Two finished things to share this Friday. It sure felt good to get a few more things crossed off my Year of Projects list. Frostwork Scarf: This pattern (Ravelry link) is another great one from Susanna IC. The pattern comes with instructions for a scarf and a blanket (or really large shawl), but I felt… Continue reading FO Friday: July 16, 2021

WIP Wednesday: July 14, 2021
A mixed bag of things I'm working on this week, although I'm happy to report I've finished a few projects up as well. I finished my Frostwork scarf, but will have an FO update on that for Friday since it's currently blocking out in our early morning sunshine. I also will have a finished skein… Continue reading WIP Wednesday: July 14, 2021
WIP Wednesday – July 7, 2021
Not just a Work in Progress Wednesday, but more like a What I'm...... Wednesday. I'm in the midst of several larger knitting, spinning and reading projects, so I thought I'd do a mid-week summary, just to document. Knitting: About a third done the Frostwork Scarf. I'm trying to do a repeat or two a day… Continue reading WIP Wednesday – July 7, 2021
Year of Projects 2021-2022: Week 1 Update
Off to a good start, although a bit misleading since I did start the Lightweight Hipster scarf (Ravelry link) before July 1 as I wanted to use it for another challenge's project. It's actually completely finished and blocked - I did the last bits on July 1 to turn in as a finished piece for… Continue reading Year of Projects 2021-2022: Week 1 Update
Update – Year of Projects: 2021-2022
I've been enjoying reading the blog posts of the Year of Project participants who are finishing up (or doing a mid-year check-in post) for the 2020-2021 year. I hadn't really considered adding anything other than knitting projects, but having seen so many other interesting crafts highlighted, I think I'm going to add to my goals… Continue reading Update – Year of Projects: 2021-2022
Tour de Fleece – June 25, 2021
I haven't participated in the Tour de Fleece in several years. I had other crafting things that took priority, I suppose, but I decided I'd participate this year in a casual way with my friend, Laura's group, The Corner of Knit and Tea. If you aren't familiar with the Tour, it's a fiber event that… Continue reading Tour de Fleece – June 25, 2021
Spinning Tuesday – May 17, 2021
I missed getting a post accomplished on Sunday about my handspinning this week. Too many outdoor and house things we were trying to get taken care of, but I do have a finished skein to talk about! This is 214 yards and just under 2 oz of a 2-ply fingering weight yarn I spun from… Continue reading Spinning Tuesday – May 17, 2021
Spinning Sunday – May 2, 2021
I finished spinning up the batt I've been working on for a while. I have a set of 3 from Edgewood Garden Studio that I bought to create a gradient of sorts. They share a copper-y color facet, but run from a dark cinnamon through to the paler cafe au lait batt I'll be spinning… Continue reading Spinning Sunday – May 2, 2021
Knitting and Spinning Plans – May 2021
Disclaimer: I know Ravelry has been an issue for some folks, so please be aware that any Ravelry-focused links will take you over to that site. I will do my best to post image and links NOT attached to Ravelry but some things exist only in that universe. I will try my best to call… Continue reading Knitting and Spinning Plans – May 2021
