Sweater Spotlight: Body Building
It’s been five weeks since I cast on this sweater; and while I was slow to get moving on it after casting on, I’ve managed to gain momentum fairly well. Last week I joined the front to the back, so now I’m working in the round as I lengthen the body. The chart row varies…
Hello Fall – Year of Projects Week 15
While the Autumnal Equinox happened three weeks ago, it has finally started to feel like it here in central Ohio. I managed to do a fair amount of knitting during the course of the week, and I had some entertainment to accompany me. I spent a fair amount of time watching baseball as the Cleveland…
Sweater Spotlight: A Hug Around the Neck
While my sweater progress stalled big-time in September, I’ve managed to step up my efforts in October to get back on track. It would be very cool to have this piece done in time to wear for Christmas, but I’m not going to get too excited just yet. The very nice thing about this project…
Catching Up and Year of Projects Week 14
My post last week was very late, so I’m determined to get this week’s update in a timely manner. I also shared last week that I’d fallen behind on my big project for the rest of the year, and I’m happy to say I’ve made decent progress there! I’m still a couple weeks behind my…
Behind Schedule but Moving Forward – Year of Projects Week 13
It’s Friday, not my usual Monday post, and I still have lots to share from my travel adventure from two weeks ago. This is just another example of time racing on whether we take time to reflect or not! I finally have a more detailed account of my Philadelphia excursion, though only a few photos.…
Travel with a Side of History and Year of Projects Week 12
It’s Monday morning and my vacation weekend is nearly over. I’m sitting in my hotel room thinking through my steps to pack up and leave in about ninety minutes, to be followed by a seven-ish hour drive home. Let’s see if I can give you my update for the week in the remaining time! Lots…
Football Season Means a Knitting Frenzy – Year of Projects Week 11
The NFL season kicked off on Wednesday, which means the Down Cellar Studio Pigskin Party is underway! I even managed to finish something. Lots of stuff to share… Stitched or Still-in-Progress Since I had finished nearly every project I had in progress (no spinning), my primary active WIP was my DVD sock yarn blanket. My…
Itching to Cast On All the Things – Year of Projects Week 10
The NFL season opens this week, which also means the Down Cellar Studio Pigskin Party kicks off! I’m very excited for this, but it also means I have two more days before I can cast something on. Gasp! I mean, yes, I could cast on something new, but if it won’t count for the make-along,…
Sweater Spotlight: Got Gauge
The Down Cellar Studio Pigskin Party kicks off in a week. I’ve been doing a lot of planning and prepping for this annual make-along event. One of my most anticipated projects is my next Aran sweater, my third sweater project from Irish yarn purchased in 2024. This type of project is what inspired this blog,…
Wild Imagination and Year of Projects Week 9
My grandson’s brain has been “on fire” this week, so I have a number of fun things to share about him. Also, my needles have been active as usual as I’m working to clear them ahead of the Down Cellar Studio Pigskin Party (PSP) that starts next week. I’ve been spending much of my knitting…
