I finally finished spinning the 3 black and purple braids of merino I bought awhile ago. Last night I wound one to start knitting a birthday pair of arm warmers for my teen, whose birthday was yesterday. Story of my life lately. The yarn is 100% merino that I custom ordered for the teen. Spun… Continue reading Delayed birthday knitting

Sample knitting and socks
I started sample knitting for my LYS a couple weeks ago. It's a great way to knit patterns that look fun but aren't something I'd wear or use new yarns. So my main project right now is this shawl by Casapinka, The pattern is Llama Drama and the yarn is Yakima from Plymouth yarn. I… Continue reading Sample knitting and socks
Three weeks of crafting – pt. 2
In my head, splitting up these catch-up posts into a few smaller posts makes more sense than having you scroll through a super long post. This one will have actual projects in it so yay! Shortly after New Year's, I finished Miss 4-year-old's sweater and she wore it to her preschool art class on the… Continue reading Three weeks of crafting – pt. 2
Three weeks of crafting – pt. 1
First off, yikes! I realized late last week that I hadn't posted a blog post in a while, and then the thought of trying to catch up with "all the crafting" that I had done in that time got to be overwhelming so I tried to ignore it. While I had big hopes of doing… Continue reading Three weeks of crafting – pt. 1

Of course, now that I've said that, the universe will mess with me, oh well. First up with Miss 4… Continue reading 10 days left

I'm slowly making progress on my middle kiddos fingerless mitts. The first mitt is about an inch away from binding off, then just the thumb left. She loves it so far and the yarn is really nice to knit with. I decided to put the Milo vests in the basket of ignored projects until after… Continue reading WIP Wednesday and plus a cast on
Christmas knitting fever
Every year I say I'm not going to knit for the holidays. And every year I end up trying to cramp a bunch of projects in the queue in time for gifting. While it's not a huge deal if I don't finish these projects in time, I'd still like to get them done quickly. The… Continue reading Christmas knitting fever
Almost done!
A late WIP Wednesday, oops! Both of hubby's socks are past the heel and into the ribbing. I have about 2 inches left on the back sock then I'll have him try them on again before I bind off. My next project will be fingerless mitts for my middle. But since I can't find any… Continue reading Almost done!
WIP Wednesday
One benefit of a blog is accountability for projects. Ages ago I had a video podcast and I really liked the push to show progress each week. For a small amount of time, I considered starting it again, however, my house is rarely quiet enough to record a podcast. Let alone, finding the time to… Continue reading WIP Wednesday
