Fair-isle Friday! Epistropheid I and II

I know I posted a finished object post about my first Epistropheid on Saturday BUT it wasn't really complete.

Know why?
Because it was missing the most amazing PomPom ever.


We all know my love of PomPoms. If you need a review you can venture back to 2015 when I made 75 assorted PomPoms for a little girls birthday present. Operation PomPom was amazing.


Or the year I couldn't remember where I put my Christmas Decorations so I went to Michaels and bought a PomPom maker and decorated my tree that way.

This PomPom is not made of yarn.
*It's fur PomPom.

Its fluffy and lovely and perfection on the top of my first Epistropheid.
I started a second Epistropheid.

I ordered a matching PomPom for that as well.

This pattern is fun.



It comes out beautifully.
I highly recommend it especially if you are just getting into fairisle knitting and the idea of handling multiple colors in a project is overwhelming. Epistropheid calls for two colors.

Not overwhelming at all.

My list of fair-isle projects for the year keeps growing and growing. So Fair-isle Friday will probably be a thing for a while.

Which might become overwhelming.

Happy Friday Ya'll

Side note: As I continue on my journey of healing, self-care, growth and life I will be making some what I hope to be amazing changes to the blog. The focus might shift a wee bit. Not away from the knitting but focusing more on why I knit, maybe a little less of a rambling. I'm going twofold with the blog; to share why I love to knit and as a therapy tool for myself. I hope you will continue this journey with me and I hope you enjoy it.

*Yes it's a real fur PomPom. I have received a few not so nice comments about it being a real fur PomPom on a very public forum. I respect everyones right to their own opinion on things but please don't use your opinion for harm.


Side-Side Note: With the chaos, pain, healing, pain, growth and adventure of the past two years. Two things are my steady rock in a crazy river. My husband and Phoebe. The calm in my storm. The joy in my heart. Phoebe is doing great by the way. She has come so far from the damaged soul we brought home. We just love her to bits.

SSYC... My First Official Yarn Crawl...

It's true... I've never actually participated in a yarn crawl or LYS tour. When I worked at So Much Yarn I had the pleasure of working the weekend of the LYS Tour but I've never done it. Well, the SSYC, South Sound Yarn Crawl covers 9 shops that aren't included for whatever reason in the Seattle LYS Tour that covers around 25 shops in the area. Maybe they're too far off the beaten path. It's not because they aren't in Seattle because there are shops way way way out of town that are included in the Seattle LYS tour. Whatever the reason, it's not important. What is important is that Mary and I both took Friday off and hit the road. I caught the 7:15 Ferry to Kingston, Arrived at Mary's about 8:00. Mary and I have the same china. Mine came from my Grandmother, her's came from her mom. Tried making friends with her fluffy dog Mae. Someday she'll come to love me, for now I'll respect her tenative personality and love her fro...

The 'To-Do' list...

and by 'to-do' list I mean 'to-knit' list. I'm really really trying to get on track with this list and stay deeply focused. It has helped that I have successfully removed all yarn from the living room and into Mr. Brown's Yarn shop on the second floor. Except for the fact that I went in there the other day with a shopping bag and loaded up. Currently in the sidelines to be finished 1. Ledge Trail Vest 2. Twiggy for me 3. 70 Yard Mitt for my other hand Finished those bad boys last night! this is what happens when you use the 10s burst hands free option on your iphone and you're holding said phone with your chinny chin chin. On the List: 1. Twiggy for a Christmas gift 2. Iris the Gourmet Monster but since it's for a boy I'm calling it Orvil. 3. Great White Shart Shark 4. Bosco - for me 5. Stillhouse Vest - for me 6. Woodsy - for me 7. Three Seahawk themed hats as gifts. 8. Gifts for friends... and on and on and on If you...

Happy Birthday Mom!

I know I know, I'm a couple days early but I wanted to make sure you saw it before you sailed off to the deep blue sea... Literally. I've been thinking for a few days on what I would write for you on your birthday. How to best express just how amazing you are and how amazing it is that I got you for my mom. You've given me so much in my life that I am grateful for, that to try and put it into words would take a lifetime. I love the time we spend together. I love the way we laugh together. We've come so far and our adventures aren't over yet. I love you mom. Happy Birthday
