A Day With No Knitting
Between the crazy at work and the buildup of neglected chores at home, there was no knitting time at all today. So here’s a picture of our tree with some currently falling snow 🙂
Sock It To Me Monday
The WW socks are moving along pretty nicely! I believe I have the rest of this blue and white stripe repeat, one more round of the red and gold, and then I will be about out. I have 30 grams of yarn left total – will likely start the cuff ribbing when I am down… Continue reading Sock It To Me Monday
Addendum to The Plan
When I set out my knitting plan for 2020, I planned to do 6 sweaters. 5 were already picked out, and there were a few more under consideration for #6. What I finally decided on was Arachne by Andi Satterlund – part of her Spooky collection from last Halloween. I have some lovely purple yarn… Continue reading Addendum to The Plan

Sock It To Me Monday
The Wonder Woman socks are coming along! By the scale I have 43 grams of yarn left, so I’m a bit over halfway. I just did the first leg increase, and have a few more to go. So far they fit really well 🙂 I’m a little bothered by the way the heel messed up… Continue reading Sock It To Me Monday
Trunk Show!
Well, I had another rare treat this weekend – a yarn dyer trunk show! The dyer is Northern Bee, who used to be in Juneau AK and now lives in Wisconsin. She comes up to AK every year to dye yarn for local shops, and this year she decided to do a trunk show with… Continue reading Trunk Show!
Happy Lunar New Year!
This afternoon DH and I went to a Chinese New Year tea at one of our local tea shops – Indigo Tea Lounge. We went to this same event last year, and it was mostly the same – a huge bunch of delicious food, tasty tea, and some fun treats to take home 🙂 Here… Continue reading Happy Lunar New Year!
