Fading Back In
Took a break from exercises tonight to pick back up with my Find Your Fade. It has been so gray and cold and bleah, I needed a shot of color!
A Hex On Your Motifs Part 2
A couple weeks ago, I wrote about how I was attempting to design knitting motifs based on hex signs. The exercise is part of the Knitting Seasons creativity thing I have been doing. The hex signs are because I am from eastern Pennsylvania, and am in fact of Pennsylvania German heritage. So hex signs were… Continue reading A Hex On Your Motifs Part 2
Knitting Season Week 2
Sorry for the couple day absence – like much of the US we have been swept up in Marie Kondoing our house. It is much more physically and emotionally exhausting than the show makes it look 🙂 We are taking it pretty slowly, but making some progress. Undoubtedly this is going to take a while.… Continue reading Knitting Season Week 2
Cats Just See Napping Spots
I have spent so much time rummaging around in my scraps bin lately that I moved it out of the crafty storage area and put it in our room in an out-of-the-way area so I can get at it more easily. Then the cats started laying on it, naturally, because what else would you do… Continue reading Cats Just See Napping Spots

Yarny Chaos
Today a bunch of things got started but none of it looks like much yet 🙂 More on these topics in the next couple of days!
Sample Gansey Progress
I didn’t have a lot of knitting time today, as I had to get some chores done, and we had a few more errands to run, but I did get a little time in on the sample gansey, aka Dolores’ gansey. One of the features of ganseys is adding the wearer’s initials on the bottom… Continue reading Sample Gansey Progress
A Hex on Your Motifs
Earlier this week, I told you about the motif designing exercise I needed to do as part of the Kate Davies Knitting Season thing. It took pretending I had an actual deadline and stressing myself out about it, but I finally got the assignment done! I wound up doing two motifs because I couldn’t narrow… Continue reading A Hex on Your Motifs
