Nothing dramatic going on – just graduate school is taking up a lot of time I would otherwise use here. I am getting a little bit of crafting in though! Progress on the Half Moon Tee! I’m almost to the hem and trying to decide if I want to do a little colorwork band or… Continue reading Since Last Post
Once again, life somewhat got away from me, but for a good reason. Last weekend I went to a knitting retreat in Madison WI and had some great classes, two of which were with Native Knitter Jennifer Berg! The retreat was organized by The Sow’s Ear yarn shop, which I have written about a few… Continue reading Knitting Retreat
It’s that time of year – time to put regular crafting on hold and switch over to all Halloween all the time! One current project is a sweater started earlier this year, and I have also started a cross stitch project for the first time in many years. The sweater is the Half Moon tee… Continue reading Thursday ThWIPs
Earlier this week I finally finished my Mostly Ghostly sweater, which was started around this time last year and put on hold for quite a while. The pattern is Fall Favorites Collection by Meghan Regan and is the Mostly Ghostly pattern option. I have made this sweater 3 other times so far, twice for myself… Continue reading Scary Sweater Sunday!
Earlier this month DH and I went on a road trip through Michigan and north Wisconsin, in a trip that involved a surprising number of boats. We started out by taking the car ferry (the SS Badger) from Wisconsin to Michigan, which was a fun trip! It takes about 4 hours to cross Lake Michigan,… Continue reading Michigan Road Trip

However, I do have some knit-related things to share from the trip. First, I got to just one yarn shop on the trip –… Continue reading There and Back Again: Another Road Trip!

The sleeves are even, it’s just hanging on the hangar goofy. The back and sleeves are plain, so the front is… Continue reading Not One, but TWO FOs this Tuesday
Things are looking up somewhat in the garden! We got some nice rain yesterday and overnight, so this is the first day I haven’t had to water in quite a while. The vegetable boxes are all doing pretty well, though not entirely to plan. But that is OK! We have a lot of green tomatoes,… Continue reading Agriculture Report
I have 3 active projects in the works right now, which is probably too many. However, that happens sometimes 🙂 k My argyle cardigan is coming right along – the body is done, and I’m about halfway with the sleeves. It’s taking a while because it’s just boring old stockinette. However, I want this thing… Continue reading Wednesday WIPs!
