Meandering Top on a road trip to Rhode Island

Wow!  So I haven't posted since January! I am so sorry.....I'm going to do a quick catch-up and I'll post.  Hopefully, I'll remember to post next week too.

So my spouse is doing well and is in school.  Three days a week she is near Boston, Mass.  She is training to be an electrologist.  There is a need for them in the trans community.

My health has been up and down this year.   #EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ My cat just walked on the keyboard, she had something to say, I guess.

School started full in with everyone.  I've had 4 kids quarantine in the first 3 weeks.  Two because of travel...

I am taking a sweater class at one of my LYS's for the Ranuculus.  Had the first session yesterday.  I had a hell of a time with the cast-on and ended up with lots of extra stitches....Brought it home and restarted it...today finished the short rows and am ready for next Saturday...

My Radiate is about 70% done....almost finished with the body..

I met the designer Casapinka....and I only finished 1 of my 12 cast-ons...

Now to update the list...I did do one of Freshstitches patterns, that was on my 12 Cast-ons..I finished a couple of super old WIPs(one from 2006!) ......And there are things I finished that were not on my list....I didn't keep track really well this year....

Projects, Year 8, Week 2

I have really not done much, the past week as been....trying....The spouse went in for a stress test on Tuesday.  There was an issue.  She was admitted to the hospital for an angiogram.  There was a full blockage of one of her arteries.  They finally did the stint on Friday and she came home Saturday.  Obviously I was not allowed to visit.  

So I was teaching (we were allowed to virtual teach these next two weeks, as the students are virtual, thank goodness!) and I had to do all of her chores...feeding the chickens, and the cats (inside and outside), keeping the wood stove full, and oh yeah, cooking.....The PSA I have really affects my knee and hip joints.  The wood stove is in the basement.  I teach in my yarn room, on the second floor.  SO I had to go up and down stairs several times of day...by the end of each day, I was in a lot of pain and exhausted...so I would take pain medication and go to bed early.....so I really got nothing done...I think I put a couple of rounds on some socks and that was it....

Today (Sunday), I whipped up a pair of crocheted fingerless mitts (almost full) for her.  She has never really worn gloves or mittens, but the HRT has changed her body composition in many ways.  She is more cold now then she used to be....and doing all the work outside, her hands are freezing....so I pulled a skein of Lion Brand Wool-Ease out of my stash and just crocheted a pair...no pattern and I fit them to her as I worked on each section....

I did cast-on the Dissent Pullover last Sunday, as one of my 12 Cast-ons....

Hoepefully next week, I'll be back with more

Year of Projects, Year 8, Week 1

 Good morning!  So it is week 1 for me of year 8.  Last year I was very inconsistent.  Not sure how I'll do this year.   I have some crafting plans for the year, but the only ones I've posted are my 12 Cast-ons...I think this may be the year of the sweater, besides the 3 (and 2 baby ones) in my cast-on list...I also have yarn for at least 3 more....one being the Love Note, which I think I'll cast on soonish...I have the mohair, but not sure about the fingering....the mohair is a gorgeous wine color, but the fingering, I pulled from stash and they are four different colorways, so kind of a fade.  I know the mohair will unite them all....what do you think?

The picture is of most of the 12 Cast-ons....I am keeping them in this basket or if they are in a big bag/basket of their own, near this basket.

Year of Projects: Week 52

So I have not blogged since November 1!  I have been vlogging on my youtube channel, especially during vlogmas....

Since my timeline is January-December, this is my wrap-up post for the year.

The last thing I completed was the Put a Pom on It...but I have been crafting...I've been working on some advent calendar projects, along with the never ending sock WIPs....I'm not going ot update my list here, as I will for next week.

I hit a slump with my Boxy when I realized it was twisted, so I am pulling it out.....I am also frogging some long held WIPs, like the Nordic mitts....I have no idea where the pattern is....I have other patterns I can use....so going to frog those and start something new...

I finished one of the spouse's mittens. but since those are with Malabrigo Rasta, I have to take breaks from that project.  It hurts my hands.

I'm also going to be joining my friend Angela of YarnNYarns and doing a 12 castons for 2021, so I will have a separate column for that going into the new year.

I do plan on continuing this, as I like being able to see my projects all in one place and the progress on them...but I doubt it will be weekly...

My first finish is my Stripey Goodness fingerless mitts.  I started these in 2015!!!!  So no pattern, I just k2p2 around....The yarn was a kit from Quaere Fibre and The Purple Purl.  The color is called Modern Christmas.  There is actually enough left for me to make a pair of socks too....I had to fix the Ravelry page, as the wrong yarn was listed.  

I just started this this past week......well I actually cast on awhile ago...I pulled it out of the bag and there were some cast-on stitches....The hat is Put a Pom On It by Nancy Ricci...it's a free pattern...The yarn is Dragonfly Fibers Super Traveller in Stone Circle.  I actually have two other skeins, that I'll be making a cowl with, they are the grey and the copper color in this colorway.

So I took back two project bags and a couple of sets of needles.  I'm really trying to clean up some WIPs...some are not even on my list.

I have 5 days for Thanksgiving and we tend not to go anywhere on a good year, so I'll have more time to craft

I also made some last minute Halloween jewelry.  I ended up channeling Charlotte from Charlotte's Web for my "costume.".  

My completed Hexed Halloween Calendar....I loved this so much, I plan on buying another next year.  It was by TeenyButton Studio....all the colors were fabulous!

So that is it for me this week....I do have a couple of short daily videos posted of opening the calendar, but not longer vlog this week...

I'll catch you all next week....Oh I tested negative....and am going back to work on Monday...even with the negative test, I had to stay out for 14 days.....this month is a short month for us....only one week is a full 5 day week of school....

 Good morning!  It is October 25th here and I have not blogged since September 6th!  Wow!  

I've had some health issues and actually right now I am quartining.........I was exposed to someone who tested positive.  I cannot go back to work until November 2. I was tested on Friday, but have not received the results yet....and the testing was....unpleasant...

I didn't craft for awhile, but started working a couple weeks ago.....so here goes...

I have finished 4 projects since I last blogged, but only 1 of them was on the list:

This is the Perfect Pockets Shawl, this is my friend Deirdre.  She has been battling cancer for the second time.  She seems to be clear right now, but has a really bad case of the shingles.  I knew she would love the shawl...it's got POCKETS!!  All the info is in the link to my project page on Ravelry.

I made a trio of hats for a baby of a previous student.  I had previously made the Yoda hat (and they just posted pictures of him in it on Facebook...so cute!) But I also made him a Zombie hat and a Pumpkin hat.  His father is a fan of The Walking Dead....

The last finished object was my Rhinebeck Rainbow socks.  The yarn is White Birch Fiber Arts.  I bought it two years ago at Rhinebeck.  I started the socks in October of 2019, so a year later I finished them....the heels gave me some trouble as I started a FLK heel and didn't like it.  So I changed to s slipped stitch heel.  But I got some big holes in the corners....So I sewed them up when I finished them.  I completed them yesterday...so another pair of socks down...but so many more to go...

These are showing up a bit darker than they actually are, but the colors do run dark.  The heel is West Yorkshire Spinners in a grey....

I also started a pair of socks with some yarn I bought on LYS day in September.  I will show that one next week.  I will also give a stash update....

I have been posting short videos for the Hexed Halloween Calendar from Teeny Button Studio.  I received 12 mini-skeins and a full skien to open on Halloween....these are very short

I also posted a new podcast video yesterday...it's from October 11...and it took this long to finally get it uploaded...if you are interested.

If you watch a video, please give me a like, and maybe a subscribe.....I'd love a comment...

I'll see you next week!
