  • 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…

    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-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…
