit-a-longs as I have such limited knitting time and such a huge Ravelry queue that spending time knitting I-know-not-what doesn’t usually appeal. For … Continue reading →

What with all the moving and changing jobs and whatnot, I forgot to blog. Or, I knit so little I had nothing to blog about. I am still working on Bigger on the Inside. I’ve finished the top lace section … Continue reading →

Obviously, my priorities are in order

Posted on July 9, 2012 by The International Knitter of Mystery

I am in the home stretch of The Sweater That Would Not Be Finished. I have one sleeve-and-side seam to complete. The burning question comes to mind: what next? I have SO MANY choices. I could finish a few other … Continue reading →

It’s a Mystery (KAL)

Posted on January 30, 2012 by The International Knitter of Mystery

I am knitting, and I have no idea what I’m knitting. Well, I’m pretty sure it’s not socks. And the whole project takes only 400 yards of fingering weight yarn. But beyond that, I have no idea. I had this: … Continue reading →

S is for Swap

Posted on January 18, 2012 by The International Knitter of Mystery

Ravelry has many, many different discussion boards, practically one for any interest you can name. If there isn’t one, you can start it. Several of the groups I belong to periodically put together swaps. These are delightful arrangements in which … Continue reading →
