Still chipping away at three main focus projects right now. The Kingsfoil socks are almost done. I have 3 more repeats of the pattern on the foot and then I can work the toe and get these off the needles. I'd really like to try to get these done by the end of the month.… Continue reading Year of Projects 2023: Week 13

FO Friday: Beach Walk Blanket
It is done! A long-term project I started last April, and the first really big crochet project I decided to tackle after learning how to crochet just a couple of months before. Pattern is by Marion Mitchell of Wool.Thread.Paint. I highly recommend her patterns. They come with extensive instructions with steps illustrated with photos (the… Continue reading FO Friday: Beach Walk Blanket

I'm a day late for this week's check-in but whew! It's been a week! Happy to say that I finally have landed with a new job that should start mid-May. I'm working for the same company but no longer as an independent contractor which will make taxes SO much easier. Friday into Saturday was wild… Continue reading Year of Projects 2022: Week 17
Year of Projects: Week 9
Just a few things this week since my big focus was getting the Oregon Cardigan finished up (more details on that are in my post from Friday). I have been working away at the preview knit which I will be able to share photos of in another week or so - and I'm in the… Continue reading Year of Projects: Week 9
