Year of Projects 2026-2027: Weeks 5 and 6

We had a nice (albeit VERY HOT) vacation in Colorado last weekend, so you get a 2-week recap this week. (Colorado trip post shortly!) Here’s what I worked on:

Craggy Shore Socks: Almost done these. I have just one pattern repeat and the toe to finish on sock 2, although disclaimer note: I will probably unpick and reknit the toe of sock 1. It has an odd section at one corner I don’t like.

Antipodes Sweater: This is Andrea Mowry’s “Rhinebeck sweater” for this year. I’m not going to Rhinebeck and I don’t really knit this kind of group project but I liked the sweater and The Farmer’s Daughter had a kit in colors that were so me, I couldn’t resist and treated myself for my birthday in July. I have the back yoke finished and I’ve picked up stitches to work the back panels. I’m using the called-for TFD Confluence (Rambouillet and cotton) and Spincycle Yarns fingering weight.

Transfer Point: I finally got this one back on track after I missed one set of instructions but this is knitting up quickly and it was a great travel project.

Sleepy Hollow Blanket (New): I was gifted this blanket kit from Green Letter Day by a dear friend last year for my birthday and I thought it was about time to get it started. The pattern is pretty simple, just crocheted circles-in-squares, but the colors really carry this one. Everything about it says “FALL!” (Which I am very ready for.) Not a ton of progress. It took a while to just wind the yarn, but here are the first 3 squares (out of probably 132).

Otherwise, I’ve worked a very little bit on my Supernova quilt but not really enough to show you there. So that’s it for this week’s update!

  1. Absolutely beautiful projects. The socks look great. Is that just ribbing? The shawl looks great. Very pretty yarn choices for the Rhinebeck sweater even if you aren’t going (too many people for me!!!). Those squares for the crochet blanket look fun.

  2. I really love those socks! You find the best sock patterns. I really love the way the yarn works in that stitch.

    The crocheted blanket squares look fun, too! I’ve been considering starting a granny square blanket, but I have too much on the needles right now to add that. I’ll enjoy your crochet squares vicariously instead. 😉
