FO Friday: Cozumel

(I wrote this a few weeks ago, but forgot to hit “Publish”, ha!) I actually finished a thing! It’s been a while since I’ve done that. For the Cozumel cowl I decided to block it flat before grafting the ends together. I took advantage of the heat wave and blocked it outside. I found that…

Knitting Olympics

(USOC can suck it, I’m keeping the title) It’s that time again! The Olympics kicks off tomorrow and I have set practically EVERYTHING to DVR! Which means I’ll be sitting in front of the TV a lot. Which means knitting is happening. This year I’m just gonna see how many socks I can crank out.…

WIP Wednesday: Spin-Along

I’m working diligently on my Woolery spin-along/Tour de Fleece. I’ve been spinning at least a little bit every day except one where I was really busy. I’ll consider that my “rest day” for the Tour. I made a sport weight single sample, a fingering weight single, and another sport weight single so far. The sample…

Tour de Fleece!

Tour de Fleece started on Saturday! If you’re not familiar, it’s a widespread spin-along that follows the schedule of Tour de France. This year I’m using the Tour de Fleece time to focus on a more specific spin-along with The Woolery. This spin-along is focusing on spinning more consistent yarns while aiming for a specific…

FO Friday: The Cursed Socks

I finished these socks back in late April, but I just sort of tossed them on my dresser and ignored them after that. It took me this long to finally take pictures, probably because I sort of resent them. Despite all the pattern’s shortfalls, I DID finish them.  They really are decent socks, though I…

WIP Wednesday: Green

Today is the start of a green-along in remembrance of the classic Ravelry green that was retired last year. What I’m knitting isn’t that particular shade of green, but it is green. I’m knitting the Nouveau Beaded Capelet by Melissa Lemmons. I haven’t found an off-Rav link for it, so I won’t post one here.…

Airtable

Lately I’ve been consumed once again by updating my Airtable with all the Ravelry information I can mine. If you’re able to use Ravelry, but want all your information off the site in case it goes down, this is a good solution. I’m not sure how to obtain all this information about patterns without Ravelry.…

To Do’s and UFOs

I have a huge list of To Do’s that I’ve been avoiding. Mainly it’s because I’m being run ragged by kittens right now. We have bottle babies at the moment that until today were on a 4 hour feeding schedule. We also have a litter of older kittens that are easier to take care of,…

Caturday: Biscuit

Remember the British Bakes? Well, we adopted Biscuit, the mama cat. I know, I know that means we have EIGHT cats now, but honestly, is eight so much harder than seven? My reasoning was this: Biscuit was just sitting at the shelter not getting adopted because they had to put a “no small children” warning…

WIP Wednesday: Spice Route

I’m in an awkward spot in which I have many projects close to being finished. They just need blocking, ends woven in, buttons sewn on, wraps on the niddy noddy counted, yarn washed, etc. The only thing I have left on the needles is this. It’s Spice Route by Louise Zass-Bangham. I only have about…
