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…

Mysterious
So I have a hard time keeping track of my cable needles. I seem to lose them more than any other tool I possess. My all time favorite cable needle is from Brittany. I like them because they are short, smooth, but not slippery, and they have a slight non-ridged indent in the center. I…

Year Of Projects: Week 5
Sorry friends, no finishes this week. I’ve made a bunch of additional masks, did some scrappy projects for wrangling said masks (read more about it here if you want), and worked on two other projects. Justine I’m further than this now. Justine isn’t part of my YOP projects, but I love it and want to…

Scraptastic
Yesterday I got the itch to work on some small projects to corral masks for myself and the kids. Our entryway is SUPER tiny, so making the most of my space is important. Additionally, since my space is SOO tiny, keeping it organized is a must. Disorganization looks like a huge mess. I made three…

Productivity with American Gods
While sewing, I have been listening to audiobooks on Hoopla. I used to think I couldn’t do audiobooks, I was wrong. Good thing too, I like to read while I craft. Reading a book with text is not something I can do while I sew! I’ve tried, and failed spectacularly at both tasks. Last week…
