Wow, the last time I posted was last year. That's pretty lame. I have been knitting but haven't taken any pictures. I'm actually progressing nicely on my Keelin. I'm on the second front. This week Twist Collective announced a finish fest to encourage finishing those projects by February 1st. I would like to see this … Continue reading Something new
Happy Thanksgiving!
I know the stores have been displaying Christmas items for the last 2 months. However, for me the season is now officially begun. Thanksgiving is a wonderful holiday. It's a holiday about gathering with friends and family. Sharing a good meal and enjoying the day. My family never was one for verbalizing thanks. Some years … Continue reading Happy Thanksgiving!
Keelin Progress
I'm not holding my breath that I'll finish Keelin by the end of November for NaKniSweMo. Regardless, I am having a great time knitting this sweater. At this point the back is about 10 inches long. I need to get to 13 before I start the sleeve decreases. The sweater has not been without its … Continue reading Keelin Progress
Sunday Plans
As winter approaches I'm starting to panic about everything that needs to get done around the house. Saturday's are pretty chopped up, so I look to Sunday to try and spend concentrated time on things like laundry, cleaning and what not. Today, I was pretty motivated to plow through some chores. Of course my list … Continue reading Sunday Plans
Flap Happy Hat – very happy!
When Spud & Chloe launched last year, I was intrigued. The logo caught my eye (gotta love marketing, seriously). I was intrigued with the fun colors, the fun patterns and the attitude surrounding the product. So, when my mom, sister and I headed to Webs Yarn Store early this year, I knew I wanted to … Continue reading Flap Happy Hat – very happy!
NaKniSweMo – Who knows?
So, before I knew it November rolled around again. NaNoWriMo is something that I became aware of a few years ago listening to CraftLit. Listening I also learned about Shannon Okey's NaKniSweMo in which knitters try to knit a sweater in one month. Two years ago I actually did it and knit Wendy Bernard's Tang … Continue reading NaKniSweMo – Who knows?
Right on track, for me at least
Well, as October rolled in, I decided it was a great chance to work on the socks I'd started in honor of Socktober. I also started to work on Through The Loops' mystery sock KAL.I haven't taken any photos of that, but I'm plodding along. Additionally, I had a hat on the needles that I … Continue reading Right on track, for me at least
Rhinebeck: I think I have a partner in crime!
This weekend was the annual New York Sheep & Wool Festival in Rhinebeck, New York. I've been going for some time, I bought my spinning wheel there before my daughter was born, and have been going pretty regularly for some time. Long enough that I remember going before it was as big as it is … Continue reading Rhinebeck: I think I have a partner in crime!
Socktober!
Well, last I wrote about the Riverbed Architecture Socks that I'm making for Chad, I thought I had done the heel wrong. So, I tried knitting the second sock the way I thought it should work, and asked Chad to try it on. The first one fit much better (which I have to admit, if … Continue reading Socktober!
Booking Through Thursday: When Series Go on Too Long
This week's Booking Through Thursday question was certainly relevant to me (I'm wondering if I'm the Jennifer who suggested it). If you read series, do you ever find a series “jumping the shark?” How do you feel about that? And, do you keep reading anyway? I happen to be a big series fan. I enjoy … Continue reading Booking Through Thursday: When Series Go on Too Long
