YOP: Y13-W7 thru 11
OH. I blinked and its now September. Back to school has turned into our daily routine. This year is looking a bit different, I was offered, and accepted, a long-term substitute secretarial position (until roughly mid-November) in the counseling office at my favorite high school. I love interacting with the students outside of class; and…

YOP: Y13-W6
I almost didn’t bother with a YOP update on my Stormy Skies sweater. I finished the 2nd sleeve, and started the remainder of the body with the last full ball. Baring catastrophe, I should finish up this week (so my week 7 update SHOULD have a FO). I didn’t take a picture of both sleeves,…

And the guilt was misplaced. As it happens I’ve been not really doing a lot of social media posting.…

YOP 2023: 5-7/52
It seems like those first four consecutive weekly posts were a fluke! Last weekend I had a stomach thing, I think food poisoning. So that shot last weekend. But honestly, 2023 has been pretty slow to FINISH stuff. UNTIL TODAY. Today I finished the knitting of this massive scarf, including undoing all 292 cast-off stitches…

YOP 2023: 3/52
You know what I’m bad at? Going to the Post Office. I can FORCE myself to go when I have DEADLINE specific things like Etsy Orders or holiday cards. But in general I find it REALLY difficult to just go. I don’t hate going. I just struggle to make the time to just do it.…

But I’ve done the work so I can tell you the finished dimensions, needle sizes, and how much yarn you need. NO guessing. Project Backstory Because this is the internet and bloggers…
