I had a pretty fibery weekend! Yesterday I went to a beginner’s drop spindle class, and I am so glad I did. I did try using a spindle earlier this year and did manage to make a yarn-ish substance with a little help from YouTube and Bluprint. However, I kept feeling like I was doing… Continue reading Fiberific Weekend with Even More Archaeology
This evening I binge-watched all four episodes of Digging For Britain Season 1 on Amazon while working on my SIL’s Soft Pretzel socks. I only have 3 more rows of ribbing to do, and also now I know what’s up with British archaeology these days!
This has been a pretty turbulent week. I’ve had a couple minor bombs go off in my life this week, and some people around me have had some big ones. But I definitely have plenty of things to be thankful for, both this week and always. I am thankful for pretty good health. I am… Continue reading Thankful Thursday
It’s been a bit of a week so far, so I gave myself permission to start a new project rather than the socks or Perfect Blend. One of these projects will be going in to work with me for a lunchtime project, but not quite yet. Anyway. I started a project using a new-to-me technique… Continue reading So Much for Focus

I’m a little bit struggling with it – it’s not difficult, but for some reason focus is not easy right now. But… Continue reading Sock It To Me Monday

I spent most of my knitting time yesterday and today working on my SIL’s socks, but will post about that Monday. The other thing I have been making some progress on is my Perfect Blend shawl. It was my lunchtime/desk knitting for a while, but the rows got too long for that, so it came… Continue reading Perfect Blend Progress
Well, yesterday was the last day for both of my countdown to Halloween mini-skein sets! Two Halloween miniskein sets? Yes. It was semi- inadvertent. It’s a long story involving a misconception on my part and also yarn shopping while drinking a gin and tonic. Anyway. The first set consists of 31 mini-skeins with colorways based… Continue reading Have Mini-Skeins, Will Knit…Something
