DH had cataract surgery this morning, which meant I had a good couple hours in various waiting rooms today. He came through it just fine and so far it seems to have gone really well. And I got a couple inches done on my socks! I tried to get a picture of them in the… Continue reading Waiting
Making progress on my Dockside cardigan! In other WIP news, last week I took the start of a hat in to work as my lunch/boring meeting project. There are some socks ready to go in next, but right now it’s cold and I need a new hat – one with a longer brim that will… Continue reading WIP Wednesday
The Wonder Woman socks are coming along! By the scale I have 43 grams of yarn left, so I’m a bit over halfway. I just did the first leg increase, and have a few more to go. So far they fit really well 🙂 I’m a little bothered by the way the heel messed up… Continue reading Sock It To Me Monday

Here are her questions: Do you practice self-care? Is it a term… Continue reading Self-Care Quiz

On the fronts the line of the ribbing changing to stockinette forms angles in to the center. There is a similar slant on the sleeves. It’s not a lot… Continue reading Progress on Both Fronts
This weekend I finally got started on a project I have been meaning to do for some time – a spreadsheet of all the projects I would like to make. I have been working on what characteristics I wanted on the spreadsheet and how I wanted it organized, and finally got going on it! I… Continue reading Excelling at Organization
The Wonder Woman socks are moving along pretty nicely now. I did gusset heels, which took a lot of calculation and second guessing, but they worked out all right. It did mess up the stripe pattern somewhat, but that is OK as well. I tried them on after turning the heels, and they fit really… Continue reading Sock It To Me Monday
