Week 4/52 YOP21

I’m feeling like progress has been better than expected.  I had for July just the Drop Stitch Scarf.  I finished that up and then moved to project 2 on the list.  Fingerless Mitts !  I used a sport weight yarn and ended up with a bunch left over.  Thinking another pair of mitts or a hat!

Since these went fast I cast on for October’s Project.  Selago Sunset.  I’m using yarn I’ve had forever and never found a good enough pattern for.  Has that ever happened to you?  I spent too much on the yarn and nothing seems perfect enough for it.

I hope to finish this early too!  Fingers crossed

    Love the mitts and know exactly what you mean - I have far too much yarn that is waiting for 'the" project to come along!

    Great mitts, and great colour too. A matching toque is a great idea!

    I'm glad you're using some of your "too good to be used" yarn this year! You're definitely on a roll with the projects!

    That is some really lovely yarn you've chosen for those mitts, such pretty colours. A matching set would look great.

    Love the colors of your mitts yarn. Love the sheen that silk adds to yarns.

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!

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!

W.I.P October 13

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!
