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

Year of Projects 2022 – Week 5
This week, I finished up sock #1 of the By Naughty Design pair. Pattern is from Hunter Hammersen and yarn is from Long Dog Yarns, their Bounce Sock Yarn in A Shortcut to Mushrooms colorway, the first of their LOTR-themed club colors. These are a bit fussy to work with lots of twisted stitches but… Continue reading Year of Projects 2022 – Week 5
Year of Projects: Week 4
This week, I'm working on a new spinning project. I have a lot of handcarded batts in stash and I decided that I would tackle a set of those next. These are from KCKnits on Etsy (although I think her store is permanently closed) and the colorway, Princezna Hyacinta, is inspired by an Alphonse Mucha… Continue reading Year of Projects: Week 4
Year of Projects: Week 3
A long and really busy work and life week here, but I did get a fair amount done on some YOP pieces: I finished up the pair of Desert Vista Dyeworks self-striping socks. The yarn is DVD's Viso sock yarn base in the color Halley's Comet. I added in a pale pink mini-skein from stash… Continue reading Year of Projects: Week 3

A few of the things I've been working on this week: I finished up the Pussywillow Cap (Ravelry link).

I used Travelling Yarn's 757 Sock in Alchemy of Herbs and their… Continue reading WIP Wednesday – October 26, 2021
WIP Wednesday…or Friday? – October 22, 2021
This week has completely gotten away from me between work and my DH being on business travel and errands and life. I started this post Wednesday but completely zoned getting photos and then pushing the publish button, so eh... let's close the week out with a 2-day late WIP Wednesday, shall we? I've been working… Continue reading WIP Wednesday…or Friday? – October 22, 2021
WIP Wednesday – June 22, 2021
I'm slowly finishing up several in-progress things. You saw the finished In Stillness Cardi on Monday already. I decided to cast on the second of the Driftwood Socks before the start of July. I am not 100% sure I will have them finished by July 1st but The Woolly Thistle is hosting a Sock Sprint… Continue reading WIP Wednesday – June 22, 2021
