Core Memories and YOP Week 23
This was a very long, grueling week, but I made it through and had some super-fun experiences in the mix. At work, we have a lot of activity as the year-end freeze (no IT changes between mid-December and early January), so I had evening work a couple nights, plus an early Saturday release. Everything seems…
Gratitude and YOP Week 22
I’ve got a variety of topics to touch on as we begin the last month of the calendar year! Let’s get started… Stitched or Still-in-Progress I remained somewhat focused this week, though as you’ll read later, my knitting time was limited throughout the week. And when I wasn’t busy, my knitting mojo was occasionally on…
Rivalry Week and YOP Week 21
It’s Thanksgiving Week, which is nice because it means I only work half the week in my day job. The holiday itself is generally low key, though I’m planning to earn some money via DoorDash on the day since I have no commitments. But the major highlight for me this week is The Game between…
Highs and Lows and YOP Week 20
I have some fun stuff to share this week, but it’s tempered by the head cold that hit me on Friday evening. Thankfully, my symptoms are generally manageable with sleep and medication. I had issues with a sore throat on Friday night, Saturday morning, and Sunday morning – meds and sleep made a big difference!…
Winter Is Coming – YOP Week 19
Brrr. This was the view from my living room window this morning. And yet, the cold weather isn’t expected to last. The current forecast is to be back up in the low 60s (~17C) by Sunday. But this is roller coaster season for the weather and temperatures. I’m glad to have handknits to keep me…
New Month, More Fun – YOP Week 18
Some good stuff this week! October wrapped up with some fun and November is starting strong! Spoiler alert: The Cast-on Conversation starts with a mystery project (Laura Nelkin’s latest). If you don’t want to be spoiled, skim past the photo in that section quickly! Stitched or Still-in-Progress I managed a couple FOs last week, a…
The play, some play, and knitting play – YOP Week 17
I didn’t get a ton of knitting done, but it also wasn’t a quiet week. Stitched or Still-in-Progress I didn’t have a lot of time to knit this week, so only a couple projects got any attention. I managed to finish the first sock on my rainbow striped pair, and I cast on its mate…
Less Knitting, More Play – YOP Week 16
As the title suggests, I have less knitting to share this week because I was busy with some other things. Read on! Stitched or Still-in-Progress I was nearly done with the hooded cowl, Cowltopus MKAL, when I posted last week. I managed to finish up midweek, and then it took a few days to block…
More success and YOP Week 15
Good stuff this week! Stitched or Still-in-Progress I put the most effort into the hooded cowl I’d cast on the week before. One of the benefits of waiting until a mystery pattern is fully released is there’s no longer a mystery! This pattern was primarily intended to work with two sets of gradient minis in…
Final Calendar Quarter Begins and YOP Week 14
How in the world is it October already? I’m stunned!! There are still three months left in the year, and that’s plenty of time to do a lot of things. But it never ceases to amaze me how quickly time passes. I have a few things to summarize from the quarter that has ended. As…
