I've got a few things finished up this week so I'm mostly planning on focusing on my advent box blanket projects. I finished up the 3 Leaves socks I've been working on. The design is by Paula Pereira and was originally in Laine's 52 Weeks of Socks book (but can be purchased separately on Ravelry… Continue reading Year of Projects 2022: Week 52

WIP Wednesday/YOP 2022 Update
A bit late or a bit early with my update for this week - take your pick. Last week was a rough one. My elderly cat suffered a stroke on Tuesday mid-morning and while the vet said "maybe she'll regain some function", it was obvious that she wasn't improving, so Thursday I made the difficult… Continue reading WIP Wednesday/YOP 2022 Update

Just knitting and crochet to talk about this week, so a slightly shorter post than usual. If you'd like to read about my plans for 2023 in terms of crafty things, you can visit my middle of the week post here. I finished the self-striping socks I had been working on. The yarn is Desert… Continue reading Year of Projects: Week 50

We're back from a busy travel week to and from the east coast for a few days on Chincoteague Island to enjoy the ocean (albeit a very cold and windy ocean) and spend the Thanksgiving holiday here in the US with my parents. We had a great time at both and enjoyed some long walks… Continue reading Year of Projects 2022: Week 49

A bit late with my post this week, but here's what I've been working on: I have several new cast-ons. I was in the mood for a bit of colorwork, so I have started Tin Can Knits' Compass Cowl. I received 4 skeins of Marie Wallin's British Breeds yarn (her own custom spun yarn) in… Continue reading Year of Projects 2022: Week 46

I think I'm in denial that it is almost November already! This year has totally flown by and now that we're into my favorite time of the year, I am really longing for the hours and days to slow down a bit. Let's take a look at what I've been working on this week, shall… Continue reading Year of Projects 2022: Week 45

We had a lovely weekend away in Colorado last week, so no YOP update post from me, although I did get a lot of knitting done! I finished up a not-quite-matching hat/scarf set. The scarf is the Malabrigo Waffles Scarf (a free pattern on Ravelry). The hat is the Dots and Lines hat by Lete's… Continue reading Year of Projects 2022: Week 41

It's starting to feel like fall here - much cooler (and darker) mornings when we go for our walk, the dog and I. I wore some fingerless mitts this morning as it was down in the low 50s (as well as a hoodie sweatshirt). This time of year always makes me want to cast on… Continue reading Year of Projects 2022: Week 37

Running a bit behind this week while taking advantage of our 3-day weekend here in the States, but here's my update for the week. I started and finished Vanessa Smith's Stars Hollow hat using a skein of DK-weight handspun. The original roving was from Funky Carolina (a BFL wool) and dyed in the colorway Eowyn.… Continue reading Year of Projects 2022: Week 36

First up this week are my pair of finished self-striping, plain vanilla socks. Yarn is from Desert Vista Dyeworks in the 'Monkey Wrench' colorway. I used a leftover bit of plain black for the Fish Lips Kiss heels in this otherwise simple pair. The yarn base is one I generally have almost a half skein… Continue reading Year of Projects 2022: Week 34
