Eighth Year of Projects - Week 18

Hello and welcome back for another week of the Year of Projects!!  I have had a busy week with both work and knitting!  I finished Clue #1 and have a finished object to show off!  And I am ready to cast on a new project (I can't wait...)

First up my finished object!  I finished my Sockhead Slouch Hat!!  It is huge and I love it!  I describe it more in my podcast which I will link below.  Here is a picture of me wearing it:

And I finished Clue #1 on the Texture Time Shawl!  All of the clues have been released now and I am slowly plugging along!  I also got a bit of a start on Clue #2.  Here is where I am at now and the little pink marker shows where I left off last week:

And I am casting on a pair of Christmas socks.  These will be vanilla socks and I am using one of the holiday color ways that I dyed up a little while back.  I will knit each cuff and then I plan to join them and work the remainder two at a time.  Here is my progress (hehe - I just cast these on earlier this morning before I posted this blog and only have two rounds done!):

And I have been continuing with Vlogtober!  I have posted a video every day throughout the month of October!  I have only four more videos to go (actually three - today's video is uploading to YouTube as I type this).  I have really enjoyed filming and posting something every day, but I will be happy for a more laid back schedule once November rolls around!  Wait - how is it already nearly November?!

And I posted Episode 7 of my podcast last night!  I am still loving doing the podcast and only wish I had started sooner.  Here is a link to this week's video where I show you my finished Sockhead Slouch Hat!

Take care everyone and I'll see you again soon!!

Eighth Year of Projects - Week 17

Here we are back for another week!  I have managed to get a fair bit of knitting in this week even though I have been quite busy at work.

I only managed to add a few rounds on my Sockhead Slouch Hat.  I am beginning to think I may be getting closer to finished with this one!  My progress from last week is from the blue marker.

I made a great deal of progress on my Texture Time Shawl even though I am still working on Clue #1.  I am getting close to complete with this clue.  I really don't think I will finish this in October!  Oh well!  My progress is from the pink marker!

I released a new pattern on Ravelry - the first one in quite some time!  It is called Staggered Tracks and here is a picture of it:

And I have posted Episode 6 on my podcast!

Eighth Year of Projects - Week 16

Welcome to another weekly update!!  I hope you all have had an amazing week!  I have kept busy with knitting and work.  Here is what I did this past week:

One of these weeks I will finish the sleeves on my Rowe Cardigan!  This past week I did make a fair bit of progress, but still have a little ways to go.  I have finished the sleeve increasing and now am working on the shoulder cap decreases.  I think I have about 25 or 30 rows left to go and the sleeves are complete.  Maybe by next week??  My progress from last week is shown from the little green marker on the sleeve here:

And I made a little progress on my Sockhead Slouch Hat!  I have rolled the cake into a ball since it was getting pretty disheveled from being my travel project.  I have added maybe two more inches to the hat and hope to have this one done one of the days soon!  Here is my progress:

Spoiler Alert!!  I you are slower than me on the Texture Time Mystery Shaw do not continue to read because I will be posting a progress picture a bit lower down here. 

And I finally cast on my Texture Time Mystery Shawl!  I got a start once and messed up so I frogged it.  Now I am still working on Clue #1 and Clue #2 was released a few days ago.  I suspect I won't catch up...  Oh well, I plan to continue and hope to finish Clue #1 before Clue #3 comes out!  Maybe I will even have some progress on Clue #2 before I show you next week.  I am thinking I may regret this cast on while I look at all the ends!!  We have been told we will deal with them later so I guess I have to be patient!  Here is where I am now (I am about 1/3 to 1/2 way done Clue #1):

And I have Episode 5 posted on my podcast!!

And I have been keeping up with Vlogtober and now have 13 posts!!  Check out my playlist!

Eighth Year of Projects - Week 15

Hello for another week!  I hope everyone had a nice week and got lots of crafting done!

I had a fairly productive week, although work took up quite a bit of my time!  I managed to get a few more rows done on the sleeves of my Rowe Cardigan.  I had honestly hoped to finish the sleeves this past week, but didn't...  Oh well, maybe this week I will get them done!  Here is my progress - from the green marker up:

And I made some progress on my Sockhead Slouch Hat.  I moved on to the next color now.  I need to practice dying gradient yarns - this isn't really a "gradient".  Oh well, I still love the colors!  My progress from last week is from the blue marker.

And I got my yarn all dyed up for the Texture Time Mystery Shawl.  The first clue was released a few days ago but I have not cast it one yet.  Maybe I'll do that this afternoon.  Here is the yarn I dyed (the pattern also includes a fluffy yarn, but I forgot to take a picture including that...

I posted my latest podcast yesterday:

And I have posted each day so far in October for Vlogtober!!  If you have not had a chance why not check them out??  They are each less than ten minutes long and this morning's vlog includes alpaca butts!

Time to get moving here!  Have an amazing week!!
