All links to Ravelry are labelled as such. I try to include links to outside websites as much as possible. At this time, I am not including links for purchasing yarns, needles, etc. If I do, they will also be appropriately labelled. As a quick reminder: I am not affiliated with any businesses.

I have been AWOL. A little bit. Absent WithOut Leave. I was covering my father’s store while he served on a jury. There were a couple of product launches so I got to immerse myself into nerd-dom anew. So that was nice.
In addition, the show’s Patreon has undergone a couple of changes.

The MHK re-submission is nearly ready to send! The swatches are knit it is only a tiny bit of writing that I need to catch up on.
The ‘Ultimate Koi Pond Meta‘ (ravelry link) socks have been cast on and started for Operation Sock Drawer what! what! This pattern is by Kino Knits.
The ‘Phenomenal‘ sweater is at the point where the sleeve decreases on the back are complete. The vintage pattern measures length by pattern repeats, but I have chosen to disregard that imperative and instead, measure with actual units and against my body.
The ‘Wingspan‘ (ravelry link) swatch has been completed and I have cast on with the ‘Muscadine Grapes’ from the ‘Vinyard‘ gradient kit from Miss Babs.
