Tenth Year of Projects - Week 13



Ongoing works in progress:
1) Tegna - I am going to lose yarn chicken...  I have 11 grams left and need to do the neckline plus two sleeves...  Sigh.  I finished knitting the entire body this past week and joined the shoulder seams.  I have also tucked in all the tails!  I had to order a set of smaller needles to do the neckline (I did not have that sizer among all my needles...) and they will arrive tomorrow so I will finish the neckline then.  I am now on the hunt for more yarn!  I contacted the person I bought the yarn from originally and she has no more.  One person on Ravelry had hers listed for sale, but it is already sold.  I have put out an ISO request so hopefully I will find some.  I also suspect I may randomly contact people on Ravelry who have this yarn but have it listed as not for sale - maybe someone will take pity on me and sell me one or two skeins.  I'll update you next week.




Stash Enhancement:
1) I ordered two skeins of West Yorkshire Spinners Christmas colorways - one Holly Berry and one Fairy Lights.  This yarn will become socks soon!!


2) Fibra Natura Lima - I found more of this yarn on clearance at my local Tuesday Morning and plan to make myself a cabled cardigan with it.  I had four skeins at home and bought four more.   



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 ♥




Please head over to the forum on Ravelry to see what others are up to with their YOPs!

Eighth Year of Projects - Week 29


Welcome back for another week!!  I have spent all my spare time this week working on my Rowe Cardigan and have added quite a bit to the ribbing.  I am now a bit past half way through all this ribbing!  I need to have eight inches and am not at just over four inches - so a way to go yet!  We are back to school now, so my free time has shrunk.  Oh well!  Here is a picture of the cardigan all scrunched and bunched.  It is tough to get a decent picture of the progress while it is all on the needles.


Here are a couple skeins of yarn I bought recently.  I bought eight of this gorgeous blue and it is destined to become a Sode Cardigan (but I won't cast it on until I get a couple other things off the needles!)  I bought five skeins of the gray and I am not sure what that will become - either a sweater, a vest, or a wrap. 


And I have posted a new podcast where I show you my purchases and give you a better view (sort of) of my Rowe Cardigan.


See you all next week!!
