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

Year of Projects 2023: Week 3
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 2
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
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 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
FO Friday: Desert Mandala
I wanted to do a separate post just on my finished Desert Mandala since it was a very long-time, epic-sized project and I am really proud of myself for getting it done this year! The design is from Chatelaine Designs. It was originally a "class", so the pattern is broken up into sections, although I… Continue reading FO Friday: Desert Mandala
Year of Projects 2022: Week 46
A bit late with my post this week, but here's what I've been working on: I have several new cast-ons. I was in the mood for a bit of colorwork, so I have started Tin Can Knits' Compass Cowl. I received 4 skeins of Marie Wallin's British Breeds yarn (her own custom spun yarn) in… Continue reading Year of Projects 2022: Week 46
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
