Year of Projects: Week 11
This week felt like I got no crafting done. I barely made a dent in my new round of masks. There was only chaos (cables) on the needles. The pattern is approaching testing stage (I need to add the simple chart)! With Halloween events, my littlest’s Birthday, and my parents coming up for 24 hours,…

Season Two is Finally Here!
I’m unabashedly nerdy. I love sci-fi and fantasy. One of my favorite franchises, STAR WARS! So today I am extra stoked that the Mandalorian is back for season two! And with new Mandalorian episodes, there is sure to be more of the Child, a.k.a. Baby Yoda!! I spent some of today (when not celebrating the…

Not Enough Time
To do everything. This week has not been particularly productive for knitting or crocheting. Heck, I’m not even working on an actual crochet project. Yikes. Monday night, a friend of mine and I took our kids to a ticketed Halloween Drive-Thru candy event. It was a nightmare. We WAITED in a HUGE line of cars…

Year of Projects: Week 10
We had a family adventure at Dinosaur Land this morning. It was damp, dreary, and quite chilly out. But the dinosaurs didn’t seem to mind. There were some other people around, but everyone did a good job of social distancing AND mask wearing. I was able to get a couple fun outdoors pictures of some…

More Chaos (Cables)
After finishing up 2 projects (totaling 5 items) last week I did the obvious, I started another. Honestly there are about 10 projects I wanted to start but I exercised some restraint instead. This is the small version of the Chaos Cables pattern I’m designing. I wanted to get at least 2 of the anticipated…

Year of Projects: Week 9
HAHA! I finally feel like I’m making headway again! Last week I finished up the knitting of TWO projects! Bringing the total of YOP Projects to 11. I’m over half way to my initial goal of 20. The Good Family Christmas Stockings are ready to be lined, as soon as I get out my sewing…

Year of Projects: Week 8
Usually I do my YOP updates on Sunday. However, yesterday the weather gave me a headache and made me annoyed. Which means I’m writing this post on a Monday. Cool story, yeah? I didn’t actually finish anything last week. I’m working on finishing the 4 Good Family Christmas Stockings and my Cute Fight sweater. Here’s…

So Close!
But I won’t taste it, because that would be weird. I finished the body and neck of my Cute-Fight sweater! I purchased the yarn a year ago from the AT Haynes House Yarns booth at the Frederick Fiber Fest. I cast-on the project October 22. 2019, worked on it for a bit then got distracted…

Year of Projects: Week 7
A FINISH, FINALLY!! My Chaos Cables is COMPLETE. I know I’m yelling. It’s pretty exciting stuff. We’ve had some unseasonably chilly weather, so I’ve been wearing it inside to keep me toasty. Spouse joked that it looks like a knit straight jacket if I pull it down over my arms… He isn’t wrong. I took…

Making Progress
I belong to a stash down group on Ravelry, and they periodically do short events, in addition to their super long-term goal of using up stash. I’m currently working through a “dash” that started the end of July and runs through mid-October. The premise is that you add a bunch of projects and yarn to…
