Well, all is right with the world again! In spite of having a couple stops to make on the way home and a few chores to do once we got home, I still got some knitting in. It’s amazing how much you can get done in one episode of Midsomer Murders – around an inch… Continue reading Yay! Knitting Again!
Into each life, a few days with no knitting must fall. Sadly, today was one of those days. I tried to knit. My Find Your Fade shawl came to work with me for some sneaky lunchtime knitting, but issues kept coming up, and I never got to touch it. This evening was filled with grocery… Continue reading A Day with No Knitting
Today I got two excellent bits of news. First – I am getting a bit thinner! Not a lot, but at least a bit. I have been working on losing weight and getting in better shape, and it is starting to pay off 🙂 I discovered this while reading through the pattern for the gray… Continue reading Happy Day!
I started getting everything together for my next sweater – what I’m hoping will turn out to be a nice gray tank, courtesy of Amy Herzog’s custom fit. Of course next to Dolores’ glam, I feel kind of boring. Suddenly I want an orange caftan and turban too! Maybe not for work, though 🙂
Dolores’ new lounging ensemble, consisting of a luxurious caftan and daring turban with flower accessory, is ready! Just in time for holiday festivities 😉

I will be writing up a final reckoning a little later this month, but the short answer is – I did hit most of them, but missed on… Continue reading To Goal or Not to Goal
Today was a disjointed day in terms of crafting. First and foremost, I made some material progress on Dolores’ caftan, and am about halfway done with the turban that goes with it. Other than that, I took the plunge this morning and bought into Kate Davies pattern club that incorporates bullet journaling somehow. Now that… Continue reading Bits and Pieces
For some reason, documentation of knitting projects is suddenly a thing. Or possibly it has always been a thing, and I just didn’t notice. Whichever, how you plan your knitting and document your projects while they are in progress and after they are done is currently a big deal. Ravelry is, of course, one of… Continue reading Document, Document, Document
Dolores’ caftan is progressing nicely, but still not quite presentable. Hopefully will be there a bit later this week! The other thing I started working on last week was my Find Your Fade shawl. It is not a difficult knit at all. There are alternating sections of garter and a pretty simple lace. The magic… Continue reading Finding My Fade
Quite A Yarn
