So I don’t have any pics, and I don’t really have too much knitting updating to do. I’m depressed, I’ve had a rough week. I have been totally slacking on my 365 project I skipped Sun-Wed of this week. I did manage to take a pic yesterday so if I can repeat [...]

Ok, the sweater and I are speaking again. I finished the seaming and did one cuff last night and it’s cute. It’s heavy and a bit bulky but it’s turning out good. So I didn’t make my goal of having it ready for today, but it’ll definitely be ready for tomorrow. [...]

I did the bind off for my sweater and cast on the left side, and I’m almost done with [...]

I finished my little glovettes. They came out a little big even though I did the small size, but then again I can barely grasp gauge in knitting, much less crochet.
I finished another blanket square and started a sixth one…
I bought my yarn for the upcoming sweater workshop:
In other news my neck is [...]
So I have finally shaken loose some of the distractions and obligations that were keeping me so busy this last year. I am ready to knit. I’m ready to crochet. I haven’t picked up sticks or hook for 9 months, that damn wedding planning ate up all my time. But I’m [...]
