NaBloPoMo 2017 Day 6

And I continue to stay on track posting every day for National Blog Posting Month!!  Day number 6!

I finished my Mystery Shawl yesterday but it still needs blocking and I have a few tails to tuck in.  I hope to get that done tomorrow!


I got caught up on my Temperature scarf (again).  I was behind by six days...

Once I was done with the shawl I got back on track working on my Coffee Cantata socks.  I really want to get these all done!  I am tired of seeing them on the needles for so long (I cast them on May 29th 2016...)  It is beyond time to get them finished!  I plan to work on these over the next couple days!  I only got a couple rounds done last night...

I also worked on some art projects.  I made myself a small art journal that I plan to work my way through.  It is 28 pages plus the front and back covers.  I'll decorate the covers once the book is all filled up.  I made it using pages from a mixed media book.  I folded the pages in half and then stapled the whole little stack together - I actually got the staples quite close to being on the spine!!  I plan to not use too many embellishments that will thicken the pages too much so that it stays (sort of) closed.  I am excited to work on this little book - it is less daunting than a large surface!

  1. I have way too many unfinished projects. Love the color of your shawl. I've never done a mystery project. Do you find it difficult? I sorta need to see what I'm working on, so don't think the mystery would work for me.

    1. I did not find the shawl difficult. The biggest disadvantage of the mystery knits is that you may not like the pattern once you see the clues. So far I have been fortunate in all the mystery KALs I have joined!

  2. An art journal sounds like a lovely idea - I hope you post pictures of your entries.

    1. I will be posting pictures over time. I think I have decided to change the book I am using though :)
