This is not my first rodeo with the squishy garter stripe idea, but each time I’ve improvised one, I’ve changed it up in some way.

TWiP: Of Knits and Trips

Is there any color more peaceful and contented than this minty green / vintagey aqua color? No. No there is not.

Between waiting for special yarn to arrive and then indecision once it got here, it’s been a very angsty week.

I’m in between big projects at the moment, and this week I’ve found myself drifting from one small thing to another, unable to commit to anything substantial. I knit a shawlette/scarf, I tried weaving on a pin loom, and I dabbled in resin jewelry. That’s more variety than I’m used to in one week!
