PurlSoho- for clear instructions on M1L—I’ve been getting it wrong, not petiteKnitter.

My community: on Reddit, on the ground in the SCV, in this group.

What's On My Hooks and Needles:

Finished:

Nope!

In Progress:

Stash toss 2025 (17 in, 14 out)

Mending March or Making It March. Or Women’s History Month

Blue Iris Blueberry Waffle Socks: forward momentum. On the foot of #1.

Virgo sweater: we’ve divided for sleeves! Working down the body.

Astraeus sweater: Lisa Souza superwash hand-dyed merino in St Louis Blues and Malabrigo Rios in Sunset.

—I have separated for the arms and I’m done the body. On the sleeves.

The 10-square bag:

Doing the sides, all the blocks are joined. Done up the side panels. Thinking of the liner, digging out an old flannel sheet.

Lakeside cardigan : Remaining: 1 set of front on panels, each is 2x2, weaving those ends, attaching, then major remaining seams.

September Sweater: It's crocheted and has been on my Rav projects page for months. 225 to 150 chain. I’m just plodding along on the second large panel that makes up the body.

Quilt squares and organizing—10 more squares done, hooray!—we are at 69 finished so far. 10 more in the early stages.

Dizzy Blondes: temporary halt, due to sinus mess, but spinning the second 4 oz braid of “blackbewwie shadow” from Lisa Souza.

The latest fiber ordered is here! It came with about an ounce of a beautiful cashmere dyed in a dark, reddish berry color. Apparently, this was because Lisa felt that she fulled a little bit of the fiber that I had ordered. Of course, all of it looks perfectly able to be spun easily to me, but it tells you about the quality of Lisa’s work and how conscientious she is.
