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…

I picked this fun pattern up as a quilt kit from Pastry Shop Quilts on Etsy because I fell in love with the fun fabrics. It’s a pretty basic star pattern with sashing but I think the fabrics elevate it a bit. There’s this fabric with robins and gold flowers and this alternates with a…

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’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…

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…

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…
