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 2022: Week 43
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

Year of Projects 2022: Week 1
I took advantage of a few days off to organize my proejcts for 2022 and start a few things: I cast on for a pair of plain vanilla socks, using a self-striping sock yarn from Desert Vista Dyeworks. The colorway is Halley's Comet, and it's alternating stripes of a dark blue and a lightly speckled… Continue reading Year of Projects 2022: Week 1
January 2022 Crafting Goals
Here's what I've got on my to-do list for January: Finish sock #1 of the Vapour Socks. I just need to Kitchener the toe, so that won't take long to do. Finish the Bronwyn sweater. I have the back finished and I'm working on the front right now. Both sleeves are done so once the… Continue reading January 2022 Crafting Goals
Year of Projects: December 17, 2021
Checking in for YOP without much to report other than some planning and life stuff, so if that doesn't interest you, have a great week - otherwise, read on! No progress on any of my specific YOP projects. I've got the Sonoran shawl still on the needles, the December wool applique mug rug partially done… Continue reading Year of Projects: December 17, 2021
