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: Week 23
It was really nice to have a long weekend here in the US for Memorial Day.

Year of Projects 2021-2022: Week 21
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
