Hope everyone who celebrates had a magical Halloween. For everyone else, hope your Monday was good 🙂 My annual yarnstravaganza is over now, leaving me with a lot of miniskeins and some nifty small project kits. Here are the last two of the Fangirl Fibers Cryptids kits: Left is Nessie, which comes with a hat… Continue reading Happy Halloween!!
I finally have a finished object on a Friday! My Bone-a-Fide mitts are done! The pattern and yarn are from the Jimmy Beans Fright club this year. They go nicely with the matching hat. I have quite a bit of both the self-striping and the black yarn left. There is also a cowl pattern with… Continue reading FO Friday
Pattern is Ghost Knitter’s Shawl by Ambah O’Brien. The cream color yarn is Red Fox from Madelintosh, the orange is Witch Teeth tweed from Gnarled Paw yarn, and the stripes are a mini set from Northern Bee (the dyer previously known as A Tree Hugger’s Wife yarn). All from stash! Almost ready for spooooOOoOoky season!

My Ghost Knitter’s shawl is moving along pretty nicely! I’m about 2/3 of the way through the skull lace, so getting near the end of it now. I’m still just working on this one project, but a little antsy to get back to doing 2 or 3!
I have been keeping all of my notes and tasks and trackers and so on in one journal. That’s what the creator of the bujo method recommends, and it also makes a lot of sense. However, recently a nosy person I work with has made it clear she’s looking at my notes, because she started… Continue reading Basic Bullet Journaling – One or More?
