This week, I finished up several of my goals (which you can see in prior posts this week). I finished the Frostwork scarf, and the first 8 oz of spinning that I had been working on when the year started. I started the next 4-oz braid of fiber for the sweater spin I'm working on.… Continue reading Year of Projects: Week 3

FO Friday: July 16, 2021
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
Year of Projects 2021-2022: Week 2 Update
A quick note to start today's update post that I've created a separate "checklist" page for all the projects for the year here. It'll help me be able to find them and if you're popping in late, hopefully will help keep you from having to search for the master list. So what have I been… Continue reading Year of Projects 2021-2022: Week 2 Update
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
Weekending – June 28, 2021
We had a lovely rainy (for us here in the high desert anyway) and cool weekend here. We woke up Saturday morning to the sound of rain and it rained off and on for the morning hours, before giving way to beautiful skies and amazing clouds! I spent several hours both Saturday and Sunday doing… Continue reading Weekending – June 28, 2021
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
