Year of Projects 22/23: Week Thirteen
Well it’s been a few weeks since I last posted. I’ve been doing bits and pieces but nothing really of any note, and I’ve been quite busy with the house reorganisation. Things have been plodding along very slowly, so here’s a quick update to try and inspire me to get things finished. Crafting: I’m nearly … Continue reading “Year of Projects 22/23: Week Thirteen”
Breed Study: Mohair #1
I’ve been wanting to get started on a breed study for a while now but, well, I can be kinda lazy and easily sidetracked. So since discovering a mohair sample pack this week in my frenzy of reorganising my stash, I thought I’d make the most of the good weather to make a start on … Continue reading “Breed Study: Mohair #1”
Year of Projects 22/3: Week Nine
It’s been a hectic few weeks here so I’ve missed an update and still have very little to show for it. I’ve made some progress on my embroidery and some on my shawl. Unfortunately my shawl has seen one of those weeks where I have knitted and frogged the same six rows over and over … Continue reading “Year of Projects 22/3: Week Nine”
Year of Projects 2022/23: Week Seven
It’s been a scorcher of the week here, and we’re pretty cool compared to more inland regions. We’re not officially into hosepipe ban territory but we should be by the end of the week. I’m trying to only water the parts of the garden in most need at the moment, which is basically my tomatoes … Continue reading “Year of Projects 2022/23: Week Seven”
WIP Wednesday
I’m so slow with my crafting that I don’t often post a WIP Wednesday as I have rarely made enough progress between my YOP updates to merit one. However this week I’m trying out something new so here’s a quick look. I’ve been meaning to take a look at embroidery for a while now and … Continue reading “WIP Wednesday”
Year of Projects 2022/23: Week Six
A slow week this week on the crafting side as I was away in Hay on Wye for a few days this week. We like to head here a few times a year for a slow (if expensive) few days of eating, drinking, and trawling bookshops. For as long as I can remember Hay Castle … Continue reading “Year of Projects 2022/23: Week Six”
Year of Projects 2022/23: Week Five
The Tour’s over so I’m finally back to knitting. My cable needle inexplicably disappeared for several days (it was exactly where it should be and where I’d looked several times…) so instead of carrying on with my Ogopogo socks I cast on a new project. I picked up this yarn earlier in the year at … Continue reading “Year of Projects 2022/23: Week Five”
Year of Projects 2022/23: Week Four
It’s just a quick spinning update from me. I haven’t managed as much spinning in terms of completed skeins this TdF but I have spun most days which has been a nice change and I’m super pleased to have finished up two long term spinning projects. I finished up the 12 Days of Christmas Hilltop … Continue reading “Year of Projects 2022/23: Week Four”
Year of Projects 22/3: Week Three
This week has still been all about the Tour for me. I finished up the first half of my lace weight yarn . It ended up 48g and 380m so I’m on target for an 800m skein at the end of things. I think this will make a heavy weight lace in the end. I’m … Continue reading “Year of Projects 22/3: Week Three”
Year of Projects 22/23: Week Two
Well it’s been a busy week this week. Sadly not on the crafting front so much. Wednesday was super busy at work due to staff shortages so between that and watching things unfold in Parliament I didn’t get much spinning done that day. Thursday was my partner’s birthday (and still partly glued to what was … Continue reading “Year of Projects 22/23: Week Two”
