Year Of Projects 2021/2022

Let's do this!  Well I've decided to revamp the blog and get it back up and running for The Year of Projects.  Why you might ask?  Well because how else to post and keep track and work on getting everything done I want to?  I started out following Anne's idea for how to pick yarn for the projects.  Random numbers assigned to my stash.  From there I mapped out projects and then mapped out months to get work done in.  I'm sure this list will evolve over time.  But, here is the plan for now.

July 1st 2021 - June 30th 2022

July - Drop Stitch Scarf

August - Fingerless mits

September - Selago Sunset

October - Rabbit Moon Cowl

November - Oak Grove

December - Diamond Chain

January - Flounce Cardi

February - Age of Brass

March - Be Simple Variations

April - Hitchhiker

May/June (catch up on all the projects that are running slow)


This is 12 stash yarns in 10 project.  I'm sure some will go over a month (especially the socks).  Besides these my plan is to finish:

1. Sweater I'm working on now

2. Put together the hexi blanket

3. Finish Tricia's quilt

4. Finish copy cat cowl


I, of course, have to wind yarn and that is something I hate.   Fingers crossed it goes well.

    Now I have to go off and check out all the patterns you've listed - enabling of the best sort! Very excited you added your quilt in there too! (I have a bunch of batiks of you need oddments to fill in anywhere!)

Bowls With Boarders!

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!

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!

I took this photo just so you couldn't make out the colorway or really much of the pattern. Just a sneaky little shot to show you something that I'm currently working on. For those of you out there still wondering ... yes the Yogini sweater is coming along. I'm probably only 2 inches from finishing the second sleeve and then the trim. I know, I really should work harder to finish it!
