I've got a few things finished up this week so I'm mostly planning on focusing on my advent box blanket projects. I finished up the 3 Leaves socks I've been working on. The design is by Paula Pereira and was originally in Laine's 52 Weeks of Socks book (but can be purchased separately on Ravelry… Continue reading Year of Projects 2022: Week 52

Year of Projects 2022: Week 51
Checking in as we move towards the end of the year. I always love this time of contemplative planning and relative quiet. Gifts are all wrapped and sent, and work is relatively quiet. It's been very cold here (single digits in Farenheit) so we've had a warm and cheerful fire going most days, which is… Continue reading Year of Projects 2022: Week 51
WIP Wednesday/YOP 2022 Update
A bit late or a bit early with my update for this week - take your pick. Last week was a rough one. My elderly cat suffered a stroke on Tuesday mid-morning and while the vet said "maybe she'll regain some function", it was obvious that she wasn't improving, so Thursday I made the difficult… Continue reading WIP Wednesday/YOP 2022 Update

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

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

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

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

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

More sock things this week included finishing up sock #1 of the Brighton socks. I'm really enjoying working these up in West Yorkshire Spinners 4-ply with it's nice smooth twist and vibrant colors. I have cast on for sock #2 and I'm about halfway through the leg, so I want to focus on these and… Continue reading Year of Projects 2022: Week 38

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
