I’ve got two projects going right now – my gansey and a pair of plain socks for myself. The gansey is moving along pretty well. I finished the bottom section including my initials, which you can kind of see here. Now I’m starting the pattern section, so pretty excited about that piece! The other project is… Continue reading Thursday ThWIPs
Like much of the US, we got whacked with a lot of snow Friday and over the weekend. So much of our time has been spent shoveling out and staying warm. The upper right picture is our back yarn, the other three are the front of the house at various points in our snowmageddon. I… Continue reading Snowstorms and Big Plans
My Mom’s Latvian Christmas mittens are done! They took a while to finish, but I am happy with how they turned out. Mom is too – right after I wove in the last end, she put them on and walked away with them. They haven’t been blocked, and I suspect they won’t be.

Sorry for the long absence – I have been missing everyone! Between the holidays and a bunch of big projects at work, the last few weeks have been a whirlwind of activity. However, things have calmed down somewhat, so I should be back to posting regularly again. Looking forward to catching up with everyone’s posts!
Still moving along on both the same projects! Powdermill is progressing slowly but surely The first of Mom’s Christmas mittens is done except for the thumb, and I’ve got a good start on the second. I’m waiting to see how much of the accent yarns I have left after the second mitten is done. I’d like… Continue reading Wednesday WIPs
Yaaaaayyy! We finally got some lights up! It’s not much, but it’s something. We did get some decorating done indoors, but since we still have chaos and boxes everywhere, I’m not going to share pics of that this year. Do you decorate outside your house for Christmas or Solstice or the winter holiday of your choice?
