Another busy week here. I think I mentioned two weeks ago my DH and I were both struggling with an awful cold. Or what we thought was a cold. He has had a lot of business travel over the last 3 weeks, and it turned out almost half of the people at business location #2… Continue reading Year of Projects 2022: Week 22

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

I finished up the October Hat (Ravelry link) this week, which also meant I used up all of the Carodan Farms worsted weight in this color from stash! I think this rustic neutral works great with the cables. I did work less rounds of the ribbing than the pattern calls for as I was light… Continue reading Year of Projects 2021-2022: Week 21
Year of Projects 2021-2022: Week 18
Just a few small things to update this week. I've been kind of under the weather and between that and the kitchen remodel, not a lot of time to focus on projects. I did cast on a hat project to use the remaining few hundred yarns of a Carodan Farm Shop worsted-weight I had in… Continue reading Year of Projects 2021-2022: Week 18

First up, this week, I'm happy to say I finished up my Cozy Autumn Socks (Ravelry link). Pattern is from This Handmade Life and I enjoyed knitting these a lot. A nice mix of some interesting bits and some easy rounds, so nothing too complicated. The yarn is Suburban Stitcher's Sock in the color "Maple".… Continue reading Year of Projects 2021-2022: Week 17

Progress continues on my Stillness Shawl, design by Helen Stewart. I hit the 50% mark on it this week, and I'm now working on the textured star section in the silver gray. I'll keep working along on this over the next week and see if I can get to around the 75% mark. This week,… Continue reading Year of Projects 2021-2022: Week 12

Another short update for my YOP things this week. I've been working on a test knit and another non-YOP knit as well, so I'll have more on those for WIP Wednesday, but for now: I finished clue 1 and started clue 2 of the Stillness Shawl from Helen Stewart. This originally was a mystery shawl… Continue reading Year of Projects 2021-2022: Week 10

Still chugging along on several bigger YOP pieces but here's my weekly update on progress for them. Foss Sweater: I managed to get the front and back divided and worked the short-row shaping for the shoulders on the front. I did all of that in the evenings while my DH was enthralled with a TV… Continue reading Year of Projects 2021: Week 6
Year of Projects: Week 3
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
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
