Still chipping away at three main focus projects right now. The Kingsfoil socks are almost done. I have 3 more repeats of the pattern on the foot and then I can work the toe and get these off the needles. I'd really like to try to get these done by the end of the month.… Continue reading Year of Projects 2023: Week 13

Year of Projects 2023: Week 12
I worked on quite a few things this week, here and there. I did finish up a couple of things - a skein of handspun and another hat - which you can read about in my FO Friday post here. If you've been here a while, you know I cast on a lot of new… Continue reading Year of Projects 2023: Week 12
FO Friday: March 17, 2023
Two finished things to talk about today! I zoomed through a Mountain Topper Hat. I decided to use the leftovers from my Quill shawl, so the colors in this might look familiar. All of the yarns are Spun Right Round Sport. I still didn't use up all of the leftovers so I suspect there will… Continue reading FO Friday: March 17, 2023

A mixed bag of things to report on this week, so I'm going to jump right in. I finished up the Quill shawl and posted about that in my FO Friday post, so you've likely seen that one already. I've been working on some smaller projects including picking up the Bumble Hat I cast on… Continue reading Year of Projects 2023: Week 10
FO Friday – March 3, 2023
I managed to finish up my Quill shawl this week and I'm delighted with how it turned out. I knit this as part of a challenge to make something that was owl-themed and used at least 600 yards. The pattern is by Helen Stewart of Curious Handmade, and calls for 3 colors of DK-weight. I… Continue reading FO Friday – March 3, 2023

First up this week, I have a final finished project that I zoomed through this past week. This is the Mountain Ridge scarf (a free pattern on Ravelry), and I used up the leftover almost full skein of Hedgehog Fibres Sock and Kidsilk Haze that were the remnants from a sweater project last year. I… Continue reading Year of Projects 2023: Week 9

Progress continues along on various things. I am about 75% finished the Carrasco cowl using the 4-color sportweight gradient from The Unique Sheep. I have 2 more full pattern repeats to go to finish up the first of my Dragonstone Socks (plus the plain rounds at the toe), and I have decided to try to… Continue reading Year of Projects 2023: Week 7
January/February 2023 Starts
No FO's today and this post may not be of much interest to readers, but I wanted to document my new starts for the beginning of 2023 to keep a record for myself of this for the 3 challenges I'm using the new starts for in the first two months of the year. My goal… Continue reading January/February 2023 Starts

I missed posting my FO of the Florence hat on Friday, so let's do that first, shall we? Design is from JP Knits and Knits (Jen Paroccini) and is one I test knit when it originally came out about a year ago. Like all of Jen's patterns, it has a a wide range of sizes… Continue reading Year of Projects 2023: Week 6

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
