I'm participating in the Kacey Knits Casual KAL 2022 that runs through the end of April, but I've already started and finished up a project for it! I have been trying to work through some of the many, many mini skeins I have and this pattern is perfect for that task. I used 8 colors… Continue reading FO Friday: Color Frenzy Cowl

WIP Wednesday: December 15, 2021
Whew! It's been a week. I travelled back east to visit my parents, whom I haven't seen in TWO years! It was lovely to spend some time with them but the travel wiped me out and honestly, I did not enjoy being on the flights which were absolutely packed to the gills. I wore my… Continue reading WIP Wednesday: December 15, 2021
Year of Projects Update: December 5, 2021
This week I've mostly been working on my Sonoran shawl project while I've been focused on some advent box knitting. I'm happy to report that I've reached the halfway point in this large project. The center lace (in dark green) is a fairly wide section. The remainder of the other patterning/yarn color changes will mirror… Continue reading Year of Projects Update: December 5, 2021
Year of Projects 2021-2022: Week 20
This week, I finished up the first bobbin of singles for the 8-oz spin I've been working on slowly. I have 3 more oz of singles to spin on bobbin #2 and I'll start that this week. (You might remember I spun a 2-oz sample skein of this roving, so I've got the remaining 6… Continue reading Year of Projects 2021-2022: Week 20
WIP Wednesday: November 10, 2021
A few non-Year of Projects things on the go right now of note: Sprocket Socks. Pattern is by Pip and Pin and it's a fun way to use up some minis or sock yarn scraps. I've finished sock #1 and have made it through the heel of sock #2. Hoping to finish this pair up… Continue reading WIP Wednesday: November 10, 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
Year of Projects: Week 7
Kind of a slow week for progress but we had a wonderful visit with family we hadn't seen in almost 2 years, so that counts as a win in my book! I worked on 2 projects for YOP this week. First up, the Foss Sweater. I finished the body, knit the boatneck ribbing, did a… Continue reading Year of Projects: Week 7

This is the City Lights Shawl, pattern by Tetiana Ortruda (Ravelry link). I used Miss Babs Yummy Sock in Blackbird and Spun Right Round's SW Sock in Blender for the 2… Continue reading FO Friday: City Lights Shawl
FO Friday – Wild Bees Socks: July 22, 2021
I'm on a roll - two finished objects on two subsequent Fridays! (Although I think this is a short-lived trend as everything else on the needles is a fairly large project now.) These are my finished Wild Bee Socks (Ravelry link). The design is by Helen Stewart from her Handmade Sock Society 4 collection. I… Continue reading FO Friday – Wild Bees Socks: July 22, 2021
