I missed last week’s post – I had a work event all day Saturday and then Sunday got away from me so you get a double dose this week. Slow but forward progress on the second Dyad jacket. I’m a bit farther along than this photo and more than halfway done the body. I’m going

This week I cast on for the second Dyad sweater. Not much to see yet – it’ll be a black blob for a while! I also cast on a pair of colorwork striped socks for Socktober. These are the Kitty Cat socks and I’m using a sock set from Moonglow Yarn Co. I’ll be alternating

Here’s what I’ve been working on this week: Slowly getting the garden put in on The Autumn Garden cross-stitch. I’ve been stitching the mums that finish up the left side of the design. I’m about halfway thru with those and then I’ve got some blackbirds and a dragonfly to add to finish up this side.

This week I’ve been working on just a few things: Dyad – I am almost done the first sleeve with just the ribbing to do so I’m going to try to finish that this week and then get the second sleeve halfway done. I’m ready to get this one finished but I’m having a hard

Several finished things this week! First, my Aster blouse is finally done. This is a Colette pattern (no longer in business) and I used the short flutter sleeve option. The fabric is a cotton lawn from Kokka Fabrics. They have lots of interesting Japanese fabrics and this one is very lightweight and drapey. I probably

Having a very nice at-home long weekend this Labor Day. I had lunch out with a friend and we walked around the Santa Fe art market on Saturday but otherwise I’ve been home enjoying some crafting time. I finished the collar on Dyad and the first sleeve on Asterie but since both of those look
