So, I haven’t shown y’all a lot of what I’ve been doing of late and I think that it’s about time that I rectified that. First off, I finished the cabled embrace scarf. It turned out nicely but I was just sooooo glad for it to be done already! It wasn’t difficult once you …
One of the things that has been “made” recently has been a Knitpicks/Knitpro case for my Symfonie wood and Nova interchangeable circular needle set as well as for the DPNs. The set came with a nasty vinyl case that stuck together and smelled funny and was sort of hard to find anything in and was …

you see these everywhere, and a few of these too. Thursday I spent most of the day wandering the streets of Edinburgh. And of course I wouldn’t be me if I didn’t hunt down a few yarn shops! The first one that I went to was called K1Yarns. They had a ton of interesting, …
So, I am now going to show-and-tell so to speak. So this will probably be another pretty picture heavy post. If you have slow Internet connection, I apologize in advance. This will take a while….. So, first off, I promised pictures of my glove/mitten hybrid. They are 100% alpaca and were hand …
