Hooray for getting things finished! I'm now in a weird lull - I have many WIPs that are not calling to me, and other projects I want to start but that requires the effort of gathering all the supplies. Hopefully sharing the latest finished items will get that mojo moving in the right direction! First… Continue reading Finished and almost satisfied

Try and Try Again
I'm pretty pleased with my progress on the projects this week, even if one in the picture was a do-over. The brown fuzzy blob is the Cody Cardi (two balls in, I've made it to the 2nd buttonhole) and it continues to be fuzzy. And it sheds. I am a dog lover but my dog… Continue reading Try and Try Again
FO Friday
Hello Friday! I am very excited to share this project this week. It's an amineko / crochet cat friend - around here we affectionately refer to them as "HeartCats". This is a custom project, specially requested for a new baby who is also facing some heart issues. As before, I used Plymouth Sockotta held doubled.… Continue reading FO Friday
Warming Up
My FOs that I have to share are part of the Marathon of Warmth. I've made two hats and a cowl (386 yards down!) and soon they will be sent out to HatLoveKnits. I really enjoyed working with both of these patterns and the yarns. The teal hat is a Wurm in SimpliWorsted. This one… Continue reading Warming Up
A Bunny Buddy
I finished up this little bunny rattle last week for a visit to see my niece last weekend. It is actually a rattle, and the pattern is very simple. He's cute and I would make this again. I had a bit of trouble taking a good picture to show the scale - the whale bag… Continue reading A Bunny Buddy
Acheivement Unlocked: Aunt Status!
I am super excited for this FO Friday as I can finally share a few items that have been under wraps for a while. My niece, Violet, made her arrival last weekend and she is just wonderful. Little Violet is surrounded by a great number of handcrafters - her crib has a beautiful quilt and… Continue reading Acheivement Unlocked: Aunt Status!
Shawl, Socks and a Dino WIP
We're in the back-to-school-prep-zone this week. Why do I want to start a million new projects (not necessarily knitting or crochet related) when I know there is only so much time in the day? A new school year feels like a fresh start, even if I am not the student anymore. In between party prep,… Continue reading Shawl, Socks and a Dino WIP
Progress
Going for the short and sweet version today. Reading: I finished Me Before You and would totally recommend it. Impulsively I grabbed The Woman Upstairs at the library from the 7-day loan section. It's slow going, mostly because I keep stopping to re-read passages. I really like this main character. Sadly, I'm only 40 pages… Continue reading Progress
FO Friday – Blanket
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
