Right around this time last year, I boldly declared that 2017 would be my Year of Colorwork. I did 2 small colorwork projects, and then promptly stalled on my first big project for the year, which remains unfinished to this day. 2017 quickly devolved into my Year of Continuous Distraction, with my knitting projects taking… Continue reading Knitting Goals – 2018 edition
It. Is. Done! Sides 1 and 2, completed, put together, and very basic edging applied! I still have an end or two to weave in, and also think I should probably block it somehow. Anyway – very happy with how it turned out. For interested and geeky parties, the 2018 afghan is starting up later… Continue reading Geeked Out
Whew! Finally got my ADVENTurous wrap done on New Year’s Day! Here it is, picturesquely spread out on my washer and dryer. (Excuse of the day for my terrible picture – It has been cloudy and murky out here for the last day and a half and there is not much in the house by… Continue reading That’s a Wrap!
I’m behind on the ADVENTurous wrap knit-along. Like, really behind. It shouldn’t matter. There isn’t really anything riding on this. But I really hate being behind in a knit-along. If I ever invent a time machine, this KAL is one of the things I will go back and fix. That’s how much I hate being behind.… Continue reading Knit Faster!
I am currently 4 rows away from being done with the first triangle (half) of my ADVENTurous wrap, and slightly over a third of the way through putting together my geek-along afghan. When I have achieved a solid halfway in each project, I will do better photos, but for now, here’s where I was on… Continue reading Progress – not a lot, but progress
In the overly long pause since last I posted, I have been having a busy time of it. Busy at work and busy with my craftiness as well. In addition to my Ambah O’Brien knitalong, I finally got everything organized and have started putting my Geek-Along afghan together. I started by organizing my blocks. They… Continue reading Geek Afghan – Assemble!
I’m off for a work trip again this week – this time to Ketchikan AK. I’m anticipating quiet nights in my hotel room, and am bringing 2 already started projects and the stuff to start my ADVENTure wrap when the 1st rolls around! First WIP is the first pair of socks from the Lattes &… Continue reading I Pack Like Ginger
Advent is soon upon us, and with it the vast array of Advent calendars. For anyone who didn’t grow up with this tradition, Advent in most mainstream Christian churches is the four Sundays (and encompassed weekdays) leading up to Christmas. There may be special liturgy, hymns and other activities in this time period of “expectant… Continue reading Advent-ures
Well. As advertised, I have been hammering away at the Geek-Along squares I let build up. This past Sunday, #47 out of 48 was released, and it too is done. So there’s one square left! Then, of course, the next phase of all this begins. But more about that later. For now, here’s what I… Continue reading Antepenultimate Geekery
