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,…

YOP: Y13-W5
HI. Its Monday here. Yes, YOP is a Sunday event. Last week we were out of town Wednesday-Sunday. We went CAMPING. In a TENT. In Virginia. Yes. It WAS in the 90s. And HUMID. But we had a fan in the tent, so it was ok. We braved the heat and did Busch Gardens Williamsburg…

YOP: Y13-W4
This week I worked on a non-YOP knitting project (a GIANT scrappy shawl) while I found the emotional fortitude to start the sleeves on my sweater. Which when it comes down to it, aren’t difficult, but getting them started means gathering the proper tools and supplies. I started them Friday afternoon, when I decided I…

YOP: Y13-W3
As summer continues to drag on, so does my sweater. I’ve dubbed it Cloudy Skies by the way. I managed to misplace 1 of the balls. I had it out last week, but since it has vanished into some crevasse in my house. I blame the cats. I’ve made little progress AT ALL on it.…

YOP: Y13-W2
Welcome back to YOP, week 2 post. I made a little progress on my sweater, and nothing else. I have been working on other things (mundane and creative) and haven’t devoted a tremendous amount of time to my sweater. I DID have the sweater with me when we had our Girl Scout sleepover at the…

A Year of Projects is a loosely Ravelry based collective of bloggers sharing their goals and plans for a year of creating. Its a lovely and supportive group of humans. Lets jump into my…

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: 4/52
I was going to write this tomorrow, on MONDAY, but here I am on Sunday night clickity clacking away on my keyboard. Its been a weird week that has put me in a weird headspace. Last week was a “short week” here, complete with internet connectivity issues (that resulted in a ISP tech visit and…

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.…
