  1. A Knitter Goes To Iceland

    A Knitter Goes To Iceland

    This week I'll tell you about my trip to Iceland.  It's the perfect vacation for a knitter.  The weather calls for wooly handknits and there's yarn everywhere! I didn't finish anything over the past couple of weeks but I worked on the Dwelling Cushion and a pair of vanilla socks.  I also cast on a mystery knitalong project, the Miss May Shawl.

    Joke's On Me, Kid

    This week I finished my Curling Mist Socks and I cast on the Dwelling Cushion.  I also have some travel knitting ideas.  On top of that, a goat has invaded my world.

    Stuck in the Coop

    This week, I've finished the Goldfish Memory shawl.  Yay!! I've picked the Curling Mist Socks back up and I'm looking for mini skein patterns because I have some on their way to me from Australia. I also have some quilting plans. Unless I get stuck in the chicken coop...again.

    Two FOs and a Shopping Trip

    This week I finished two projects that I hadn't even started last episode.  One is the Sunflowers Will Rise hat. The other is a test knit from Sally Jane Designs, the Bluebird of Happiness Mitts. I spent last weekend in Savannah, GA, and went to The Frayed Knot yarn shop. I have lots of new yarn to talk about, obviously.

    Big Projects Take Longer

    This week I still haven't finished anything new but I'm working on several big projects.  I made progress on the Goldfish Memory wrap, the Copper Canyon Cardi and Aileas, the cardigan from Isabell Kraemer. There's lots going on at the farm. Chickens have moved around and a goat is moving away.  I also planted some peppers and tomatoes.

    Not A Lot Of Room For Brains

    This week, I haven't finished anything. I have however, been working on the Goldfish Memory wrap.  I had a problem with my stitch count but I fudged my way through.  I also figured out a problem with the Copper Canyon Cardi. There was a misprint in the pattern. Our roosters are not playing well with others. It was quite an ordeal to watch them. We are also still making plans for a trip to Iceland.  I hope to have a capsule wardrobe for the trip and keep my packing light. More room for yarn!

  7. Copper Canyon Cardigan

    Copper Canyon Cardigan

    This week, I finished my advent mini/scrap yarn shawl. I used 12 minis plus a main color. I did an icord bind off. I also cast on the Copper Canyon Cardi but had some issues with the instructions. The farm animals are all doing fine. We have gotten several double yoke eggs lately so there might be a particular hen that tends to lay them. A local mail thief has caused us to spend money on a lockable mailbox--grrr! I found some washable mop pads for my Swiffer Wet Jet. I'll review them for you. Finally, we are making plans for a family trip to Iceland in the near future. Any travel tips?

    An Excellent Sock Book

    This week, I finished the Midas Hat.  I'm also still working on my advent mini shawl but it's getting close to the finish line.  I swatched for the Copper Canyon Cardi by Rachel Raimo. I found a new sock knitting book, The Sock Knitting Bible by Lynne Rowe. Check out my review of it! Have you tried ordering glasses online?  I have placed an order with Pair.  I'll let you know what I think once my glasses arrive. Stay until the end for bloopers.
