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

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

Each week the girls from Lattes & Llamas, a yarn and design company, release a new square for Geek-Alongers to complete. They do 48… Continue reading A Few Geekeries More
Around this time last week, I was getting ready for a work trip to Fairbanks, and hoping to finish off my two standing WIPS. And much to my surprise, that is exactly what happened! When I headed out last Monday, I had my long-standing Colorblock shell/top/sweater/whatever. I have been working on this ding-blasted thing since… Continue reading I Love It When a Plan Comes Together!
Since last week, I have made scant progress on my eternal Colorblock sweater, but am making good progress on my annual Halloween socks! Specifically, this year’s socks are Fangtastic by Wendy Gaal, and the yarn is a kit from Knitter’s Brewing Company. My Mom gave it to me as a Christmas present last year, and I… Continue reading Batty For Halloween
Well, once again a week with a little progress! I am positively giddy from things getting done! No, not my Colorblock Top of many previous posts fame. I genuinely do not know what is taking me so long with this thing. It is just straight, plain stockinette, and a sleeveless shell at that! The slubs… Continue reading Wednesday WIP Report
