Knitting ~ Crafting ~ Life ~ With an Eco Twist
People have been going nuts about the uber long graduations of Scheepjes Whirls and what you can make with them. So much so I’ve finally succumbed and started knitting one up into a shawl. My pattern of choice for this being a Stormy Sky Shawl, […]

I knit a lot of socks, but I don’t often add patterns or embellishments that I’d designed myself. Over years I’ve refined a pattern which I carry around in my head for a plain sock which usually forms the basis of all the socks I make.

Sometimes the most important thing is to just knit, the garment at the end is an added bonus. That’s exactly the case with this Gothic Night Shawl currently on my needles.
