A couple of weeks ago, I finished knitting and mailed off the birthday presents for my friend, Barb and her eldest daughter. I made the Mountain Path Socks for Barb using 1 skein of my Merino Single Ply Fingering yarn in the Marmalade colourway. I knit the first sock back in June when I was test knitting the pattern and then I put them aside while I moved on to more urgent projects. My friend, Barb, loves hand-knit socks so when I was deciding...

Kari Verge, who co-hosts the TwoTangledSkein podcast, released the Mountain Path Socks last Sunday. She designed these socks using a skein of my sock yarn in the Mountain Top At Dusk colourway (shown on pattern page) that I had donated to the podcast to review last fall. This is the first relased pattern that was designed using a skein of my yarn. I volunteered to test knit this pattern for Kari. I decided to test out both the medium and large...

After recently finishing knitting a large wrap in laceweight in a pattern that included lots of nupps, I was in the mood to knit some simple garter stitch lace. I remembered seeing a shawl that would fit the bill in one of my Jane Austen Knits magazines. I found the Margaret Dashwood Shawl in the Summer 2012 issue and I decided it was exactly what I was looking for. I went looking in my stash and I found some skeins of Noro Silk Garden Sock...

I have almost finished knitting my planned Christmas (belated now) gifts for my friend B. and her family. I have finished and blocked the lap blanklets for her two daughters. I used the Hourglass Throw pattern by Anne Hanson for each but I knit it with my BFL DK as I wanted something a bit smaller. I used 4 skeins with 1 less repeat wide for the orange one (colourway – Orange Julius) for the younger girl. I used 5 skeins for the...

I have finished two more items and I have two more items currently on the needles. First completed item is the 2luvcrew socks from the book Socktopus by Alice Yu (great book – I highly recommend it). I knit these socks using my Cash Sock yarn in the Autumn Glory with quite a bit of yarn leftover (28 g). The second completed item is another Wrapped Ribs Cowl (pattern by Natalie Servant). This time I knit it out of MadelineTosh Merino...

Thank you Kari and Sue for the great review of my sock...
