I am hoping that this blog will help you and me experience the craft of crochet as well as knitting. During times of silence or turmoil, crochet and knitting continuously help me quiet my mind at my own pace, enabling me to find my center. I am also sharing my SECRET persona, Lt. DAX, my life in code while living in Bajor. Maybe fiction maybe not is up to you to decide. Peldor Joi!!!

Earth And Sky
When I first signed up for this Mystery KAL , I did not know how much fun it was going to be . If there is another one, which there is going to be, I am definitely joining in. I was able to do Intarsia and even dare to finish the project in a way that is not really according to the pattern,m yet it is. This is a medium size shawl and I am very happy with it. The pygora/ BFL blend makes this a very nice choice for this project. I am a loose knitter and blocking will be accomplished by steaming the piece. This is not a hard project and I was able to complete it in 4 weeks, but I am sure I could have done it in one or two. The most difficult area of this pattern is the yarn choices. Thanks You Stephen, you really did a good job! Thanks for stopping by!

The Mystery Shawl came out to be a very interesting shawl indeed. It has various way for you to finishing your shawl and you can come up with your own way. Thanks you Stephen West for a fun KAL. More pictures later as I need to continue my Shawl finishing and weave in the ends, then comes blocking. I am very excited. Thanks for stopping by!

Sahar WIP Chart C
This is the WIP of the Sahar Stole. The yarn is a Knit Picks overspun DK/Sport weight. So far the yarn is really behaving nicely with this pattern. I think hat the lace nature of the pattern will allow the yarn to really relax in a way that will enhance the pattern. Franklin Habit is a mischievous fellow. but oh so clever. If you are using Stitch markers to maker the repetitions, you can still do it on Chart C by minding where your marker should be. What I like about this pattern is that is not boring, it is easy, and it will keep you entertained and mesmerized. I have not dislike anything about this pattern. I will be finishing this half, hopefully this week. I am also working on the West Knits KAL, another mischievous fellow. This is what I know Today , thanks for stopping by.

A Vulcan Sahar , WIP
Today I started the Sahar stole, the link to the pattern follows, Sahar Pattern , from The Panopticon, a friend of mine. Actually we kind of know each other , we have a friendship, we do get along and have a good time together and have things in common, I say we are buddies getting to know each other. He is a very funny guy, that I can tell you. I get to spend time with him at the Men Knitting Retreats and he is a fun guy to be around. The only part of this pattern that scares me is the grafting, but I am going to go for it. This pattern is very intuitive so far. What do I mean? It is easy to follow. I am hoping to take it with me to the retreat. I enjoy a lace challenge once in a while and this is going to be my challenge for a bit. I think it will knit quicker than fast. I am using Knit Picks dk/sport yarn, this yarn actually is over spun, so I am hoping that is not a problem. In the ends is the experience that counts. I am hoping to have more pictures later this weekend. Thanks for stopping by!

I-Cord Bind off
I made this video a while ago . It is a small tutorial attempt at helping people understand the I-Cord bind-off. Once in a while I refer to it and watch it myself, because it is helpful. I made it when I made the Baby Bath Wrap pattern. I hope you enjoy it and that is of help to you. Thanks for stopping by!

Pygora please
I was thinking of spinning this by drop spindle, but the wheel is a great way of testing myself for this kind of yarn. I am making use of the fast flyer to make a very thin single of pygora to use on a two ply or a three ply, I don't know yet. Pygora is very strong, just as I thought, this has been sitting in a bag for a while it needs to breathe a bit before I continue spinning. The fiber need to be opened and that is what I am going to do later on. This is my Saturday project, but I do have a hat to finish. Thanks for stopping by!
