By Madame Purl, on April 17th, 2011 I’ve been working really hard to finish up some really old projects. They had been WIPs way too long and that had to come to an end.
In a finish or frog it decision I decided to felt this mitten and make it a cat toy. It was too big and I was not [...]
By Madame Purl, on November 1st, 2010 "I'm so handsome in my new sweater."
"Finally! I get a sweater."
Here’s the Rav link. This was really a fun project and happily it blocked out large since my gauge was off. He pranced around the back yard ready for his close-up. Big thanks to Lucky Penny Knits for a [...]

By Madame Purl, on January 26th, 2010 Coco has a sweater. This pattern is from Doggie Knits and is the Piccolo Sweater.
I figured out that she has quite the little barrel chest.
I realized I may not have made this large enough, but instead of ripping I decided the smart thing to do was to put in a [...]
By Madame Purl, on January 5th, 2010 So here we go… I finished up a pair of basic socks with some yarn I dyed a while ago. These have been hanging on for ages and ages, since I just worked on them a minute here and there. The eternal car sock project.
Well… that feels good.
Also I’ve completed a few [...]
