Apparently, we are casting on all the things...


Casting on a blanket for me this time!  I still have enough yarn for a third blanket! I'm missing a few of the colors, yet perhaps I can find them on eBay!

Making this for Liz, as she will be in the Seattle Women's March 2017. Using this pink hand spun that I bought at Ft Worden a few years ago. Using the KitKat Hat pattern so I can knit in the round!

Fabulously Bright!


Check out this fabulous neon yarn from my pal @skyhag!  This bright and cheery yarn is in exchange for a 1950's vintage copy of Vogue knitting at Fort Worden this year.  I love these colors!!!

Thanks to the Healthy Knitter for this creative inspiration (and pattern) so we can #knitforpeace #peaceproject #peaceproject2016 together.  I have not completed this cowl yet, but I have high hopes to be done before the new year!  As you can see, Charlie likes this cowl too!

Delivered 16 Teen Hats today!


...and one toddler hat too!  Felt so great to deliver Teen hats to the Issaquah Holiday Gift Barn for the clients of the Issaquah Food and Clothing Bank. Charity knitting is a great way to #payitforward and the Issaquah Food and Clothing Bank does a great job for their clients. Looking forward to knitting #17hatsin2017 next year!
