Suddenly I have a dozen little projects! The shawl project is started. 1 down, 28.5 to go (I’m around halfway with #2). Though I’m not going to rush through that one. If it takes all year, it does. There’s no need to hurry at all. I have a new felting experiment to share, a little… Continue reading Projects, Projects Everywhere!
Sorry for the radio silence the last couple of days – we went for a weekend adventure in Seward! Seward is a couple hour drive from Anchorage, and is one of the weekend getaway destinations we like to head to once or twice a year or so. Also sorry that this is going to be… Continue reading Short Adventure Weekend
Slightly less than a year ago, I finished a pair of socks that feature the Loch Ness monster and are done in sparkly gradient yarn. I was pretty excited, because who doesn’t love Nessie? And sparkly gradient yarn? And then I tried them on. WAY too big. They were top down, so I couldn’t really… Continue reading Nessie to the Frog Pond
I’m feeling that sort of blah that you sometimes get after you are done with a big project. So no big news to report, but a few small things. First, I copied a page out of Alyssa at Headknits book and signed up for the Livestock Conservancy’s Shave’Em to Save ‘Em program. Basically, it encourages… Continue reading Randomness Roundup
A few teas I ordered from Harney & Sons just got here on Saturday, and I have a few new ones in the mix. The Molly Hatch Camilla’s Blend is a really tasty fruity black tea – plum and cherry are the main fruit flavors I got when trying it out. It is delicious, and… Continue reading Novel Tea
We are having what looks like it might be spring going on here. I’m being very cautious about it, because “that 2 weeks in March that make you think it’s spring” is famous hereabouts. Mostly after that two weeks, it snows a bunch again, cruelly dashing all our hopes and bringing coats and boots back… Continue reading Spring is Possibly Springing
The last big project is winding down, so it’s time to think about what’s next! This weekend I plan to start by putting in some serious time on my Fade and see how far I can get with it before distraction carries me off again. April 1 we will see the details of the next… Continue reading Up Next
Today was a quiet at-home day for a change, so I had a chance to get my cowl pattern mostly written out and formatted as well as some other yarn chores. I got some new acquisitions put away, and some of the bins reorganized so they will work out better with current activity. Finally, I… Continue reading Quiet Yarny Day
Well apparently “overboard” is the theme for this week. I got this month’s Tea of the Month from Harney & Sons, and it seems like they were feeling crazy too. I was kind of guessing they were going to go with Irish Breakfast or something similar to continue on with their seasonal theme. But nope,… Continue reading Tea Time – Overboard Edition
