Year of Projects: Week 32
My brain. So I have 7 patterns in various states of written. A TON that I need to make a reality. I said to myself the other day, “Self, no new patterns until we get some releases out”. What does my brain do?? IT PRACTICALLY FORCES ME TO KNIT A NEW DESIGN. The nerve!! This…

Finishing A Thing
I like to have specific projects for specific areas. Like a trail of fiber bread crumbs strewn all over the house (much to the chagrin of my spouse). Today’s FO was the socks I had upstairs that I worked on during story/bed time (10 minutes at a time). I am uncertain of when I started…

Year of Projects: Weeks 30/31
Sometime I feel I need to post only when I have groundbreaking stuff to share. I don’t. I’m going to blame the month of March for my lax blogging. No reason. I just don’t want to take responsibility for being absent. I stash busted a C2C baby blanket for my spouse’s niece. Who is due…

Year of Projects: Week 28
Goal share time: I can say with a fair amount of certainty, I didn’t buy yarn in February of 2021. I more than made up for it in January; I had an advent box to open for the first 2 weeks of February- but the yarn was PURCHASED in January! One of 3 months of…

Year of Projects: Week 27
I’ve been working almost exclusively on the “Right Round” Project. I am currently about 55% of the way through the project and I love it more every day! The fingering weight yarn and size 3 needles are not particularly quick, but the project is really great. I’m already planning a cowl version AND a “windscreen”-cowl…

What’s Today?
This week has been feeling chaotic! Our schedule has been thrown up in the air; a holiday here in the USA, a new learning model with school, a snow day! I woke up thinking today was Monday. It took me a minute to realize it’s Friday!! I managed to finally post my Magic Sea Captain…

Love Lines Advent Recap
In all the years I’ve been knitting, this is my first advent box. These boxes of surprise colorway mini skeins are frequently seen during the December holiday season. I have been curious to try one, but usually miss the order cut-off in the fall. When my absolute favorite indie dyer, Terri from AT Haynes House…
