First Finishes & Spiral Cowl WIP

January 20, 2016 Becca2 Comments

I'm feeling pretty good about the knits this week. I have my first FO of 2016, a pair of Cindersmoke Mittens! So often I knit out of season, but it's been very cold waiting for the bus with the kids and there's a big snow storm coming (do you have your bread and milk stockpiled?).… Continue reading First Finishes & Spiral Cowl WIP

Poppins and Plans

January 6, 2016 Becca3 Comments

I am this close --><-- to having my current sample knitting project finished so that has had all my focus for my knitting time this week. We could also talk about how I noticed an uncrossed cable that I tried to drop back to fix, and how in doing that I made it worse and… Continue reading Poppins and Plans

Another book started and Sweater Opposites

July 8, 2015 Becca3 Comments

Another week, another book, and unfortunately not because I finished The Secret Place. I would consider picking it up again at some future point, I just couldn't get through it in a week. I had also grabbed Dark Places from the library and I am really glad that I did. I loved Gone Girl and… Continue reading Another book started and Sweater Opposites

Secret Stitches

January 21, 2015 Becca3 Comments

Last night I finished Love Anthony. The story is certainly heart-squeezing and I thought her portrayal of Anthony (the autistic boy / boy with autism) was unique. The story moments from his point of view made me think, but the rest of the story was sort of meh. I didn't cry or weep while reading… Continue reading Secret Stitches

A Lot of Dinosaurs

July 9, 2014 Becca5 Comments

Yay for going to the library. I just finished the Ten-Year Nap (meh. Didn't love it or hate it.), so that went back and The Invention of Wings came home with me. My mom read it and spoke highly of it. We also found a pile of dinosaur related books. I didn't have a dinosaur… Continue reading A Lot of Dinosaurs

A Pile of Yarn, Books, and Plans

July 2, 2014 Becca3 Comments

Who's surprised? Not me. I can't really show you my WIP this week, as it is sample knitting. Also it needs to be finished and sent back, so I'm knitting hardcore on that! Winding the yarn does make me stop, stand up, take a stretch break from being hunched over and knitting, so that's good.… Continue reading A Pile of Yarn, Books, and Plans

Yarn Along June 18

June 18, 2014 Becca5 Comments

I'm including the books I'm reading with my kids for this week's Yarn Along. My son, like most 2.5 year olds, likes repetition. We've been reading and re-reading the same books over and over and that's ok, but I wanted something different. I introduced him to Where the Wild Things Are this week, one of… Continue reading Yarn Along June 18

Wednesday Projects and Books

May 21, 2014 Becca2 Comments

This week has a little bit of everything! I started a new cross stitch project, have been swatching for a new sample knit, and a selfish knit in progress. I also worked on the tube socks for Lorelai and finished them. The sample knit is for Good Karma Farm, using their new sport weight yarn,… Continue reading Wednesday Projects and Books

WIP Wednesday Awesome Girls

April 23, 2014 Becca4 Comments

I like a good theme. This week the theme seems to be "Awesome Girls". I'm knitting an Awesome Girl for a friend on Ravelry. My current pair of in-progress socks I have named "Vigorous Violets" in honor of my niece (who unfortunately is back in the hospital). When I was working the other day, as… Continue reading WIP Wednesday Awesome Girls

September Starts with Socks

September 4, 2013 Becca5 Comments

I have two shareable WIPs this week, both are socks, and both are pretty much at the same point in construction. Sock #1 of the DPH pair is ready for a heel turn. Sock #1 of Lorelai's Knee Highs is also ready for a heel turn. I am pretty sure that I will start the… Continue reading September Starts with Socks
