I’ve got 1 old and 2 new projects actively in the works right now. With Supernova finished off, I picked Back to the Fuchsia up again and made a bit of progress. It’s coming along really well! As for new projects, I started a Halloween sweater KAL with Alissa of Snakes & Cranes and Sarah… Continue reading Weekend WIPs
My Supernova shawl from the Ambah O’Brien MKAL is finally done! I actually did pretty well keeping up until the 5th clue, which was pretty huge. Still not 100% sure about the yellow. However, the rest of the colors kind of tone it down. Sort of. Well, in any case, it’s done! Now back to… Continue reading Supernova Done!
It occurred to me I haven’t shared how the plants on my balcony have been doing in a while. It was a beautiful day out, so I decided to get some pics. All our flowers and the few veggies we planted are doing really well! We have 1 jalapeno, 1 cherry tomato, and 1 regular… Continue reading Agriculture Report
Fishermen’s Knits From the Coast of Norway, by Line Iversen and Margareth Sandvik, is another book that pretty much tells you exactly what it is going to be about and then delivers. It is a somewhat recent book, published in December 2022. It starts with an in-depth look at what life was like for Norwegian… Continue reading Knitter’s Bookshelf: Fishermen’s Knits From the Coast of Norway

This is my Supernova MKAL from Ambah O’Brien. I’m about halfway through clue 4. When it’s done, the unfinished “arm” of… Continue reading Wednesday WIP

We specifically went to see an exhibit of Rodin sculptures they have on display right now, but the Paine mansion and gardens themselves are pretty spectacular. The Rodin exhibit was… Continue reading Adventures in Dairyland – The Paine
It’s that time of year again! Shark Week is coming up, and for some reason the yarn world has embraced it like never before. Not sure how that happened, but I have been taking full advantage and adding to my stash 🙂 I didn’t get all of this at once – it’s been building up… Continue reading Knit Every Week Like It’s Shark Week
Earlier this month, DH and I visited nearby Two Rivers, WI. Other than going to Intertwined yarn shop, we visited Hamilton Wood Type & Printing Museum. The name pretty much tells you what you are going to get, and it did not disappoint. It is housed in an old industrial building, which adds to the… Continue reading Adventures in Dairyland – Hamilton Print Museum
I’ve got the same two projects going as last week, but am making some progress anyway! I’ve got a start on clue 3 of my Supernoval MKAL shawl. It’s moving in an interesting direction now, so I’m interested to see how that goes! And also got started in the 2nd houndstooth section of my Back… Continue reading Thursday ThWIPs
