Posted on June 21, 2012 by Julianna

I started this shawl on a Wednesday and finished it on Sunday.  That’s right, it took less than one week to knit.  The combination of a few different simple lace charts and larger yarn and needles really made quick work … Continue reading →

Purple Socks

Posted on April 28, 2012 by Julianna

My knitting hasn’t been working out, lately.  It’s not that I haven’t been knitting, it’s just that my projects haven’t been turning out the way I want them to.  The choices I’ve been making matching patterns to yarn haven’t been … Continue reading →
