This week has given me a finished object and a lot of progress on my other two projects!
Finished Object:
1)Stillness Shawl MKAL - this was a mystery knit along by Helen Stewart that I cast on June 25th 2020. I finished the knitting on July 27th (and also tucked in all the tails) and got it blocked on the 31st. I can now safely show it off since the mystery has now been lifted. I love this shawl!!
Ongoing works in progress: 1) Sock Scrap-ghan - I managed to add 12 more squares to my scrap wrap! I now need to add 74 more squares to get this to completion. Here is an updated picture (the stitch markers - if you can see them - are the squares I added in the past week.
2) 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 inch of stockinette this week (no progress picture this week as it does not look much different from last week). 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 ♥

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 ♥

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 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!
I'm running a little late today... But I have a finished object to share with you!! My Rowe Cardigan is all done! I love it!
And this picture really sums up how I feel about it:
Once I was finished with Rowe I turned to my Texture Time Shawl and have made some progress on that! I hope to get this one finished in the next couple weeks! Then I will cast on something new as a reward :) My progress here is from the orange marker out towards the pink (it is easier to see in the second picture)
And I have a new episode of my podcast up on YouTube. I show off my Rowe Cardigan in more detail there.
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.
Happy New Year everyone!! I missed last week (first time I have missed a week in some time! Maybe even the first missed week in YoP 8!!). Anyway, life was busy and I just did not get around to posting.
I have a couple finishes from the last time I posted and I have significant progress on one other project!
1) I finished the Boyfriend Hat for my husband's Christmas gift. He loves it and it fits him well. And I can't figure out how to rotate this. It looks right in the file and turns on it's side when I move it here...
2) I finished knitting my Advent Scarf 2018! I actually finished the knitting on Christmas Eve! I still have to block it and hope to get that done soon! I don't really have a good picture of this one yet...
3) I have made significant progress on my Rowe Cardigan! I have finished the front pieces and have sewn everything together. I am currently working on the ribbing that goes all the way around the front of the garment (up the right front, across the back of the neck, and back down the left front). This involves a TON of stitches!! I have 430 stitches all the way along the piece and it is to be knit in 2x2 ribbing for 8 inches! I have ten rows complete and estimate I need at least 45 rows to reach 8 inches. This is my focus project right now and I plan to not work on anything but this until it is complete!! It is impossible to get a decent picture of this since the stitches are all bunched up on the cable but here it is in a plastic tub:
One of my New Year's resolutions is to knit a bit more monogamously. I am finding that this suits my style the best. Even though I love casting on new projects, I find that I only tend to work on a few at a time and the rest languish. I am planning to keep my number of WIPs to a minimum during 2019!
I posted a new podcast earlier this week and will be posting an update in time for next weeks update here.
