My weekly pile of projects! It's relatively small this week, as the bulk of my time was spent on my 30 Day Sweater Challenge (and then, ripping it out). I worked on the dinosaur tummy panel during a meeting, and his tail was started during a car ride. The stripey socks have the heel flaps… Continue reading Stripes and blobs

Steps forward, steps back
I was so excited last night about my knitting. I have been diligent about working my way through the 30 Day Sweater ebook recipe for a basic long sleeve pullover. I really like how it is broken down into a percentage to work each day. It has been manageable, and that's impressive if you also… Continue reading Steps forward, steps back
Decisions on WIP Wednesday
Here's my pleasant pile of projects and what I'm perusing. I'm on the button-hole band of my Morning Coffee and I've hit a wall (it's all mostly mental). Part one: The buttons are still to be determined! I bought a set at the CT Sheep and Wool this spring, but a) I don't absolutely love… Continue reading Decisions on WIP Wednesday
Waiting on WIP Wednesday
Today is a tough day. Violet is having open heart surgery. I'm waiting, hoping, praying, and sending as many positive thoughts as I can out into the universe. I am welcoming distractions of my own kids and work, and my yarn is not far (right next to my computer actually, and at my feet). I… Continue reading Waiting on WIP Wednesday
It Does Not Look Like Much
This week I dug out my Morning Coffee sweater and was very pleased to see that I had maybe half a sleeve to finish on the body. I took care of that over the weekend. The purple blob on the right side of the photo is the collar (mostly knit while catching up on Breaking… Continue reading It Does Not Look Like Much
Weekend and Crushes
How was your weekend? I really enjoyed mine - Saturday was full of swim lessons (and a Hello! to Heather, fellow knitter!), rediscovering a hibernating project, podcasts, watching Fiber Factor, dinner out, and a fire in the new fire bowl. Sunday involved a whirlwind trip to New York to see "Book of Mormon" with my… Continue reading Weekend and Crushes
Nothing but a mess
Hello Wednesday. It's September 11, a day that will always make me stop, for more than a moment. Remember what happened, and remember what happened next. There was a lot of knitting amid the mess. And that will take me into my WIPs for this week. I have finished a few projects, started / stopped… Continue reading Nothing but a mess
September Starts with Socks
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
Fiddly WIPs
It's the Wednesday before school starts and life is fiddly. We are getting ready for the start of Kindergarten for the Lorax and early preschool for the Nutmeg. I have what feels like a million things going on in my head (label this, read that, pay attention to this schedule, wait! who needs shoes /… Continue reading Fiddly WIPs
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
