Well the second clue came in early yesterday. I noticed it around 7:30pm. Of course I jumped on it and got the first sock through clue two of the mystery sock knit along. I bet I get sock 2 done tonight.
There is this great blog hop that I joined. It is called bowls with boarders. Regina came up with this great paper piece pattern - which I used to stack them this high. Please check out all the other bowls for today! Birgit H. Vicki B. Monika G. Scher (no post) Dorothea Rosa Patch.The Love Of Sewing Nuclear Knits Cottage-Quilt Cattinka Hill Valley Quilter Ninis Patchwork I wanted a table runner but didn't want to keep stacking bowls - so I decided to take my favorite fabric and use it on the other half. After that I decided my love of hexagons had to come out as well. This was an incredibly fun project! You should check out the rest of the bowls on the site. So impressive!
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!
Yep. It has happened to me. I never thought it would - but it has. I'm starting with this book. Wait, let me back up and explain. I've heard about "crazy" people who have pushed to knit every item in a book before. Silly. Mad. Crazy I know. I've always thought ... well there has to be one or two patterns you don't really want to knit up that bad. This book has got me. EVERY FREAKING PATTERN. I'm going to start this weekend. I'm going to start a Ravelry group. I can't help myself. I need every item in this book and I'm not even sure anyone will get them as gifts. MINE MINE MINE. Oh I feel like a crazy person myself now. Anyone up for joining in the insanity?
very cute!
