Weeks 21, 22, 23, 24, 25 and 26

Yep.  I have totally slacked on updates.  I’ve been actively working down my year of project stuff.  But it has been a hot minute since I posted.  Let’s cover the good. I finished a few things.  A sweater (Sylvia) that has been on the needles for a year.  Roving that has been sitting for a year and the Hitchhikers shawl that was part of my planned year of project work.   Now for the bad.  I have two projects on my year of project list that just aren’t speaking to me.  One is a pair of mittens on fingering weigh and the other is fingerless mitts (which the pattern is just painful).   In the new year I plan to assess what is working and what I’m hating and focus on the things I enjoy.  Life is too short to work on projects we hate! On my list for yop I still have 3 official projects to complete.  I might swap the sweater pattern.  The plan for the week is coming together!

Week 20 YOP21

A week of FO.  Feeling like maybe this whole wrapping up projects is possible! I finished a simple shawl.  I purged most of this mandala yarn.  Not really a fan. These mittens are a pattern I wrote fir a sock tube from my cranked tubes.  Again so-so!  But at least I’m done!

Week 19 YOP21

Image
Well poo!  I had to pull out black from the crossstitch (which sucked).  And the shawl is taking forever.  Sigh!!

Week 17 & 18 YOP

Image
I’ve been working it!!! I’ve picked up a cross stitch that I’ve left languishing.  I’ve also been working hard on a shawl from my list this year. Most of all I’ve purged my craft closet and am trying to finish and not purchase anything new.

Week 16 YOP21

Image
Finished object time!  Took me nearly a month - but finished this shawl/scarf.  One full skein of sock yarn.  The pattern was Be Simple Variation on Ravelry. Once it was blocked it sure did come out a lot bigger!

Week 15 YOP21

Image
I feel like focus us back on.  I pulled out a king quilt to work on (had to order more fabric).  Worked a lot on my scarf/shawl and pulled out cranked sock tubes to make socks abs mittens. Stash going down!!!!

Week 14 YOP21

Image
I’m still knitting away.  The shawl/scarf is coming along!  I’m also busy pulling out quilts.  Feeling slow.
