From last week...... I was able to finish up the Bumble hat. Having finished it once, found a round that was bothering me with a mistake, I ripped back to that point and reknit. Much better! This one is slated for the donation box as I collect things for the next cold weather season. The… Continue reading Year of Projects 2023: Week 11

Year of Projects 2023: Week 10
A mixed bag of things to report on this week, so I'm going to jump right in. I finished up the Quill shawl and posted about that in my FO Friday post, so you've likely seen that one already. I've been working on some smaller projects including picking up the Bumble Hat I cast on… Continue reading Year of Projects 2023: Week 10

This month is flying by. I feel like we just started the year, and yet, we're heading into the last full week of the second month! Here's what I've been working on this week. (I am still working towards my cast-on goal of 31 projects in Jan/Feb and you can see that list over here.… Continue reading Year of Projects 2023: Week 8

Progress continues along on various things. I am about 75% finished the Carrasco cowl using the 4-color sportweight gradient from The Unique Sheep. I have 2 more full pattern repeats to go to finish up the first of my Dragonstone Socks (plus the plain rounds at the toe), and I have decided to try to… Continue reading Year of Projects 2023: Week 7

I missed posting my FO of the Florence hat on Friday, so let's do that first, shall we? Design is from JP Knits and Knits (Jen Paroccini) and is one I test knit when it originally came out about a year ago. Like all of Jen's patterns, it has a a wide range of sizes… Continue reading Year of Projects 2023: Week 6

Lots of things on the go again this week. I did finish up another hat, but I'll save that for a post for FO Friday. Progress on my Cliff Walk socks continues. I'm actually a bit farther along, having turned the heel and started the foot on sock 2. I should be able to get… Continue reading Year of Projects 2023: Week 4

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

Hannah and I are beginning to get into a schedule and rhythm that has allowed me to actually do some knitting in the evenings again. (She gets cranked up around 8:00 pm when she starts running laps again, so I take a break for some play-time before bed. Kitten energy could run the world.) I… Continue reading Year of Projects 2023: Week 2

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

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
