Another craft-filled week - my DH was on business travel again (and he's gone again this week) - so I got a lot accomplished. First up, I finished the big cowl I was working on. This is a design from Joji Locatelli from a while back and I had earmarked 3 half-skeins of Spud and… Continue reading Year of Projects 2022: Week 21

A couple of finished things first for this week. I finished up the Timberland Hat I had been working on. I had two half-skeins of The Unique Sheep's Sushi Socks in stash that were originally part of a sock kit from eons ago. I loved the colors (palest silver and a royal blue) but I… Continue reading Year of Projects 2022: Week 20

It has been a week here for sure. The fire that is about 10 miles to the west of us is now over 37,000 acres and the county moved us to the middle phase of evacuation prep. We are in a small suburb south of town proper and if the winds yesterday continue as they… Continue reading Year of Projects 2022: Week 19

This week has mostly been about trying to get my Misurina Tee finished up. It's been a focus piece when I've had some knitting time in the evenings and I'm happy to report that I finished this one up! I've actually got it on today and it's the perfect weight for our sunny but breezy… Continue reading Year of Projects 2022: Week 18

I'm a day late for this week's check-in but whew! It's been a week! Happy to say that I finally have landed with a new job that should start mid-May. I'm working for the same company but no longer as an independent contractor which will make taxes SO much easier. Friday into Saturday was wild… Continue reading Year of Projects 2022: Week 17

Only knitting and crochet projects to talk about this week. We've been enjoying our beautiful weather in the afternoons and working on putting in fencing for a garden/sitting area off our back deck. We have a LOT of deer here and with so little green, they tend to eat everything - including "non-deer-friendly" plants, so… Continue reading Year of Projects 2022: Week 16

Quite a few new projects to talk about this week but if you haven't seen it already, I finished my Break of Dawn shawl which you can read about in Friday's post here. I cast on for a test knit of Baroque Purls's Beanstalk Cowl. I'm using another skein from deep stash, which I think… Continue reading Year of Projects 2022: Week 15
FO Friday – Break of Dawn Shawl
A finished project to share today - the Break of Dawn Shawl. Design is from Janina Kallio of Woolenberry. I really enjoy her designs as they are a nice combination of simple quick knits with some pretty details. The pattern called for a minimum of 410 yards so I knew I was going to likely… Continue reading FO Friday – Break of Dawn Shawl

A bit late on this week's post as we were traveling for a mini vacation this weekend (a travel post coming shortly), but here's what I worked on this week: I cast on for the Break of Dawn shawl from Woolenberry. I have a lot (A LOT!) of single random skeins of beautiful fingering-weight yarns,… Continue reading Year of Projects 2022: Week 14

Another really busy week around here, so I mostly worked on odds and ends of things, including: The test knit socks. Finally able to share at least some visuals for these. The designer is Hanks and Needles and I am using Spun Right Round's Classic Sock in the color Wool and Pine. Loads of cables… Continue reading Year of Projects 2022: Week 13
