Delighted to say that I finished up the Foss sweater this week and got it dunked into an overdye bath that I think corrected most (let's call it 95%) of the issue with the dye lot. Project Details: This is the Foss for Women sweater (Ravelry link), designed by Jennifer Toland. It's a great casual… Continue reading FO Friday: Foss Sweater

Year of Projects Update – Week 8
First up for this week, I'm delighted to say I finished spinning the mixed BFL/silk roving from Pigeon Roof Studios I had on my wheel. The original roving was a 75/25 blend in the colorway "Dovecote". I'm spinning this as part of a larger sweater-lot mash-up all in these gray-ish teal colors. The final skein… Continue reading Year of Projects Update – Week 8
Year of Projects: Week 7
Kind of a slow week for progress but we had a wonderful visit with family we hadn't seen in almost 2 years, so that counts as a win in my book! I worked on 2 projects for YOP this week. First up, the Foss Sweater. I finished the body, knit the boatneck ribbing, did a… Continue reading Year of Projects: Week 7
Year of Projects 2021: Week 6
Still chugging along on several bigger YOP pieces but here's my weekly update on progress for them. Foss Sweater: I managed to get the front and back divided and worked the short-row shaping for the shoulders on the front. I did all of that in the evenings while my DH was enthralled with a TV… Continue reading Year of Projects 2021: Week 6
Year of Projects – Week 5
More of the same this week - I'm still working on a bunch of larger projects so nothing new and shiny but here's my current progress: My Foss sweater has been completed up to the underarms and divided to work the front and back. Since I didn't get it finished for August, I don't have… Continue reading Year of Projects – Week 5
Year of Projects – Week 4
This week, I finished spinning the first of the 2 bobbins of singles for the current 4-oz braid I'm working on. This is the 75/25 mixed BFL/silk braid from Pigeonroof Studios in the "Dovecote" colorway. I've really been loving these soft grayish-teals right now! I've already started bobbin 2, but here's the first half of… Continue reading Year of Projects – Week 4
Year of Projects: Week 3
This week, I finished up several of my goals (which you can see in prior posts this week). I finished the Frostwork scarf, and the first 8 oz of spinning that I had been working on when the year started. I started the next 4-oz braid of fiber for the sweater spin I'm working on.… Continue reading Year of Projects: Week 3
WIP Wednesday: July 14, 2021
A mixed bag of things I'm working on this week, although I'm happy to report I've finished a few projects up as well. I finished my Frostwork scarf, but will have an FO update on that for Friday since it's currently blocking out in our early morning sunshine. I also will have a finished skein… Continue reading WIP Wednesday: July 14, 2021
Year of Projects 2021-2022: Week 2 Update
A quick note to start today's update post that I've created a separate "checklist" page for all the projects for the year here. It'll help me be able to find them and if you're popping in late, hopefully will help keep you from having to search for the master list. So what have I been… Continue reading Year of Projects 2021-2022: Week 2 Update
WIP Wednesday – July 7, 2021
Not just a Work in Progress Wednesday, but more like a What I'm...... Wednesday. I'm in the midst of several larger knitting, spinning and reading projects, so I thought I'd do a mid-week summary, just to document. Knitting: About a third done the Frostwork Scarf. I'm trying to do a repeat or two a day… Continue reading WIP Wednesday – July 7, 2021
