Now that my knitting mojo has been back, I wanted to jump into a bigger than normal (for me at least) project. I have a lot of sweater-quantities of yarn in my stash and a lot of sweater patterns in my Ravelry queue, but I’ve never really knit many sweaters. I’ve always thought of myself […]

The Summer of Socks knit-along has already been in progress for a few weeks, and I’ve only just started my first pair of SOS socks. I was actually holding off, trying to finish my 9 to 5 socks before starting a pair for SOS, but with a good portion of SOS already over, I […]

Its been a long time with no posts here at Across the Knitterverse. I’m hoping to make up for that with a few FO and general update posts, and then after that I will try harder to post at least once a week.
First up we have a new finished object — one that was […]

Time for a Maryland Sheep and Wool recap…better late than never. A little peek into the bag I brought home…
A few weeks ago I went to the Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival with Kelly and Aileen. I had gone once before, Aileen had gone a few times, and Kelly had never gone before. […]

Today is my birthday.
And this weekend is the Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival.
I originally wasn’t planning to go, but last weekend Kelly and Aileen asked if I would want to come along with them, so we plan to go tomorrow. I’ve been pretty bad about sticking to any kind of a yarn-diet lately (curse […]

Monkey Socks that is… (I’m excited to finally have an excuse to use that Beatles song as a blog post title!)
Last weekend, after finishing the Peacock Plume socks, I wanted to start a new pair of socks. Over the past year I’ve accumulated sock yarn much faster than I’ve knit socks (more about […]

I’m in love with everything about my newest project. (Not that I really need a new project, but I couldn’t help myself.)
The color and softness of the yarn…Malabrigo Lace in the Velvet Grapes colorway. This is one of those yarns that gets progressively better. Nice in a skein, very pretty wound into […]

I’m coming in for the home stretch with the Lace Chuppah (8 more rows of knitting, a crochet bind-off, and then fringe-fringe-fringe) so I’m starting to let my mind wander to what projects I might start once the knitting portion of the chuppah project is finished.
Back in January, The Black Sheep Yarn Shop had a […]

I forgot to do my weekly yarn post last week, so I’ll make up for it by posting the yarn AND the new project I’ve started knitting with it.
The main color is kind of a subdued turquoise with some lighter blue-green and a little bit of gray mixed in. The yarn is a merino/bamboo/nylon […]

I think it may be time for a bit of a yarn diet.
I’ve been adding yarn to my stash at a much higher rate than I am finishing projects. While that can be a lot of fun, its also started making me sad. There are so many things I want to knit and […]
