Jane Austen quilt

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…

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 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…

This wound up being the week where I finished a few smaller things and they also were what took up most of my crafting time, so this post will serve double-duty as my weekly update and as a quick FO post. Norrland Hat: This project was my main focus and despite being fussy to work,…

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…

I finished up several things this weekend. Sunday a.m. we woke up to rain (which hardly ever happens here and definitely not in November!) and I enjoyed a full hour of knitting with a cup of coffee while I sat and listened to it drum on the roof – heavenly! First on the finish list…
