100 Day Project
-
A mixed bag this week – I worked on several things, although nothing with much focused attention except for my 100-days Project (More on that below.) Jane Austen Quilt: No pictures to show but I did prep the second leaf/vine border motifs and made a very small start on getting those stitched down. I should…

Things are busy here right now. Trying to maintain some time for crafty things but work has gotten kind of overwhelming (still down a person in our department – although we are interviewing this week hopefully! – in the midst of a major company overhaul project – and I’ve stepped into a role with more…

First off, the bad news. The dyer was not able to source another skein of yarn to finish my Graerup Slipover. I think if I hadn’t already frogged the entire back once I might have tried to see if I could figure something else out but at this point, I am just going to frog…

I thought I might not have much to talk about this week. Work has been really hectic. (We were already down 1 person from my small department, and another person left suddenly a week ago, so now it’s just me, my boss and one part-time contractor and we’re all just trying to keep things afloat…

Here’s what I worked on this week: Painted Plains Scarf: I am happy to say this one is done. It always takes me forever to get thru a scarf – I just lose interest with them, I guess? Which is unfortunate since they are such great gifts, as this one will be. I modified the…

Here’s what I worked on this week: Tea Leaves Socks: These are finished and I love them. The pattern is from Carlie Perrins and is the perfect mix of not-to-difficult stitch patterns that looks much more complex than they are to actually knit up. This not-quite neutral is Long Dog Yarn’s Sock in Riders of…

Happy Easter weekend if you celebrate that – and otherwise happy weekend 😊. This week I worked on: Shimmer Sky Quilts: I got this pair of quilts back from the longarm quilter and they are ready for binding. I had Matt quilt them with similar but not 100% matching swirling star patterns. I’ll share more…

Back from visiting my folks on the east coast. A great trip but also a LONG commute back here to New Mexico. (I am a morning person but 6 a.m. flights are EARLY!) I’ve got a finish and a few other things I worked on this week to share. First up, I finished my Faded…

A finish this week and a few steps forward on a couple other things: Striped Granny Chevron Blanket: I worked on this pretty steadily this week and it paid off with a finish. I did wind up frogging the border and re-crocheting it but it wasn’t too bad. I cobbled this one together with a…

This week was mostly 2 steps forward, 1 (or more steps) back for crafty things. Let’s get into it. Day 15 of The 100 Days Project: Here are my hexistars. Delighted that I’ve been able to keep up with these. I think 125 or so will make a nice-sized table runner so I may do…
