There have been so many things going on during these past few months. Work, visiting family, teaching, and definitely knitting has been taking up my time. I am still addicted to one-by-one colorwork cowls, having now made eight of them, and am teaching how to do these at a LYS to me. It has been…
Addicted to One-by-One Colorwork
Oh, what do you do with your leftovers? Oh, what do you do with your leftovers? Oh, what do you do with your leftovers? May I have them please? (Sung to the tune of Oh What do you do in the Summertime.) My knitting friends know that I love to take their leftover sock yarn…
New Year, New Projects
It is hard to believe it is the end of January already. January has absolutely flown by. Christmas came and went; we traveled to Utah and Idaho to spend some time with some of the kids, grandkids and my mother and aunt; we have had our old deck demolished and a new one constructed; and…
Jumping in Again
It has been such a long time, I’m not sure I remember how to do this. I guess I will be learning all over again. I hope you’ll come along for the ride. I haven’t stopped knitting, if that has been your concern. I have been busy with family, work, teaching, and more work. I…
There is No Way to Catch Up
I’ve been busy at work moving our center from a temporary location, where we have been for the past four years, back into where we were before the Washington DC Temple was closed for renovations in 2018. There has been a lot of hurry-up-and-wait time since the open house ended the first part of June….
Working on WIPs and One Finished Project
During these past two weeks I have been working on some WIPs and continued working on H’s sweater. First up is this Fisherman’s Rib Beanie which has probably been on the needles for at least three years. There was no project page in Ravelry, not an uncommon occurrence for me, so no exact start date….
Three Days of Staying Home
The projects I’m working on right now have seen a lot of progress as I have been home for the past three days. Thursday night, when I left work, hubby said he had an appointment to get tested on Friday. With that, I knew I wouldn’t be able to go to work Friday or Saturday…
I Couldn’t Help but Cast On
When I had been out visiting kids and grandkids in October, one granddaughter asked me to make her a new sweater. The one that I had given her four years ago was now too small. Sunday when we had our family Zoom call, she asked about her sweater…….. I had to cast one on for…
First Snow and Project Progress
This week we have seen our first and second measurable snowfalls. On Monday we had about six inches fall and then on Thursday night/early Friday morning we had another four or so inches fall. By Friday afternoon the sun was shining and the snow was melting. Today we had temperatures in the thirties with rain,…
2022 – Here I Come
At the end of every year I try to reflect on what I have accomplished that year. Did I achieve the goals that I had set? Did I accomplish all that I wanted to do in the past year? As I did my reflections this year I noticed that I wanted to have more accountability….
