Should I Knit Or Should I Not?
Photo by rocknwool on Unsplash So, I have had a running goal of knitting twelve sweaters every year; ever since I started to make that goal, I have in no way come even close to achieving that goal. I thought I was more on track this year when I completed four sweaters in February, all …
Projects Check-In
photo unsplash.com So, I haven't been doing that much knitting this month. I did finish the one short-sleeved top based on Knitatude's Stockinette Beginner's Raglan. (not an affiliate link) I used Hobbii's Fluffy Day XL yarn (not an affiliate link). You will see that the pattern calls for Super Bulky yarn and the Fluffy Day …
FOs From January
Photo by Mildlee on Unsplash In the month of January, I knit four whole adult sweaters. That sounds great, doesn't it? Except--the fourth sweater lacked about thirty rounds by January 31 and so it was technically completed on February 1--but most of it was finished in January, so I am counting it there. I took …
Let’s Talk Knitting Patterns for A Sec
Photo by Nynne Schrøder on Unsplash I received three knit kits over the holidays. Three different summery shirts if I remember correctly.

So, Let’s Knit Some Slippers
Photo by Tara Evans on Unsplash I believe I have spoken about my need for a mass influx of slippers for this house, especially for myself. Not that my youngest and my husband don't need them as well--and yes, I will make sure they get some as well. Now, I will probably make a bunch …
More Knitting To Keep Me Moving
Photo by Erica Marsland Huynh on Unsplash For years, I have wanted to knit or crochet or sew or craft or something decorations for our Yule tree. I have always been far too busy with all sorts of things to ever actually do anything...I don't think I have ever even sat down and thought about …
Knitting Up A Holiday Sweater
photo unsplash.com Sometime during the last week or so of this past November, I got it into my head that I wanted to finish at least one sweater this year, since I frogged out about, what, four? this year. I wasn't actually looking for much of anything when it struck me I already own a …
