Lots of stuff on the go again this week. If you're interested in a couple of finished projects, hop over to my FO Friday post here. I'll have at least one, maybe two FOs to share at the end of this week as well! First off, I finished up another small skein of handspun in… Continue reading Year of Projects 2023: Week 5

FO Friday – January 27, 2023
I'm currently on a hat-knitting kick and that equates to a couple of quick finished projects to share this week, as well as a finished pair of socks! First up, I finished a modified version of the Pussy Willow Cap. I've knit several of these and they are a great way to use up a… Continue reading FO Friday – January 27, 2023

Mostly working on socks right now, but a few other things of note for this week. Socks: I have 2 pairs on the needles right now. I have finished sock #1 of the Cliff Walk socks (design by Helen Stewart) using The Woolen Rabbit Sock in Pussywillow (a favorite color I've had languishing in stash… Continue reading Year of Projects 2023: Week 3

I've got a few things finished up this week so I'm mostly planning on focusing on my advent box blanket projects. I finished up the 3 Leaves socks I've been working on. The design is by Paula Pereira and was originally in Laine's 52 Weeks of Socks book (but can be purchased separately on Ravelry… Continue reading Year of Projects 2022: Week 52

Checking in as we move towards the end of the year. I always love this time of contemplative planning and relative quiet. Gifts are all wrapped and sent, and work is relatively quiet. It's been very cold here (single digits in Farenheit) so we've had a warm and cheerful fire going most days, which is… Continue reading Year of Projects 2022: Week 51
WIP Wednesday/YOP 2022 Update
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

If you'd like to read about my plans for 2023 in terms of crafty things, you can visit my middle of the week post here. I finished the self-striping socks I had been working on. The yarn is Desert… Continue reading Year of Projects: Week 50

We're back from a busy travel week to and from the east coast for a few days on Chincoteague Island to enjoy the ocean (albeit a very cold and windy ocean) and spend the Thanksgiving holiday here in the US with my parents. We had a great time at both and enjoyed some long walks… Continue reading Year of Projects 2022: Week 49
Year of Projects 2022: Week 46
A bit late with my post this week, but here's what I've been working on: I have several new cast-ons. I was in the mood for a bit of colorwork, so I have started Tin Can Knits' Compass Cowl. I received 4 skeins of Marie Wallin's British Breeds yarn (her own custom spun yarn) in… Continue reading Year of Projects 2022: Week 46

I think I'm in denial that it is almost November already! This year has totally flown by and now that we're into my favorite time of the year, I am really longing for the hours and days to slow down a bit. Let's take a look at what I've been working on this week, shall… Continue reading Year of Projects 2022: Week 45
