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

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
#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…

some time management for a stubborn knitter
I have let the reddit dual KAL become all consuming. I barely finished a hat for my fiancé earlier this month. And while I did *finish knitting a pair of Oddities, they are heavily modified.

january challenge projects
My January projects are finished and submitted.
My 2015 Cold Sheep challenge:
It’s a mystery yarn purchased around 2004-2005, I don’t think it’s the oldest, but it’s old.
I’ll be donating it most likely along with any other baby hats I finish to a hospital or another charity.
The Tumblr Craft Challenges challenge…
I’ve already shared this but here you go.
Again I hope to be more creative this month.
I’m waiting on the next cold sheep challenge, I’m a little excited!
i do love me a challenge
I have a redonkulous amount of trouble, thinking or finding my own inspiration to start new projects or designs. So I love challenges, specially ones with fairly vague guidelines that are just enough to get me started. Continue reading
