I deleted the original “Forever Knitting” post accidentally (on my iPad, in the morning, when I was sleepy) so for record keeping’s sake, I’ll write it again. Different this time. My favorite knitting store Little Knits (in Seattle) makes my knitting heart sing. Brown Sheep is my favorite wool and has been since the old …

Some Knitty Stuff
I used all soft and kind-to-the skin fibers for a random cowl. It was so nice to knit, such good clicking. I used a cowl pattern to begin but then shifted to y/o around the top and bottom with varied yarns for stripes. I had some acrylic stuff to add to some of the lighter …
A Few Knits
Isn’t this little “prayer square” a nice quick project? I think I’ll make the next one from wool. Cotton is a bit thick. Timothy gets so tired. LOL! He’s so cute when he curls up. He does not bother my knitting. Yay! I finished the clown vest that started out as a sweater but the …
A Mitt Made
One lovely mitt finished. I changed it up and went for a bulky pattern to use with my favorite wool – Lamb’s Pride. I have been too busy sewing costumes (just three – two jackets, two skirts, a pair of pants and a vest) and doing my Community Bible Study lesson and planning for the …
Fruit and Wool
Soft fruits, stone fruits, are juicy and inviting at this time of the year. My neighbor gave me plums and I messed up the jam. Sadness. I’ll try again. I bought plumcots at Trader Joe’s. I’m not sure why we would find it necessary to tamper with the gorgeousness of the apricot, but they are …
Hello Teddy Bear
Teddy is sewn together and stuffed. His arms are funny (stuck on him in a funny way) but oh well. His overalls are coming along, taking a lot longer than I thought they would. His face is precious. I like him already. When I went to buy more wool for the loopy sheep I’m making, …
A Sock and New Wool
A sock finished one and a half years after I started it (Christmas Eve 2017). It languished in a bag and the needles came out a few times thus the bumpy stitches. The wool wasn’t a great choice, but IT FITS really well, so yay! I did order the watermelon smoothie Lambs Pride wool and …
Small Knitting
Instead of casting on another pair of socks I dug around for this WIP. I started out with Little Bobbins Knits Twas the Night Before Christmas pattern (an excellent pattern!) but I didn’t want to make trees on the leg so I created purl rounds instead. I really like the twisted ribbing and the way …
Outside
A bumblebee was having quite a snoop in the wild thistles on my walking path. I’m comforted that I find so many bees around. Here is a green canopy for all who pass by. And a place to make a fort. Living on the edge of a big city I’m ever grateful for the open …
Summer Knitting Thoughts
This morning I walked what I call The Ridge. It’s really just an open space with a path. No cars. Yay. I try to imagine the cold weather of Colorado that will descend in a few months time and I pretend I’ll want to take walks outdoors then. I will want to wear my wool …
