Just knitting and crochet to talk about this week, so a slightly shorter post than usual. If you'd like to read about my plans for 2023 in terms of crafty things, you can visit my middle of the week post here. I finished the self-striping socks I had been working on. The yarn is Desert… Continue reading Year of Projects: Week 50

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 49
We're back from a busy travel week to and from the east coast for a few days on Chincoteague Island to enjoy the ocean (albeit a very cold and windy ocean) and spend the Thanksgiving holiday here in the US with my parents. We had a great time at both and enjoyed some long walks… Continue reading Year of Projects 2022: Week 49
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
FO Friday: Aloft
If you've been following along on the blog for a while, you'll know that I decided to do a personal A to Z challenge with socks, and I have been enjoying that so much, I decided to expand it to one focusing on Shawls, A to Z. Aloft will be the first in that challenge… Continue reading FO Friday: Aloft
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
Year of Projects 2022: Week 44
Not a lot on the needles right now, as I'm trying to prioritize my Aloft shawl. I have finished 3 full repeats and I have 6 more rows to finish repeat 4. I decided not to go for repeat 5, as I still have 40 (very long) rows to knit the last border and it's… Continue reading Year of Projects 2022: Week 44
FO Friday: October Moon Socks
Closing out this week with a pair of finished socks! Pattern: October Moon by Lina Knits. This is a fun pattern that's been in my queue since it was published in 2020. I substituted my usual Fish Lips Kiss Heel in a contrast color for my pair, rather than use the as-written short-row heel. I… Continue reading FO Friday: October Moon Socks
Year of Projects 2022: Week 43
Lots of things to talk about this week. I am trying valiantly NOT to cast on several sweaters because it is that season - but progress on quite a few other things. I have been working on some handspun but not far along enough to share it, so more on that next week. I finished… Continue reading Year of Projects 2022: Week 43
WIP Wednesday
Quite a few things on the needles this week, and I'm trying to settle into some more frequent posts other than my YOP weekly updates. Right now, I've got: Aloft Shawl: I'm slowly working on this one during the hour or so I have for knitting in the evenings. I specifically chose this pattern so… Continue reading WIP Wednesday
