Knitting

The first of my “Bolero Period”

February 20, 2018 by Tasha 19 Comments

I'm happy to share some knitting with you today, and it's the first of what I'm going to jokingly refer to as my "Bolero Period". I started this bolero in early November after Rhinebeck, and I only finished knitting it the first week of February. I mean for a small bolero, that's basically ridiculous for me. Granted, I did knit my large red Autumn Leaves scarf in the meantime, but I think that only took me two or three ... Read more »

Autumn Leaves in the snow

January 16, 2018 by Tasha 18 Comments

I am picky about my reds. Really picky. In fact, the main reason red doesn't appear in my wardrobe more often is my pickiness. I like a bright, true red. Not maroon, not burgundy, not fuchsia, not garnet. Red. It's hard to vintage in vintage clothes, it's hard to find in fabric, and it can be hard to find in yarn, too. Instagram stories is my new favorite thing, and it was through a quest to find a perfect "Tasha" red ... Read more »

Grab and go knitting: an Angel Face turban

November 14, 2017 by Tasha 11 Comments

Friends, ooh friends, am I ever behind. I'm behind but I have something small and fun to share nonetheless. I'm so behind that I'm sharing a minor knitting project after not even yet sharing one of the most monumental pieces of knitting I've ever done, in time to wear at Rhinebeck (the New York Sheep and Wool Festival) last month. Following me on Instagram or Ravelry? Then you'll know about that mystery project ... Read more »

I knit a cardigan. Twice.

April 5, 2017 by Tasha 12 Comments

Initially when I knew I was going to post a worsted weight sweater project in early April, I kind of thought I'd have to make a joke about how it was growing too warm to wear it. Hahahahaha. As if. Oh April, how I always forget your disgusting weather ways every year. You'd think I would remember this being an April baby, as I never get nice weather on my birthday (which is coming up next week!). There's some good news ... Read more »

Princess Harald stranded pullover

March 21, 2017 by Tasha 24 Comments

Today I'm happy to share with you a pullover that I finished... I have no idea when. January? Maybe. Long enough ago to get to enjoy wearing it this winter, I can tell you that that much. So I realized I'd better show it to you quickly since the first day of spring has officially passed (woo hoo!). (Shown here with my Western-inspired Ginger jeans) I started it way back in October. In fact, it was vacation knitting. ... Read more »

Swatching my next winter pullover

December 20, 2016 by Tasha 9 Comments

It comes that time again when a knitter must swatch for the next project! I need a new sweater to start when we go to my mom and step-dad's for Christmas. I haven't actually finished my current project. You saw a glimpse of it in this post. It's a long-bodied shaped pullover with a small, allover stranded pattern. I'm knitting that one in DK weight Rauma Strikkegarn yarn. Which I have fallen head over heels with, by ... Read more »
