Mostly working on socks right now, but a few other things of note for this week. Socks: I have 2 pairs on the needles right now. I have finished sock #1 of the Cliff Walk socks (design by Helen Stewart) using The Woolen Rabbit Sock in Pussywillow (a favorite color I've had languishing in stash… Continue reading Year of Projects 2023: Week 3

Year of Projects 2023: Week 1
Happy New Year to everyone! I have to say starting a new year out on a Sunday pushes all my organizational buttons since it's nice and neat to start off with plans at the beginning of a week. We did not stay up late to ring in the new year (we never do, in fact)… Continue reading Year of Projects 2023: Week 1
Year of Projects 2022: Week 52
I've got a few things finished up this week so I'm mostly planning on focusing on my advent box blanket projects. I finished up the 3 Leaves socks I've been working on. The design is by Paula Pereira and was originally in Laine's 52 Weeks of Socks book (but can be purchased separately on Ravelry… Continue reading Year of Projects 2022: Week 52
Year of Projects 2022: Week 51
Checking in as we move towards the end of the year. I always love this time of contemplative planning and relative quiet. Gifts are all wrapped and sent, and work is relatively quiet. It's been very cold here (single digits in Farenheit) so we've had a warm and cheerful fire going most days, which is… Continue reading Year of Projects 2022: Week 51
WIP Wednesday/YOP 2022 Update
A bit late or a bit early with my update for this week - take your pick. Last week was a rough one. My elderly cat suffered a stroke on Tuesday mid-morning and while the vet said "maybe she'll regain some function", it was obvious that she wasn't improving, so Thursday I made the difficult… Continue reading WIP Wednesday/YOP 2022 Update
2023 Year of Projects Planning
I've been participating all year long in the Year of Projects group over on Ravelry and have very much enjoyed getting to know everyone there. Basically, it's a blogging group of like-minded crafters who post weekly about what they're working on and most of them also have a goal list for things they'd like to… Continue reading 2023 Year of Projects Planning
Year of Projects 2022: Week 45
I think I'm in denial that it is almost November already! This year has totally flown by and now that we're into my favorite time of the year, I am really longing for the hours and days to slow down a bit. Let's take a look at what I've been working on this week, shall… Continue reading Year of Projects 2022: Week 45
WIP Wednesday – Podcast Form
I decided to restart my languishing podcast, so if you're interested in what I'm currently making, currently reading and a quick life update on why I took a break from podcasting for 18 months, here's all of that in one chatty video. https://youtu.be/B5SaNoN8sz0
Year of Projects 2022: Week 30
This week, I finished up my lace shawl sample, Roses of Avon, which you can see here in Friday's FO post. So I've mostly worked on socks this week. I finished up a pair of River Rapids socks (a free pattern on Ravelry) and love how these knit up. I used a new-to-me yarn from… Continue reading Year of Projects 2022: Week 30
Year of Projects 2022: Week 26
Halfway through the year already! Here we are for week 26 of my Year of Projects. This week, I worked on: My Beach Walk Blanket. After working the 5 rounds of granny stripes, I realized I had done something wrong on the transition round between the small granny squares and the stripes because the rounds… Continue reading Year of Projects 2022: Week 26
