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…

Here’s what I worked on this week: Graerup Slipover: I finished up the back on this vest, which actually went more quickly than I thought it would. Next up is the front and since there’s no sleeves for this, it’ll just be the arm opening and neckline ribbing to do. Granny Chevron Blanket: I’ve finished…

This week kind of went sideways on me. Several unexpected health things for my husband meant an ER visit and lots of time trying to juggle work and normal errands and sick husband errands. All that to say, this will be a short, somewhat random post this week. One of my goals for February (which…

I don’t have much to show this week. A video shoot for work + several hundred miles of driving meant it wasn’t a great week for crafting. Here are the few bits and bobs I did accomplish. Book Club Cardigan: I finished the right front and picked up stitches for the left shoulder seam so…

I hope everyone had a nice couple of weeks over the holidays and enjoyed some time off work, visiting family, or just staycationing, like we did. Here’s what I worked on this week: Jane Austen Block of the Month prep: I really wanted to get the 2 Shimmer Sky quilt tops done and sent off…

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…

Trying to keep myself accountable to my Year of Projects 2025-2026 list and my HRCYED 2.0 reading list, here’s what I worked on, finished or read this quarter (July-September 2025). You can see my Year of Projects plans overview here. Knitting/Crocheting: I have completed the Asterie Sweater and the Sailing School Socks off the original…

This was the final week of Tour de Fleece so most of my crafting time centered around my spinning. I finished up the Hedgehog Fibres handcarded Corriedale, merino, camel and silk batts with a sportweight 2-ply with 380 yards and 120 g. This really spun up more beautifully than I had imagined. I thought the…
