A record of my journey through yarn projects
Hello! Hope this post's title doesn't make you think I've started knitting a sweater. I'm knitting sleeves, and only sleeves--call them sleeve tubes, if you will. The temperate climate here will probably not change while we live here, and since we've now acclimated to it, a slightly cooler breeze can sometimes make us feel a … Continue reading A Start on Sleeves
Hello! Do you remember the crocheted headrest covers that I made a while back? Well, the couches were newish when I was in the early stages of making the covers, but they've been in use for quite a while now, and we felt that they probably need some sort of cover for the armrests as … Continue reading Dynamic Squares Armrest Covers
Hello! I'm now back on a saner schedule after the busy phase at work. And I've been easing into resuming my fiber projects by catching up on some sari edges that needed tasseling. Many of our newer saris with unsecured edges have been waiting in our wardrobe since they weren't a huge priority--there weren't many … Continue reading Sari Fringes
It's time to pop open the champagne, because I've finally completed stitching Changing Seasons, the Fox and Rabbit MSAL from 2022! From this on all four corners... ... to this I made the last stitch of this project a couple of weeks ago, but scheduled this post for today since I'll probably not work on … Continue reading Changing Seasons (Fox and Rabbit 2022 MSAL) Done!
Hello! Just a few days ago, I managed to complete the part of the Changing Seasons project that had been feeling sooo tedious to me. Woot! Party time. 🙂 I feel great now that all of the much-repeated flower motifs are done! My familiar (audio)book was great company, and I finished the book not long … Continue reading Changing Seasons (Fox and Rabbit 2022 MSAL) /14
Hello! It's not yet been a month since my last update, but I thought a blog update might help me jot down (and get! 😉 ) a few encouraging notes to help with the currently tedious stage of this project. The tediousness is only because of the impending pineapple / flower motifs that come next. … Continue reading Changing Seasons (Fox and Rabbit 2022 MSAL) /13
Hello! I've been working on the Changing Seasons MSAL on and off, and have completed the corner motifs! I've also completed a diagonal line of flowers. These flowers are pretty small, so there's not much space for transitioning colors. I just used a different color for the centers of the flowers. More stems are next, … Continue reading Changing Seasons (Fox and Rabbit 2022 MSAL) /12
Hello! After a long time, I'm back to working solely on the Changing Seasons project! It's been quite a journey, from working only on this project at first, to picking up other projects and having multiple WIPs going, and now coming back full circle. 🙂 I say 'solely', but technically, this is my sole fiber-oriented … Continue reading Changing Seasons (Fox and Rabbit 2022 MSAL) /11
... Well, they're headrest covers currently. In my last update, I'd finished one unit with a gray border. I crocheted a border for another piece with the same yarn, then switched to white for the pair in the photo above; there definitely wasn't enough yarn left for two more gray borders. (This yarn shortage was … Continue reading Dynamic Squares Throw Units – Done!
Hello! It's finally time to show you a finished project. 🙂 I managed to complete the 2024 SAL by Cliffside Stitches--just the stitching, mind you, it's still not framed. I had just the final band and the border remaining since my last update. I completed the blackwork band without any issues, just as instructed in … Continue reading 2024 SAL by Cliffside Stitches – Done!
