If you missed my FO Friday post, you can check out the two projects I finished up last week - the Spirea shawl and my pair of striped plain vanilla socks.

Year of Projects 2023: Week 20
Back from a successful there and back again trip to the east coast to visit my folks. My mum was getting over a nasty bout of pneumonia so we had a pretty quiet visit, although my dad and I went out for coffee and a bookstore visit, and I tagged along while he led a… Continue reading Year of Projects 2023: Week 20

Year of Projects 2022: Week 30
This week, I finished up my lace shawl sample, Roses of Avon, which you can see here in Friday's FO post. So I've mostly worked on socks this week. I finished up a pair of River Rapids socks (a free pattern on Ravelry) and love how these knit up. I used a new-to-me yarn from… Continue reading Year of Projects 2022: Week 30
