I have been lax in meeting the craft/knitting challenges this last 2 months. And I’m not really in line to do next months either. Some of this over laps with my year of making, so sorry for any repeats. Continue reading

better late… no really it’s almost midnight here
I’ve become rather fond of the way jetpack and WordPress “mosaic” together my photos, but that doesn’t really work when you’ve only got 2 or 3 together. Maybe waiting a whole month is just more visually appealing.

a month of a #yearofmaking, but no blogging…
So I completely failed to review my year of making projects the same way lots of people just stop doing things, I just plain forgot the first week, and nothing really happened. So I figured I’ll just do 2 weeks next Monday.
Then Monday came and almost went, because I didn’t remember till I was already in bed. And I thought I could get up out of my warm bed OR just do 3 weeks next time.
Then the third kind of just flew by and then it was the forth… and so on. Continue reading
#yearofmaking, March 8th-14th
Besides spending to much on reddit reading the thread on Terry Pratchett’s passing, I had a serious case of the cast-on’s this week. And all sorts of problems with my yarn/pattern pairings. One minute I loved how the project was coming.
Then I really really didn’t. Continue reading
march battle plans
I was all set to start my geek knitting project this morning for my March Craft Challenges project. When I got the news.
Sir Terry Pratchett, probably my favorite author passed away.
His writing has made me laugh okay snort like a proper dork in the middle of a quite room, loud enough to cause everyone to stare at me.
And I was selfishly looking forward to another Disc World novel featuring Sam Vines.
So I’m sorry Big-head, your gloves will have to wait. 
I know you will understand, but I must pay tribute and make something Disc World inspired. Not decided yet, but maybe Death of Rats.
The Cold Sheep challenge is out too,
“March’s challenge is to knit something in your favorite sports team colors! Whether it be a blanket, a beer cozy, or a scarf”
I can’t say I’m trilled about this, & I don’t have any solid idea’s yet.
Okay that’s all I’ve got in me today.
“So much universe, and so little time.” – Terry Pratchett
february challenge wrap up
February turned out to be a pretty good month.
I managed to finish both the cold sheep challenge and the Craft Challenges, I also completed a pair of Oddities for the reddit Kal. And I managed to start something for the Quarter 1 bust-a-long, though technically I might have started it in March.
I finished weaving in all the ends on projects thats have been just sitting around and were otherwise finished this week. Continue reading
forgetful week for #yearofmaking
I’ve been all kinds of productive/creative this last week, I’ve managed to be busy enough doing it I forgot to take pictures everyday. Continue reading
week 8 of #year of making, with only 44 to go!
It’s week 8 review, well really it’s my 7th week, but for the sake of my own sanity we’ll pretend I’ve been making things since the first of the year.
So at the end of February that will be 58 days.

#yearofmaking its already week 7… wait, really that’s it!?!
This was a tough week, mainly because my foster left me on Thursday, and then came back Satirday…
Mainly it was my struggle with these Oddity gloves. But now that I’ve set them aside for a while I am feeling better. Continue reading
