Still chipping away at three main focus projects right now. The Kingsfoil socks are almost done. I have 3 more repeats of the pattern on the foot and then I can work the toe and get these off the needles. I'd really like to try to get these done by the end of the month.… Continue reading Year of Projects 2023: Week 13

Year of Projects 2023: Week 12
I worked on quite a few things this week, here and there. I did finish up a couple of things - a skein of handspun and another hat - which you can read about in my FO Friday post here. If you've been here a while, you know I cast on a lot of new… Continue reading Year of Projects 2023: Week 12

Two finished things to talk about today! I zoomed through a Mountain Topper Hat. I decided to use the leftovers from my Quill shawl, so the colors in this might look familiar. All of the yarns are Spun Right Round Sport. I still didn't use up all of the leftovers so I suspect there will… Continue reading FO Friday: March 17, 2023

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

I managed to finish up my Quill shawl this week and I'm delighted with how it turned out. I knit this as part of a challenge to make something that was owl-themed and used at least 600 yards. The pattern is by Helen Stewart of Curious Handmade, and calls for 3 colors of DK-weight. I… Continue reading FO Friday – March 3, 2023

First up this week, I have a final finished project that I zoomed through this past week. This is the Mountain Ridge scarf (a free pattern on Ravelry), and I used up the leftover almost full skein of Hedgehog Fibres Sock and Kidsilk Haze that were the remnants from a sweater project last year. I… Continue reading Year of Projects 2023: Week 9

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
