Closing out this week with a pair of finished socks! Pattern: October Moon by Lina Knits. This is a fun pattern that's been in my queue since it was published in 2020. I substituted my usual Fish Lips Kiss Heel in a contrast color for my pair, rather than use the as-written short-row heel. I… Continue reading FO Friday: October Moon Socks

If you caught my FO Friday post, you'll know I finished up the Brighton socks and Terrain scarf, so I don't have much on the needles right now for knitting. I am working on the plain vanilla sock in fall colors here and there. I'm using Fiber Stash Dyeworks Twinkle Toes sock yarn in the… Continue reading Year of Projects 2022: Week 39
FO Friday
Two finished things to talk about this FO Friday - both happen to have a definite leaning towards purple, although that wasn't planned. 🙂 First up, I finished Terrain. This design by Janina Callio of Woolenberry is a simple scarf, knit mostly in garter stitch with a few sections of stockinette stitch and a simple… Continue reading FO Friday

It's starting to feel like fall here - much cooler (and darker) mornings when we go for our walk, the dog and I. I wore some fingerless mitts this morning as it was down in the low 50s (as well as a hoodie sweatshirt). This time of year always makes me want to cast on… Continue reading Year of Projects 2022: Week 37

I've been focusing on some things around the house this week. For the first time in the 13+ years we've lived here, we've had an actual monsoon-type summer which means that all the weeds which have been waiting patiently in the ground have really taken off. Which means weeding. Not a favorite activity but we've… Continue reading Year of Projects 2022: Week 32

I have three pairs of socks on the go right now, all in various stages of first… Continue reading Year of Projects 2022: Week 29

I've been enjoying reading all the end-of-year posts for those YOP'ers who are working the July year-start. One of my favorite parts of this group is seeing all of your plans - keep 'em coming 🙂 This week, here's what I've worked on: Roses of Avon shawl: I have the main body pattern of floral… Continue reading Year of Projects 2022: Week 28

It was really nice to have a long weekend here in the US for Memorial Day. Both my DH and I had a pretty quiet weekend, but I think we're both back to 100% now, although our little town and the area where he works have been hit pretty hard by COVID these last couple… Continue reading Year of Projects: Week 23

Another craft-filled week - my DH was on business travel again (and he's gone again this week) - so I got a lot accomplished. First up, I finished the big cowl I was working on. This is a design from Joji Locatelli from a while back and I had earmarked 3 half-skeins of Spud and… Continue reading Year of Projects 2022: Week 21

Another really busy week around here, so I mostly worked on odds and ends of things, including: The test knit socks. Finally able to share at least some visuals for these. The designer is Hanks and Needles and I am using Spun Right Round's Classic Sock in the color Wool and Pine. Loads of cables… Continue reading Year of Projects 2022: Week 13
