Medallion hat using Jimmy Beans Big Beanie Bag – April 2017
I’ve actually *just* as of September cancelled my Big Beanie Bag subscription, because I’m anticipating a busy fall and my projects have piled up to the point where I need a break. Still, I have managed to knit some of them up! April’s Bag looked like this: And here’s a photo summary of what I…

Glitz Shawl
It’s February, so clearly it’s time to start breaking out the posts about Christmas gifts that I made. I always think I’m going to prep the posts in advance so they run in January, but then life happens. This year it was a trip to India that took prep time in January and then a…

Complete Cardigan!
Remember this cardigan I started back in March? I almost made the Cardipalooza deadline in May, but abandoned it a bit shy of the deadline when I ran into problems and decided it would be better to take a break than to try to push for a deadline. I picked it up again now that…

Triangle Hat
I bought some mini skeins from Knitted Wit to make a hat, but then the pattern that I was sure I had didn’t seem to exist in my pattern collection, so I made it up as I went and this is the result.

Neapolitan Scarflette – Jimmy Beans Big Beanie Bag: August 2016
I’ve been really enjoying Jimmy Beans Big Beanie Bags, but I haven’t been so good about photographing my projects for both happy and sad reasons I won’t go into right now. But despite my lack of documentation, these are great! These are like the grown-up cousin to their little yarn sample bags: more yarn, projects…

Starry Stole
This was actually my first beaded knitting project, and it’s a miracle it wasn’t my last, as it called for threading hundreds of beads (700 the pattern said!) on beautiful laceweight wool. It took me 5 years to finish. Well, okay, I can’t be sure it was 5 years, because I didn’t actually put this…

Craftsman Shawl
This shawl is another part of my fall finishing spree, which was inspired by someone in one of my online groups asking how many WIPs I had. I took stock, then finished this one before posting my answer (which is probably cheating) and then started in on the gloves and another one I’ll post soon.…

Grey gloves (Phase 1)
I’ve been on a bit of a finishing spree, pulling out older projects. This one technically isn’t finished yet, since I’ll be putting a finger cover to make them convertible gloves, but since I gave them to J to try out in case it’s cool while he’s traveling east I figure they’re finished for now!…

Yarn of the Month Club, July 2015
Hello my poor neglected maker blog, long time no see! It’s been a busy few months, in good ways, in bad ways, in sad ways. But I have been making things, and maybe I’ll eventually take pictures of my wedding dress and maybe I’ll eventually frog that section of the cardi that wasn’t right and…

The continuing cardi story…
The cardipalooza cardi is still coming! It’s been a month and I’ve been knitting it while reading weird gardening texts: #gardeningproblems A photo posted by Terri Oda (@drterriko) on Mar 25, 2016 at 10:45pm PDT While enjoying my actual garden: Late afternoon knitting and tea time ☕ Glad to be done work before the sun…

Strawberry gloves
My other goal for 2015 was to try some more stranded colourwork that wasn’t double-knitting. I had intended to do more simple stuff, but I fell in love with this pattern and you know how it goes from there. The pattern is Strawberry Fields by Jami Brynildson. It was one of the shop patterns offered…

A sweater for me (just started!)
One of my goals for 2015 was to knit an adult-sized sweater, but I cheated a bit and made one for my sister (who’s smaller than I and one of the smaller adults I know). So I revised my goal for 2016 and here’s the start of something cool, I hope: That’s the swatch for…
