I have so many WIPs going on right now, my knitting bag / basket / project area is starting to overflow. I started taking a look at what was in there to see if there was anything I could possibly move along. I started a Reversible Crochet Baby Blanket earlier this spring intending to give… Continue reading FO Friday – Blanket

A new shawl, new book, new socks
Last week in my WIP Wednesday post, I had just downloaded a new book for the kindle. I haven't even looked at that book once because on Thursday I got the notice from the library that Me Before You was in for me to pick up. I have had trouble putting it down, it's fantastic.… Continue reading A new shawl, new book, new socks
Impractical.
This was a tricky listicle to come up with, in my opinion. Impractical things - huh. I know them when I see them. And then I started to take a look around. 1. My Ravelry Queue. 36 pages, 1054 items. You've heard of S.A.B.L.E (Stash Acquisition Beyond Life Expectancy) I think I may have a… Continue reading Impractical.
FO Friday: Stripe Study
as I am so very excited that I finished my Stripe Study shawl. The first mini-collage was right after I cast off. This was my second project as part of Camp Loopy with The Loopy Ewe. The pattern is so straight forward and perfect for tv-knitting, if you do that sort of thing. This was… Continue reading FO Friday: Stripe Study
New Project, New Book
It's Wednesday again, time for WIP Wednesday & Yarn Along! I finished up my Stripe Study (yay!) so you'll have to wait until Friday for that report. I have other secret projects I'm working on and in the "downtime" until the next Camp Loopy project starts (tomorrow! I have to get my yarn wound!) I… Continue reading New Project, New Book
Monday Listicle: Life with Kids
I haven't done a listicle in a while, but I could not resist the prompt for today. When I started blogging I think most of the posts featured Jackson, my first "kid", in some way or another. It still happens now that I might meet someone who reads this blog and they know Jackson! Then… Continue reading Monday Listicle: Life with Kids
Random 5 Friday
I don't have any FO's to share, but wanted to blog something, so I went looking for ideas and found Random 5 Friday. That works! 1. "Yunchtime, mommy?" asks this kiddo. Everyday when we get home after dropping his sister off at camp. 9:15am, looking for "Yunch" after eating a decent breakfast. Maybe it's a… Continue reading Random 5 Friday
Almost at the End!
I am so close to being in the final stretch of my Stripe Study shawl -colored stripe #12 to go, then on to the last grey section! I even dreamt about this shawl last night, that was a first. Garter stitch is just so soothing. The rows are getting longer, so it feels like it… Continue reading Almost at the End!
Socks and a Rattle – FO Friday!
When I think of the projects I have to share this week I mostly think, FINALLY - it's about time! My Jelly Bean socks, were started in August 2012 as part of a KAL! The delay in finishing these is due purely to my own distractions. The yarn is Green Mountain Spinnery Sock Art -… Continue reading Socks and a Rattle – FO Friday!
WIP & Yarn Along
How are you holding up in the heat? I am thankful to have the air conditioner on, but I do wish it wasn't running full all the time. I hate to sweat, so I'm a bit more crabby lately. Last week (or maybe the week before) I tried a "Homemade Slushee" recipe I found on… Continue reading WIP & Yarn Along
