Checking in for YOP without much to report other than some planning and life stuff, so if that doesn't interest you, have a great week - otherwise, read on! No progress on any of my specific YOP projects. I've got the Sonoran shawl still on the needles, the December wool applique mug rug partially done… Continue reading Year of Projects: December 17, 2021

Whew! It's been a week. I travelled back east to visit my parents, whom I haven't seen in TWO years! It was lovely to spend some time with them but the travel wiped me out and honestly, I did not enjoy being on the flights which were absolutely packed to the gills. I wore my… Continue reading WIP Wednesday: December 15, 2021

Whew! Hard to believe there are only 3 more Wednesdays left in this year. It feels like the year has barely gotten started in some ways! This week I've got two non-YOP knitting things to share. Dust of Snow wrap: This was a very popular pattern released by Helen Stewart a couple of holiday seasons… Continue reading WIP Wednesday: December 8, 2021

This week I've mostly been working on my Sonoran shawl project while I've been focused on some advent box knitting. I'm happy to report that I've reached the halfway point in this large project. The center lace (in dark green) is a fairly wide section. The remainder of the other patterning/yarn color changes will mirror… Continue reading Year of Projects Update: December 5, 2021

I have a couple of non-YOP projects I'm working on right now to share for WIP Wednesday today. I've gotten back to work on the Stella (Ravelry link) preview knit I was working on a month or so ago, now that I've finished other deadline knitting. This one wasn't on a specific deadline but the… Continue reading WIP Wednesday: December 1, 2021

Kind of a short and truncated YOP week for me with the Thanksgiving holiday here in the US. I mostly worked on one project, but will mention I did do a bit of work on my wool applique project. (No image as it really looks almost the same.) My DH and I did a bit… Continue reading Year of Projects 2021-2022: Week 22

Quite a few on-the-go things I'm working on right now, or have recently finished up: I finished up the Hoarfrost hat (Ravelry link) this week. I really like this pattern as it's nice and basic, but knits up quickly with a fun texture. The yarn is Dragon Hoard Yarns DK in the colorway "Goblin Market",… Continue reading WIP Wednesday: November 24, 2021

I finished up the October Hat (Ravelry link) this week, which also meant I used up all of the Carodan Farms worsted weight in this color from stash! I think this rustic neutral works great with the cables. I did work less rounds of the ribbing than the pattern calls for as I was light… Continue reading Year of Projects 2021-2022: Week 21

I finished up the Sprocket Socks (Ravelry link) I was working on. These are a fun way to use up minis or scrap sock yarn. The pattern has detailed instructions but also has more basic "recipe" where you can easily add in your own personal details. I opted to use 6 instead of 5 colors… Continue reading WIP Wednesday: November 17, 2021

This week, I finished up the first bobbin of singles for the 8-oz spin I've been working on slowly. I have 3 more oz of singles to spin on bobbin #2 and I'll start that this week. (You might remember I spun a 2-oz sample skein of this roving, so I've got the remaining 6… Continue reading Year of Projects 2021-2022: Week 20
