We’re halfway through this year of projects. I will have a separate post in a day or two on how I’m doing with all of my proposed projects for the 52-week period. (Spoiler alert: Actually pretty good.) Here’s what I worked on this week. Book Club Cardigan: I have the back to the point where…

Most of my craft time this week was spent putting the binding on my Birds and Bees quilt. I will have a separate post on that now that it’s finished in a day or two. Otherwise I worked on: Book Club Cardigan: I’m working my way down the back. It’s all just straight “work in…

I started this shawl in January 2025 and finished it this week (December 13, 2025). Absolutely no reason on earth why it took me this long because I enjoyed the entire process of creating it. Design is by Inese Sang who has several other lovely shawl patterns I’d like to make. The pattern is well-written…

I’m delighted to say I have finished up my Bloom shawl this week. It’s currently blocking so I’ll do a separate post around it later this week. With that done, here’s what I’m working on currently: I have started back to work on my Book Club Cardigan by Sari Nordlund. I’m using Berocco Blackstone Tweed…

I finished up the second of the Dyad samples I was making for designer Kate Oates. The base design is a worsted weight, surplice-front jacket with long sleeves. It is worked mostly in stockinette with the reverse side showing, and several slip-stitch “seams” at the sides, center back and along the raglan shaping. The jacket…

Limited things to share this week as I just put my head down and plowed along to finish up Dyad. I’ll have a more detailed FO post on it this week but it is done and blocked! I am also super close to a finish on The Autumn Garden. Just a few more leaves and…

This week I mostly focused on the Dyad sweater sample as I want to get it finished up and shipped to the designer along with the green one I knit in September. I finished the first sleeve and this week I plan to concentrate on sleeve 2 to get it finished up. I had kind…

We’ve been enjoying a few warm sunny days here although we did build the first woodstove fire of the season this weekend which was lovely. Here’s what I worked on this weekend. A very quick start and finish of the Everyday Brew hat by Clare Devine. I have had this pattern in my library for…
