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

FO Friday: March 17, 2023
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
Year of Projects 2023: Week 11
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
Year of Projects 2023: Week 10
A mixed bag of things to report on this week, so I'm going to jump right in. I finished up the Quill shawl and posted about that in my FO Friday post, so you've likely seen that one already. I've been working on some smaller projects including picking up the Bumble Hat I cast on… Continue reading Year of Projects 2023: Week 10

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 39
If you caught my FO Friday post, you'll know I finished up the Brighton socks and Terrain scarf, so I don't have much on the needles right now for knitting. I am working on the plain vanilla sock in fall colors here and there. I'm using Fiber Stash Dyeworks Twinkle Toes sock yarn in the… Continue reading Year of Projects 2022: Week 39

Year of Projects 2022: Week 37
It's starting to feel like fall here - much cooler (and darker) mornings when we go for our walk, the dog and I. I wore some fingerless mitts this morning as it was down in the low 50s (as well as a hoodie sweatshirt). This time of year always makes me want to cast on… Continue reading Year of Projects 2022: Week 37
Year of Projects 2022: Week 36
Running a bit behind this week while taking advantage of our 3-day weekend here in the States, but here's my update for the week. I started and finished Vanessa Smith's Stars Hollow hat using a skein of DK-weight handspun. The original roving was from Funky Carolina (a BFL wool) and dyed in the colorway Eowyn.… Continue reading Year of Projects 2022: Week 36
