  • Year of Projects: September 2024

    Oh hi. It’s Sunday. Inspired by fellow blogger, Backstage Knits, I decided to pop into YOP. Earlier this year, I started a 12-month position at the high school in my neighborhood. I thought there would be more knitting on my walks to and from work. I was mistaken. I’ve gotten a reasonable amount of crafting…

  • WIP-it Wednesday! #1

    It’s the first Wednesday of the new year, and I decided to introduce structure to my posting schedule! Back in November I started a fingering weight scarf. Short Shawl??

  • The Lost Knits File Series Part One

    Finish or Frog Projects from the WIP pile. Not every project is a winner. There. I’ve said it. I have a number of projects that I’ve started and abandoned in the hopes of SOME DAY. Some of these cast aside projects are over 10 years old. They take up physical space. Some of them emotional…
