We're in a bit of a thaw right now. It's a very welcome change, but the weather is sure to turn back again. Here's what I'm reading and knitting: I've been making good progress on my Yukon River Socks after a bit of a setback. I thought I might have a bug + yarn… Continue reading Socks and Speculation

Yarn Along January 11 and WIPs
What I'm Reading I have noticed that my reading comes in spurts, mostly in the winter and summer. My Goodreads 2017 Reading Challenge is set a bit higher for the coming year. I've already finished one book, I Let You Go, and have moved on to And Every Morning the Way Home is Longer and… Continue reading Yarn Along January 11 and WIPs
Interestings
So I've been reading and knitting and crocheting and not posting about it! I have two works in progress to share this week and one book. I started on the first Nalu Mitt back in April, and I cannot recall what other project distracted me from them. They are relatively quick and intuitive once you… Continue reading Interestings
A New Perspective on Socks & Sugar
My knitting this week is a bit tricky to photograph. It is a pair of socks, worked two-at-a-time, to fulfill the 2nd semester assignment of Loopy Academy. The assignment is to make a pair of socks: A pair of socks, toe-up or cuff-down, whichever you are least familiar with. If you are equally familiar with… Continue reading A New Perspective on Socks & Sugar
Socks and stripes and a scarf-wearing penguin
I worked on a lot of projects and did a bit of reading last week, thanks in part to Winter Storm Jonas. We ended up with over a foot of snow, currently melting away, but when it was here the whole family did get out in it. I am pleased to report that several handknits… Continue reading Socks and stripes and a scarf-wearing penguin
First Finishes & Spiral Cowl WIP
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
New Books and New Projects
Reading wise, I'm still working my way through Mary Poppins and still think she's a tough cookie! We had a small trip last week and picked up a Junie B. Jones audio book for the car ride. Last summer we listened to a few of the stories in the car and both kids liked them,… Continue reading New Books and New Projects
Winding Down to Start Up Again
Jumping right back in with a WIP Wednesday / Yarn Along project & book post, following an unintentional blog break. On my needles now are a sample knit and my last project for Loopy Academy Sophomore Year / Semester 3. I've also picked up and put down a pair of fingerless mittens for Nate. We… Continue reading Winding Down to Start Up Again
New Books and a WIP Confession
I forgot to include the two books I picked up at Rhinebeck in my earlier post! These were on my mental shopping list and I am enjoying them immensely. Unexpected Cables is by Heather Zoppetti and impresses me more as I stop just flipping through the pages and really take a look at her… Continue reading New Books and a WIP Confession
WIP Wednesday Slip Stitches and Cables
As I mentioned in my last post, I have a number of works in progress. They all suit a current attention span or mood. Do I feel like paying attention to the pattern? Do I love seeing a particular color pop up? Do I need something I can pick up and put down quickly? Yes… Continue reading WIP Wednesday Slip Stitches and Cables
