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

Year of Projects 2022: Week 15
Quite a few new projects to talk about this week but if you haven't seen it already, I finished my Break of Dawn shawl which you can read about in Friday's post here. I cast on for a test knit of Baroque Purls's Beanstalk Cowl. I'm using another skein from deep stash, which I think… Continue reading Year of Projects 2022: Week 15

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.

Year of Projects 2022: Week 12
Lots of finished things to talk about this week. I can finally share the preview knit I was working on for one of Brooklyn Tweed's spring design groups: Oiva. This is a VERY generous scarf - I'd even call it more like a narrow stole - with tons of texture. The pattern includes a textured… Continue reading Year of Projects 2022: Week 12

My… Continue reading Year of Projects 2022: Week 8
FO Friday: Princezna Hyacinta Handspun
I focused on getting my singles finished up and plied this week so I have a completed skein of handspun yarn to share for FO Friday today. Original fiber: A set of four 1-oz batts from KCKnits Etsy shop (which appears to be closed indefinitely) in the way-back stash machine (2017? maybe earlier?). These were… Continue reading FO Friday: Princezna Hyacinta Handspun
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

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
