photo pixabay.com All right. I'm calling it. I have not touched my Great Green KAL Flax sweater in nearly two weeks, which is a bit ridiculous since the sleeves are on waste yarn and all I basically need to do is knit out the body...I was planning to do short sleeves anyway. Nope. Because I …

Knitting And Nourishment
photo unsplash.com Here I am, still working away on my Great Green KAL sweater. The deadline is March 31, but I am the devil with deadlines. If I don't tell myself I have to have it done by the 15th, I will hem and haw and not do a darn thing until the last minute. …

Great Green KAL Update
(Please note: there are NO affiliate links in this post.) Oh my goodness. By the sixteenth of this month, I began to think that I should gracefully (and fitfully) bow out of the Great Green KAL. Luckily, I did not and as yet I have not. I decided when it came time to pick up …
Currently On My Needles

Brava
photo unsplash.com Over the protracted censure of the pandemic (as in—lockdown), I participated in some yarn gifting, yarn exchanges, and so forth. Someone sent me some lovely pale green acrylic yarn at one point. If my son is still ok with the color once I am done with my Lopi Flax, I will be making …
Hygge And Hearth KAL Update
https://www.instagram.com/p/CIPeZIppRIG/ So, I only made it four repeats into this pattern…well, one initial section and three repeats…four days into the pattern. It was day three of the KAL when things started to go downhill for me. I started to get sick. Not entirely unheard-of during December really. It happens. By day four, I was beginning …
My Knitting Goals For The Year
photo from unsplash.com For years now, I have had a goal which I have not even come close to meeting; my goal has been to knit twelve sweaters throughout the entire year. I am going to make my goal this year to knit six sweaters. Just six. Perhaps I can attain that goal. Especially since …
My Need For Yarn
photo from unsplash.com When I sat down to think about this coming year, I wanted to cut down on my spending (except maybe for my new Cricut, which I am still getting to know how to use)...keeping the books to a bare minimum--because there is NO WAY I cannot buy any books for an entire …
