Year of Projects Week Seventeen
What’s the collective noun for unfinished socks? I’m thinking it should be an ‘embarrassment’. Here’s my embarrassment of socks. I just can’t stop starting socks! I was on the home straight with my plain sock until I realised I had messed up the heel turn and I had to rip it all back. I’m hoping … Continue reading “Year of Projects Week Seventeen”
Year of Projects Week Sixteen
I’m having a bit of a sock thing right now and I currently have three pairs on the go. I love how this sock fits so much that I’m casting on another for my partner (since he’s going to be waiting a very long time for the Ogopogo ones). They’re perfect TV knitting. I think … Continue reading “Year of Projects Week Sixteen”
Year of Projects 2021/22 Week Fifteen
This week I’ve been enjoying an easy knit. I’m so impressed with how quickly these can knit up. I haven’t managed to find a lot of opportunities to knit this week but I’ve still managed to mostly complete one sock. Knitting for small feet is definitely much more fun! Most small sock patterns I’ve knitted … Continue reading “Year of Projects 2021/22 Week Fifteen”
Year of Projects 2021/22 Week Fourteen
It’s pretty much just socks for me this week. I’ve made progress on my Ogopogo socks for my partner or as I’m calling them Librarian Sock for Librarian’s Socks as they use Third Vault Yarns Librarian Sock blend. Given my partner’s profession it seemed an apt yarn. I’m starting to wonder why I knit socks … Continue reading “Year of Projects 2021/22 Week Fourteen”
Year of Projects 2021/22 Week Thirteen
A bit of a late update from me this week as yesterday got away from a me a bit. Progress has been slow on various projects but at least it’s being made. My Ogopogo sock has reached the heel. Remind me never to cast on cable socks again. I know I said it last time … Continue reading “Year of Projects 2021/22 Week Thirteen”
Year of Projects 2021/22 Week Twelve
Only a quick update from me today as it’s been a quite week in terms of actually producing anything. I’ve finished the fourth skein in my five skeins gradient spin. This is a 3-ply sweater spin using a Hilltop Cloud Fade pack. I still need to skein and soak it. I’ve also made progress with … Continue reading “Year of Projects 2021/22 Week Twelve”
Year of Projects 2021/22: Week Eleven
Some steady progress this week but nothing much to show for it. I’ve been working away a few rows at a time on my Ogopogo sock (I find cables on socks very fiddly and I really can’t get the hang of cabling without a cable needle). I’ve also finished spinning the second set of singles … Continue reading “Year of Projects 2021/22: Week Eleven”
Finished Object: From Fluff to Stuff
Two weeks after finishing it I’m finally getting around to posting my Mothed FO. I struggled to get gauge with this so I knitted the large hoping for a medium(ish) (why yes, I am terrible with gauge and just hope for the best). Then lockdown happened and I wished I’d knitted the next size up … Continue reading “Finished Object: From Fluff to Stuff”
Year of Projects 2021/22 Week Ten
I mentioned a few weeks ago that I’d been looking at the School of SweetGeorgia classes and after poking around with my two week introductory price I thought I’d stay at least long enough to complete the Spinning Study Group. The main purpose of this nine week class is to think about how to plan … Continue reading “Year of Projects 2021/22 Week Ten”
Starry Night
I’ve had a blending board under my bed for over a year now. I bought it early on in the first UK lockdown thinking investing in crafting materials would probably be a very good investment for the months ahead and then I just never got around to using it. It’s a Golden Fleece Carders blending … Continue reading “Starry Night”
