Year of Projects, Year 7 - Week 16

Good morning!  It's going to rain here today and mainly rain for the next week....that'll be great for my joints..NOT!  I did get my infusion this past Monday...it took three tries and hurt so bad!  I couldn't use my hands much for the next two days...I'm still bruised....

But I decided this week I needed to get some socks done and off the needles!  I finished two...not a pair and cast on their mates....and I have another close to finish....I'd love to get them off the needles...I think I still have about 10 or so sock projects...and so much yummy yarn to cast on!

Manic Pixie Dream in Cloudy with a Chance of Rain....that foot looks so fat....my feet are super skinny....it does fit.

Paton's in Blue Ragg.....again the foot looks big....these will be nice in boots for the winter...if we ever have winter again....

NightOwl Fibers in Grinchmas...I'm about ready to start the toe decreases on this...

So that is about it for me this week....I'm sleepy and think I'm going to lay back down for a bit....I've been having a lot of disturbed sleep...damn menopause.....

But I do have two videos to link...last week's went up on Tuesday, I believe...and then this weeks...this week, I do a tour of my Yarn Loft/Classroom/Dressing Room.....

I'm up to 21 subscribers!  Yeah!  Thank you if you are a subscriber!

Year of Projects, Year Seven, Week 15

Good afternoon!  It is afternoon here, time for lunch!  So I do have a finish, it was not on my list.  Three former students are having babies and one just had his...so I made a Yoda hat and lightsaber for him!

The hat pattern is Wise One Beanie by Elizabeth Roggasch and is free on her website.  The lightsaber I made up as I went along.  The first version was too skinny, so I had to rip it all out and start over.

I have several socks in progress....got heels in on three socks, down to toe decreases on one of them.

I've cast on several projects, but the baby stuff is the priority now.  Two more are due in weeks, so the Wee Cria needs to be finished and I have to decide what I am making for the other baby.

I will have another video going up this week, but it's not ready to upload yet...so if you are a subscriber, thank you!  I have 20 now! 

I guess that is all for this week.  I'll see you next week.

Year Of Projects, Year Seven, Week 14

Good Afternoon!  Wow thought I'd just missed one week, but looks like it was two!  Sorry!  But look at that, I have some completed projects!

I finished 3 and a half hats!

This is the WOW Factor hat.  I bought a kit from White Birch Fiber Co at Stitches United two or three years ago.  The kit came with the pattern.

This is Wow Factor 2, this was actually a different hat, the Vermonter, but it was too small, so I ripped it out.  This yarn is Canon Hand Dyed in a Gilmore Girls color, I bought the pompom on etsy, as I wanted a yellow pompom to bring out the yellow speckles. 

The hats are very similar.  The first one I made the large and it's not quite as long as the second one, which is the medium size.

So a friend made a hat for her daughter and I thought it was brilliant....so here is my Chrono Cap. 

I also finished a baby hat, but didn't take a picture.

This is Showoff.  A really quick knit using Malabrigo Caracol.  It's much smaller than it should be, as I didn't have the right size needles.  But it's a nice warm shoulder wrap.

I don't have a completed picture of my Breeze, next week....but it is done!

Except for the Breeze, none of these were on my lists....I have several other cast-ons I'll share int he next couple of weeks, as I've had castonitis...I did talk about a few of them in the videos.

I did publish a vlog last week and another this week, so if you'd like to take a look

Episode 7

Episode 8

Neither are longer than 25 minutes....I hope you'll take a look.

I hope to be back with at least one more finished object next week.  My hands have had some pain the past couple of days, so I've not been crafting too much.

See you next week....
