I’m discovering that felted bowls are great for using up novelty yarn that you bought because you loved it, but never found a practical use for. This one is one strand of Knitpicks Sierra in Wild Rose, knit together in two places with two strands of a fuzzy boucle JoAnn Sensations yarn that I think [...]

I’m working on a pattern for a felted bowl, which I plan to post here when it’s done.

Right now my two main projects are for myself. I’m trying to have at least two more sweaters for rainy season.

and Rebecca Rosen’s Fur Trimmed Hoodie from Knit.1 magazine, using Lion [...]

You can’t do it. That’s what I’ve decided. I started knitting a cardigan for Lawrence a few months ago in denim yarn. He’s almost 4, but he’s tall, so I aimed for size 6-8. I finished the back and started one side and realized it’s going to be too short before I even finish it. [...]
