Here’s what I worked on this week: Tea Leaves Socks: These are finished and I love them. The pattern is from Carlie Perrins and is the perfect mix of not-to-difficult stitch patterns that looks much more complex than they are to actually knit up. This not-quite neutral is Long Dog Yarn’s Sock in Riders of…

Happy Easter weekend if you celebrate that – and otherwise happy weekend 😊. This week I worked on: Shimmer Sky Quilts: I got this pair of quilts back from the longarm quilter and they are ready for binding. I had Matt quilt them with similar but not 100% matching swirling star patterns. I’ll share more…

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…

Let’s start off this week with a finish, shall we? This is the Mushroom Hat, designed by Lotta Lothgren. I believe it may be available as a standalone pattern now but I have the entire pattern collection, Observations, that it appears in. I used 2 colors of DK-weight merino for mine. I doubled the length…

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…

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…

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…

I finished up the first Dyad sample this week. If you’d like to read more details about it, you can see the post I wrote here. I will be winding yarn to start the second sample this week. I have added in a few rows on my Painted Plains Scarf. I kind of need to…

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…
