Tenth Year of Projects - Week 4

This week has given me a lot of progress on my projects!  This is thanks to many hours of Zoom meetings - still...

Ongoing works in progress:
1) Sock Scrap-ghan - I managed to add 7 squares to my scrap wrap - I think this is the new nickname for this project - it kind of popped out in my podcast... and I love the name!  I now need to add 86 more squares to get this to completion. 

2) Stillness Shawl MKAL - this is a mystery knit along by Helen Stewart that I cast on June 25th 2020.  We get one clue each Thursday in July.  This past week gave us Clue #5 - the final clue - and I am am almost done!  I won't post pictures here as it is still a mystery.  I have shown it in detail on my podcast (linked below) so if you wish to see it please take a peek.

3) Tegna - this is a summer sweater by Caitlin Hunter.  I cast this on June 28th and am making decent progress on it.  I have added another two inches of stockinette this week (progress is from the stitch marker upwards)!  It is still a long way from completion, but I am making progress!

I also spend some time showing my progress on my projects on my podcast.  I just posted a new video on Saturday in case you want to check it out!  And I am having a little give away over there!  I would be so happy if you subscribed to my little channel ♥

Tenth Year of Projects - Week 3

This week has given me a lot of progress on my projects!  This is thanks to many hours of Zoom meetings and virtual conferences - I have to find the positive in these meetings!!

Ongoing works in progress:
1) Sock Scrap-ghan - I managed to add 15 squares to my scrap wrap - I think this is the new nickname for this project - it kind of popped out in my podcast... and I love the name!  I now need to add 93 more squares to get this to completion. 

2) Stillness Shawl MKAL - this is a mystery knit along by Helen Stewart that I cast on June 25th 2020.  We get one clue each Thursday in July.  This past week gave us Clue #4 and I got that done already!  I won't post pictures here as it is still a mystery.  I have shown it in detail on my podcast (linked below) so if you wish to see it please take a peek.

3) Tegna - this is a summer sweater that is by Caitlin Hunter.  I cast this on June 28th and am making decent progress on it.  I have added about three inches of stockinette now!  It is still a long way from completion, but I am making progress!

I also spend some time showing my progress on my projects on my podcast.  I just posted a new video on Saturday in case you want to check it out!  I would be so happy if you subscribed to my little channel ♥

Tenth Year of Projects - Week 2

I am back for another Year of Projects and I am already a week behind!!  I have attempted the Year of Projects several times now and I don't think I have stuck through it for an entire year yet...  Oh well, I still have fun with it!  I am setting a goal to complete at least 12 projects over the year.  I should be able to meet this goal (hopefully)!


Ongoing works in progress:
1) Sock Scrap-ghan - cast on July 24th 2014 (time to keep moving with this one!!  I originally wanted to make this into an afghan, but have since decided to scale it back to a wrap.  I want something to throw over my shoulders while watching TV in the winter (our living room is cold and drafty!).  It will measure 25x13 little squares.  I currently have 108 squares left to complete!  Many of you may recognize that this is another long term project that has appeared in several YOPs!

2) Stillness Shawl MKAL - this is a mystery knit along by Helen Stewart that I cast on June 25th 2020.  We get one clue each Thursday in July (5 clues are already out and I am up to date on this project!)  I won't post pictures here as it is still a mystery.  I have shown it in detail on my podcast (linked below) so if you wish to see it please take a peek.

3) Tegna - this is a summer sweater that is by Caitlin Hunter.  I cast this on June 28th and am making decent progress on it.  There are more details on my Ravelry project page and I also show off my progress in my podcast this week.  I have been eyeing up this pattern for some time and am happy with the knit so far!  I am done with the lace portion at the hem and am now onto the knit portion - round after round of knit!  

New plans for using stash include:
1) Damejakka Loppa - The Flea Cardigan - I have the yarn for this (just bought it from Holst in Denmark) and am ready to cast it on once I have completed one of my current WIPs.  I love the look of this cardigan!  And I am excited (and scared) to try steeking for the first time!

2) Boxy - I have wanted to make this for some time as well!  I might dye my own yarn for this - we shall see!

Plus I know I will find all sorts of fun things and fun KALs to join along during the year!  I will be participating in Sock Madness (again) so that will generate several sock projects!  I also suspect I will be drawn to some mystery KALs along the way!  

I also spend some time showing my progress on my projects on my podcast.  I just posted a new video on Saturday in case you want to check it out!

My goal for this year is to complete 12 projects!  Let's see if I can!  And let's see if I can finally complete my Scrap-ghan!
