A few small finishes for this week and some new starts, so let's dive right in: I finished up the super cute Crozon sweater designed by Lisa Chemery. I knit the 12-month-old size (she has sizes from 3-months up to adult sizes) using 2 skeins of Carlsbad Worsted from Explorer Knits and Fibers. The MC… Continue reading WIP Wednesday/YOP: May 8, 2024

Three finished things to talk about today! (I got on a finishing things kick, so here we are.) First, I finished the 4th of July wool applique kit I had been working on since last year. It really didn't take me anywhere near that amount of time once I sat down and actually did the… Continue reading WIP Wednesday/YOP: May 1, 2024

First up this week, I've got a finished pair of socks to share. These are the Fairy Dance Socks, designed by This Handmade Life, and I knit my pair from Salty Blonde Fiber's 2-ply Sock in the colorway "Emma" (from the Jane Austen collection she did earlier this year.) I knit the medium size and… Continue reading WIP Wednesday/YOP: April 24, 2024

Just a few things to talk about this week. I'm mostly working on a lot of plain stockinette which isn't exciting but necessary for projects a lot of the time. I finished the first Fairy Dance Sock. This is a beautiful and very stretchy pattern but you have to like twisted stitches to find it… Continue reading WIP Wednesday/YOP: April 17, 2024

Work and life continue to be overflowing right now, as evidenced by my post last week, where I titled it June 3, apparently no longer knowing what month it is. Here's what I've managed to get worked on this week where we are back to April. Fairy Dance Socks. Turned the heel on sock one… Continue reading WIP Wednesday/YOP: April 10, 2024

Last week disappeared in a tidal wave of work-related things, but here's this week's update. I finished both pairs of socks I had been working on: Pattern: Stack of Books by SockWitchery. Yarn: Salty Blonde Fibers Sparkle Sock in the Champagne POP colorway (which is just fun... plain and simple). This is a great not-quite-vanilla… Continue reading WIP Wednesday/YOP: April 3, 2024

While it is theoretically spring here, we're still having below-freezing temps at night so it doesn't feel a whole lot like spring yet. I planted a large section of daffodils and daylilies last fall right off the deck and I am seeing a few green tips start to poke up so we will see how… Continue reading WIP Wednesday/YOP: March 20, 2024

I'm very behind on posting about my reading this year so just some high-level thoughts on things I've read/am reading since I checked in a whole month ago, back on February 13th. I finished reading Douglas Preston's The Lost City of the Monkey God. This nonfiction book chronicles the search for a legendary lost city… Continue reading Titles on Tuesday: March 19, 2024

It's been super busy around here this week. Aside from celebrating my husband's birthday, I had been handed off a major project just before I left for vacation so I knew that would take up quite a bit of time at work, but we also had a co-worker resign while I was away and our… Continue reading WIP Wednesday/YOP – March 13, 2024

It's been a while since I updated projects so I will hopefully not miss anything but I will admit I am still not quite back into my routine groove yet! I have two finished projects to share with you: Evergreen socks. I used these as my project when we were in the tour van, driving… Continue reading WIP Wednesday/YOP – March 6, 2024
