Bye bye, 2017

This year has been a bit of up/down on several levels. On the whole, things have gone better than they have in years for hubs and me. As long as you ignore the health stuff, because that has definitely not been stellar this year. Craftwise, I haven't managed to do as much as I'd have liked, …

Hats… On?

So for those of you who've been paying attention, knitting hasn't happened for me in a few months now. I simply haven't been up to it, which is saying rather a lot since I tend to knit in order to keep sane ;-). You also might remember that I have a couple of sweaters waiting …

All The Hangover…

None of the fun. Yep, spent most of yesterday in bed with a migraine. Today at least I'm doing a little better on that front, but have the aftermath to deal with. Fun times, let me tell ya. Friday I finally finished my bears.  Had to fudge things a bit, given that I messed up …

Framed!

Do you remember the two small cross stitch pieces I made for hubby as a surprise? And remember the boatload of crafty stuff I was given a while back? Well, I finally put two and two together, so to speak, and set about framing the pieces in a couple of the mini hoops that were …

WIP IT!

W.I.P. it good! Sorry, couldn't resist. Apparently I've been on a W.I.P.-kick this week. I've finished two pairs of socks! These ones, I only had to do an afterthought heel on. They've been languishing since 2011 (!) because, well, it was a little daunting to me at the time - new technique and all - …

Socks!

So I'm still without my laptop, with no word as yet whether it can be fixed or not. I'm trying to be patient, really, I am. Hubby, in the meantime is kind enough to let me hijack his computer in order to post this (thanks, baby!). Without my laptop, I've been relegated to the usual …

Happy One Year Blogiversary!

Wow, I can't believe it's been a year already since I started this blog. Do you remember my first post on January 31st, 2016? I'm ashamed to admit that I still haven't finished those bears. And ah yes, I was ambitious in thinking that I'd post twice a week myself, as well as ending up with …

Final Glove

Well, final one of the ones I was supposed to finish before Christmas, that is. All done. And here's all (minus the pair I actually did manage to finish on time) of them together: I have to say, I'm digging the colors a lot. May need to get some more of this yarn and make …

Two More

Progress is happening, people! I finished two more fingerless gloves this week *dances*. Only one more of these to go and I'll be caught up, and then I need to finish another, different kind of gloves. And then I'll get to start on a sweater. Whether or not said sweater ends up being for me or …

Business As Usual

We've survived our first week of 2017! Woohoo! And I have my first FO for the year to show for it, too. Which means I'm halfway through the 6 pairs I was supposed to have done before Christmas last year. Suppose I had better cast on the next pair, huh? 😉 The weather here's been …
