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
Year of Projects: Week 50
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
2023 Year of Projects Planning
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 2022: Week 49
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
Year of Project 2022: Week 47
If you'd like to see more details on my Desert Mandala x-stitch, you can visit my FO Friday post here. Otherwise, read on for what I've been up to this week. I have finished sock #1 of my Vintage Fairy Lights pair. Pattern is by Helen Stewart and I'm working mine up using a skein… Continue reading Year of Project 2022: Week 47
FO Friday: Desert Mandala
I wanted to do a separate post just on my finished Desert Mandala since it was a very long-time, epic-sized project and I am really proud of myself for getting it done this year! The design is from Chatelaine Designs. It was originally a "class", so the pattern is broken up into sections, although I… Continue reading FO Friday: Desert Mandala
Year of Projects 2022: Week 46
A bit late with my post this week, but here's what I've been working on: I have several new cast-ons. I was in the mood for a bit of colorwork, so I have started Tin Can Knits' Compass Cowl. I received 4 skeins of Marie Wallin's British Breeds yarn (her own custom spun yarn) in… Continue reading Year of Projects 2022: Week 46
FO Friday: Aloft
If you've been following along on the blog for a while, you'll know that I decided to do a personal A to Z challenge with socks, and I have been enjoying that so much, I decided to expand it to one focusing on Shawls, A to Z. Aloft will be the first in that challenge… Continue reading FO Friday: Aloft
