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. </p><p>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....</p><p>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....</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6HfT7-dqUCN9HC57347Dw9-D4kZVnFauifLSUX_pWyFGXpGD1pCN4Y8S2X_tlN3Ii0JRkbIEbOwlVjvp8a2JJUYPsxGLLkmle63CCvwkM4CIa2hjkjmAdmN8okGy8NZCKFm_VvzC2gRU/s4896/DSC00654.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3672" data-original-width="4896" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6HfT7-dqUCN9HC57347Dw9-D4kZVnFauifLSUX_pWyFGXpGD1pCN4Y8S2X_tlN3Ii0JRkbIEbOwlVjvp8a2JJUYPsxGLLkmle63CCvwkM4CIa2hjkjmAdmN8okGy8NZCKFm_VvzC2gRU/s320/DSC00654.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div><br /></div>I did cast-on the Dissent Pullover last Sunday, as one of my 12 Cast-ons....<div><br /></div><div>Hoepefully next week, I'll be back with more </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Finished Objects 2021:</b></div><div>Laura's Fingerless Mitts (1/10/20-1/10/20)<br /><p><u style="color: #333333; font-family: "Josefin Sans"; font-size: 14.85px;"><b>Works In Progress:</b></u><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Josefin Sans"; font-size: 14.85px;"><b> </b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Josefin Sans;"><span face="" style="background-color: white; color: #008953; font-size: 14.85px;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Josefin Sans"; font-size: 14.85px;"><span style="font-size: 14.85px;"><b>12 Cast-ons of 2021:</b><br />12 Days of Christmas socks (December 25, 2020)<br />Boxy (December 27, 2020) Joji Locatelli<br /><span style="font-size: 14.85px;">Selbu Mittens (December 27, 2020) Skeindeer Knits<br /></span></span></span></span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "Josefin Sans"; font-size: 14.85px;">Calleter Sweater Littletheroem<br /></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "Josefin Sans"; font-size: 14.85px;">Teddy Sweater Terri Kruse<br /></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "Josefin Sans"; font-size: 14.85px;">21 Color Slouch (December 28, 2020)<br /></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "Josefin Sans"; font-size: 14.85px;">Radiate Joji Locatelli (January 2, 2021) - I am now on section two and working with both colors.

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?</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjr9F-dKdO48hZXqjKAgiEKjyD8yYgXog2OhB8LV-U7DkbvSVI4wh9NnA8hv_t3tmr8LI3KJXZlzRImDFGP8Y5NvFSnLjJdnWaOYlWDv5s36Mvc1-cpKiNYg_gsPupxP-q3vdDrJPw6dRo/s4896/DSC00650.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

I have been vlogging on my youtube channel, especially during vlogmas....</p><p>Since my timeline is January-December, this is my wrap-up post for the year.</p><p>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.</p><p>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...</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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...</p><p><b style="background-color: white;

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...<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivnCOaSqO0qFKF8FKJ9V5mTFCNIUhXZ8Sh01c4X_zNP3TYtj78rs_j3T_U2eRBmVejgNqHzt1clTn6p5eboB4VMsRCXG1mnH_JWn0xIkDNxjJSTG5tiuLopy5NT21UeN44ExDO7bgRn9c/s1600/C02D7168-B0B3-4A8E-A264-FB8385AE460D.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivnCOaSqO0qFKF8FKJ9V5mTFCNIUhXZ8Sh01c4X_zNP3TYtj78rs_j3T_U2eRBmVejgNqHzt1clTn6p5eboB4VMsRCXG1mnH_JWn0xIkDNxjJSTG5tiuLopy5NT21UeN44ExDO7bgRn9c/s320/C02D7168-B0B3-4A8E-A264-FB8385AE460D.jpeg" /></a></div>These are showing up a bit darker than they actually are, but the colors do run dark.

I'd been crocheting since I was a kid. But I really wanted to knit socks. And Cookie A was all the rage. So I bought her book, Sock Innovation, when I saw these socks. I loved everything about them. Even the yarn, which I also bought. <p></p><p>Happy Forest from Dream in Color on the Smooshy base. It's 100% merino, so no nylon. It feels thicker than most of my other sock yarn. It looks as if this yarn was discontinued in 2018 and replaced with a nylon blend version. I believe I have more in my stash. And I still have about a half a skein of this color. </p><p>I know the picture is a bit dark. I just took it this morning around 7:45, so not completely light out yet. They are obviously not blocked. I don't block my socks, but may with these because of the lace portion...the butterflies! (You should look at the pattern to see these better) There are so many mistakes in the butterflies, but whose going to be looking at my feet? Now my dilemma, what do I wear these in???</p><p><a href="https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/kai-mei">Kai-Mei</a> by Cookie A</p><p>Cast on: April 8, 2012, they were ripped out and re-cast on a couple of times, not sure if that is the original date.<br />Completed: September 5, 2020<br />Yarn: Smooshy by Dream in Color in Happy Forest</p><p>The leg is just a rib and goes quickly. Yesterday, I had one butterfly repeat done. I picked them up about 1:30 and finished about 10:30 (there were breaks for dinner and other things)</p><p>I am so happy that these are done!

The pattern was in Interweave Crochet Spring 2006 magazine,<br />The jute for the soles was very hard to work with, but they crocheted up quickly. I just used Lily Sugar n' Cream for the uppers. These are not for me, so are really big. It was an interesting exercise, whether I make them again is a slight possibility. Reading others project pages, they double soled to make them less floppy. I'm not, as I don't want to pick up the jute again any time soon!<p></p><p>So that was my only finish. I continue to plug away at several projects and am getting ready to start a <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/groups/designs-by-joji">Boxy by Joji Locatelli</a>. I'm going to join her Fall KAL. I didn't even know about the KAL until the Grocery Girls mentioned it. I had just bought yarn for Boxy, so figured, why not? The Grocery Girls are going to also have a Sweater KAl, so I can double dip....I may start a few other projects. </p><p> I have startitis....but school also starts this week....so probably not!</p><p>I think that is it today.....I will catch you all again next week. I have to catch up on reading some blogs..</p><p> <b style="background-color: white; color: #008953; font-family: arial, tahoma, helvetica, freesans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;"><u>2020 Completed Projects:</u></b></p><p><span face="" style="background-color: white; color: #008953; font-size: 14.85px;">Merry Knitmas - 1</span><span face="" style="background-color: white; color: #008953; font-size: 14.85px;">/25/2020</span><br /><span face="" style="background-color: white; color: #008953; font-size: 14.85px;">Box O' Chocolates - 2/23/2020</span><br /><span face="" style="background-color: white; color: #008953; font-size: 14.85px;">Sunny Skies - 2/29/2020</span><br /><span face="" style="background-color: white; color: #008953; font-size: 14.85px;">Dobby - 2/20/2020</span><br /><span face="" style="background-color: white; color: #008953; font-size: 14.85px;">Gnomes - 2/20/2020</span><br /><span face="" style="background-color: white; color: #008953; font-size: 14.85px;">Wow Factor - 3/22/2020</span><br /><span face="" style="background-color: white; color: #008953; font-size: 14.85px;">Wow Factor 2 - 3/24/2020</span><br /><span face="" style="background-color: white; color: #008953; font-size: 14.85px;">Chrono Hat - 3/24/2020</span><br /><span face="" style="background-color: white; color: #008953; font-size: 14.85px;">Showoff - 3/27/2020</span><br /><span face="" style="background-color: white; color: #008953; font-size: 14.85px;">Breeze - 4/9/2020</span><br /><span face="" style="background-color: white; color: #008953; font-size: 14.85px;"></span><span face="" style="background-color: white; color: #008953; font-size: 14.85px;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Wise One Hat - 4/18/2020</span></span></span><br /><span face="" style="background-color: white; color: #008953; font-size: 14.85px;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Lightsaber - 4/18/2020</span></span></span><br /><span face="" style="background-color: white; color: #008953; font-size: 14.85px;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Snoopy and Woodstock -5/9/2020<br /></span></span></span><u style="background-color: white; color: #008953; font-family: arial, tahoma, helvetica, freesans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;">Candy Corn Zombody</u><span face="" style="background-color: white; color: #008953; font-size: 14.85px;"> - June 7, 2020<br /><u style="font-size: 14.85px;">Patons Blue Ragg </u><span face="" style="color: #008953; font-size: 14.85px;">- June 14, 2020<br /></span></span><u style="background-color: white; color: #008953; font-family: arial, tahoma, helvetica, freesans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;">Cloudy Rainbows</u><span face="" style="background-color: white; color: #008953; font-size: 14.85px;"> - June 15, 2020<br /></span><u style="background-color: white; color: #008953; font-family: arial, tahoma, helvetica, freesans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;">Beekeeper Cardigan</u><span face="" style="background-color: white; color: #008953; font-size: 14.85px;"> - June 28, 2020<br /></span><span face="" style="background-color: white; color: #008953; font-size: 14.85px;">emPower People - July 9, 2020<br /></span><span face="" style="background-color: white; color: #008953; font-size: 14.85px;">Grinchmas Socks - July 18, 2020<br /></span><span face="" style="background-color: white; color: #008953; font-size: 14.85px;">Shortie Socks - August 22, 2020<br /></span><span face="" style="background-color: white; color: #008953; font-size: 14.85px;">Beach Bag - August 22, 2020 (finally lined, bag was finished in 2010!)<br />Seasside Espadrilles August 23, 2020</span></p><p><span face="" style="background-color: white; color: #008953; font-size: 14.85px;"><br /></span></p><p><u style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, tahoma, helvetica, freesans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;"><b>Works In Progress:</b></u><span face="" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 14.85px;"><b> </b><span style="font-size: 14.85px;"> </span></span><b style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, tahoma, helvetica, freesans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;"> </b><span face="" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 14.85px;"> </span><b style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, tahoma, helvetica, freesans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;"> </b><span face="" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 14.85px;"> </span><b style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, tahoma, helvetica, freesans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;"> </b><br /><span face="" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 14.85px;"><b>WIPS:</b> <b>Crochet:</b></span><br /><span face="" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 14.85px;"><i><u>Round Ripple</u>:</i> (Started 2006 (?)

I went a couple more weeks.....sheesh! Honestly, most of the time, I don't even remember that it is Sunday! This should change this week, as I go back to work tomorrow.</p>We start PD tomorrow and have been told that this week is virtual.. Students are suppose to start next Thursday - in-person/hybrid model. So I know I'm at school M/T/Th/F, we don't know about W yet. We know the students will all be doing virtual on Wednesdays, but we don't know yet, whether we are in school or at home. Everything keeps changing. We all expect to go fully remote at some point. I think even the superintendent believes that....even when in school, we are "distance learning." Kids will all be on computers and I'll be teaching from a computer at the front of the room.<p style="text-align: left;">I'm been having a tough time with sleeping...last night didn't get to sleep until almost 2:00am. Lots of things going on and menopause is also contributing to the sleeplessness....I just hope I can sleep once we get back to school.....</p><p style="text-align: left;">Grrrrr!!!! Just spent a bunch of time trying to figure out spacing on Blogger. The new interface, they removed to option to change spacing! I had weird spaces in my text....</p><p style="text-align: left;">So what have a I finished? Well I FINALLY sewed the lining in my "Beach Bag." It's not really big enough to be a beach bag. It's more purse sized. (There is a picture with my fingers, so you can see the sizing.) I had the lining hanging around the Homestead for awhile. Friday, I found the bag tucked into another bag. So I sat down after we got home and got my sewing on! It was all handsewn, as I can't use the machine at the moment. So sewed up the two sides of the lining and then sewed the lining into the bag.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnoctV26e90NxIoghx_5Lwsd-bmm4oe7hE6H3cLbv2PS2kE8qgrrXq2jr4VwlnvSqk6sSmKedn66fJDQ2ilw0qovlcUKe6jNH8F7SrEKOPkcFwx7hpA0T6LT3I3FrWLC8H5jcPzpQIbwY/s4896/DSC00314.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3672" data-original-width="4896" height="246" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnoctV26e90NxIoghx_5Lwsd-bmm4oe7hE6H3cLbv2PS2kE8qgrrXq2jr4VwlnvSqk6sSmKedn66fJDQ2ilw0qovlcUKe6jNH8F7SrEKOPkcFwx7hpA0T6LT3I3FrWLC8H5jcPzpQIbwY/w328-h246/DSC00314.JPG" width="328" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8vjQqBZZe7JJNUQJA-Ujd9AGENFi_OIClb_hZijh4GjDaAQwq8HADeDg8UL_qZyRsMIGCkrB0PFev7oZg4LSH-bqgmuVw8bOt22i8vVBMg0gNh3VZPJNvmrR23ZZBElxBGRMnkQKHnvo/s4896/DSC00318.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3672" data-original-width="4896" height="246" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8vjQqBZZe7JJNUQJA-Ujd9AGENFi_OIClb_hZijh4GjDaAQwq8HADeDg8UL_qZyRsMIGCkrB0PFev7oZg4LSH-bqgmuVw8bOt22i8vVBMg0gNh3VZPJNvmrR23ZZBElxBGRMnkQKHnvo/w328-h246/DSC00318.JPG" width="328" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgutcPJ1Bdfr9Ua4VUbR2XGiWebB5EMCM_AvyI9fCGzXqjWWs2O8PF97fZY3TRXuSHT9vOJGGEdN59Mx2zuGf2GX797eXBKUi5WGNd0T37lkGv7x57Sdjg-4Y9KNpjRqExPwtNkHYL5_wI/s4896/DSC00326.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4896" data-original-width="3672" height="410" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgutcPJ1Bdfr9Ua4VUbR2XGiWebB5EMCM_AvyI9fCGzXqjWWs2O8PF97fZY3TRXuSHT9vOJGGEdN59Mx2zuGf2GX797eXBKUi5WGNd0T37lkGv7x57Sdjg-4Y9KNpjRqExPwtNkHYL5_wI/w307-h410/DSC00326.JPG" width="307" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p style="text-align: left;">Pattern: Jaunty Shells by Jean Leinhauser.

Oh goodness, it's been two weeks! The first week, I really didn't have much to write about. The second week, well, I just didn't feel like it. There were some things going on in my personal life in addition to all the turmoil and ugliness happening in our country. I fell into a depression for awhile. But I did craft!<br />
<br />
I finished 4, Yes 4 sock WIPs!!!!! And I am almost done with my Beekeeper Cardigan, only needing to complete the sleeves...<br />
<br />
Remember this mess?<br />

Well I finished both socks! I actually wore them on Friday. The first sock, I finished it and then had to rip out the toe again...I hadn't decreased enough and it was a very large weird square toe. But I'm so happy with them now! I will definitely wear them now! I finished them in 2013 and never wore them.<br />

The pattern in Sour Apple Socks by Cherry Tree Hill Yarn (Sharon Mooney)<br />
The yarn is Lorna's Laces Solemate in Camouflage<br />
I used size 2 DPNs<br />
I originally started them in July of 2012 and finished them in April 2013, but because they were so big and mismatched, I never wore them.<br />
<br />

I finished my Desert Vista Dyeworks Zombody is Eating Candy Corn. <br />
The pattern is Vanilla Latte<br />
The heels are Fish Lips Kiss heel and in the Green Decomp colorway, also from DVD.<br />
I used 9 inch ChiaGoo metal in US 1 or 2.25 circulars, two at a time.<br />
There is a weird bump in the heels, but they'll be fine when I wear them.<br />

Yarn: Paton's Blue Ragg sock<br />
Pattern: Vanilla pattern, which is 56 stitches for me. To give it some texture, when changing colors, I would slip the 8th stitch. <br />
The yarn is listed as fingering, but it's a heavy fingering. They are thick socks, so will be good boot socks.<br />
Slipped stitch heel<br />
Needles were 9 inch Hiya Hiya bamboo circs in US size 0<br />
I started these in January of 2020, after seeing Angela of YarnnYarns start a pair.<br />
<br />

Pattern: Vanilla Latte<br />
Yarn: Manic Pixie Dream Zooey in Cloudy with a Chance of Rainbows. Unfortunately, she is no longer dying. I believe this is my last skein of her yarn. I really love her yarn!<br />
Needles: US 1.5, 2.5 mm, I think they were ChiaGoo<br />
Slipped Stitch heel<br />
Started in May of 2018<br />
<br />
And I have finished the body of my Beekeeper Cardigan! On to sleeve island....<br />

I'm very excited to get it done, as I have several more garments waiting in the wings.<br />
<br />
I still have around 10 sock WIPs. I started a new one on Knit in Public Day. So I'm trying to get them under control!<br />
<br />
School is done as of Friday the 12th, although starting in July, I'm going to meet with my kids once a week and read to them. We are also meeting on the 24th to celebrate a birthday. We still have no idea what is happening in the fall. I still don't go out much. I have had a couple of social get-togethers, as one of our teachers has retired. <br />
<br />
I also went to a Black Student Forum. I did not state it earlier, but Black Lives Matter.<br />
<br />
All of these gatherings were outside and masks were worn for the most part. I wear glasses and have allergies, so often I need to move the mask away from my nose, as I'm congested and can't breathe or my glasses have fogged up.<br />
<br />
That's about it for me right now. I never posted my last video and haven't felt like doing a new one yet. I have some things coming in the mail, so I may be filming this week to do some "unboxing."<br />
<br />
Take care and I'll see you next week.<br />
<br />

<br />
Good morning! WiFi is especially sucky right now! Even those people with the "better" wifi are complaining about it dropping out. I need to go to my other house, as I've been trying to upload a new vlog since yesterday and it is just not happening. So those of you who watch my youtube channel, there will be a new video up this week...possibly two!<br />
<br />
Liz from Highland Heffalump asked if I have second sock syndrome...Nope....I have HEEL Syndrome! I get to the heel of a sock and I stop...and it'll go weeks, sometimes months before I put the heel in.....I'll cast on the second sock, or cast on a new sock before doing the heels...I don't know why...well that's not true....I do know why...heels are not intuitive...and I have to stop and look at the directions and I have to focus on them....so if I'm tired or want something easy, I don't work on heels..<br />
<br />
Also, someone has asked about Beach Bag....to be honest, I don't know where it is right now....between the two houses, I haven't been able to locate it....And the title is misleading...it's more of a purse, it's not a big bag. I found the fabric for the lining at the other house this week, but not the bag...sigh....but here is a very bad picture of it, it is listed in my projects on Ravelry<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
So this has been the week of the WIPS.....I have been working on some old projects.....<br />
<br />
I finally finished sock 1 of my Kai-Mei by Cookie A. These were the socks that made me want to learn to knit. I cast on the first one April 8, 2012 and cast it off yesterday....I had to fudge the toe, as I had way too many stitches....<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

And I cast on the second one...the leg goes fast on these and the yarn. The yarn is Dream in Color Smooshy, which although a fingering, is thicker than most.<br />
<br />
I also pulled this beast out....<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This is a blanket for my friend's youngest son. He picked out the yarn when he was 8 or 9, he just graduated high school. There are more than 300 stitches per round!!!! This is how many rounds I've done...<br />

I also did another two repeats of my Beekeeper Cardigan.<br />
<br />
And this morning I pulled out this mess...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

These are the Sour Apple Socks. I finished them years ago. And have never worn them. The feet are short and fat. So I pulled out the foot and now am pulling out the heel flap. It was 3 inches long! My heel flaps are, at the most, 1.75 inches. And it was just a stockinette heel, so ripping it to make it a slipped stitch heel. But now I have this mess...<br />

Good morning! I skipped last week, as I didn't have much to say. I did post a new vlog though, I will link it at the end.<br />
<br />
I have not finished anything. I have been skipping around and working on several WIPs...chiefly my Beekeeper Cardigan. It took me a few minutes to remember where I was....and then I started back on it...and I kept working on it, until I hit a "I don't want to do anything wall" Yeah, so the past couple of days, I haven't worked on anything.<br />

The several pairs of socks I am working on....I will finish these before casting on another pair...however, I did also work on a pair that I had cast on awhile ago. I'm making shortie socks with that yarn.....<br />

I found this project in the Knitty City bag (I talk about this on the vlog) I had cast on 100 stitches. I wanted just a simple cowl to work on on the train ride home. It never got farther than the cast-on. I added 20 stitches, did a purl row, k2together, yarn over row, purl row and am just knitting it now...I'll finish it with the same purl, k2 tog, purl repeat....I love the Freia yarn...<br />

I've added onto this blanket. This was a Roald Dahl club I belonged to for a year. I tore out the original, which was mitered and decided to go with this block pattern from Purl Soho. That is two strands of dk held together.<br />

We have 3 weeks of school left.....I love teaching, and I miss my kids, but I will be glad when this year is over....<br />
<br />
I have to go in on Tuesday to pack what I can of my room.....we are each given 2 hours. I have another 2 hours the following week because of my mobility issues, I am very slow, so they gave me another two hours.<br />

Hello and good morning. It is a bright and sunny Sunday morning here. It was very cloudy when we woke up, but has brightened up throughout the morning.<br />
<br />
I have taped another vlog, but it won't be up until later today. So if you watch my vlogs, you can check back today or tomorrow. I'm enjoying doing the vlogs, just wish my wifi was more cooperative!<br />
<br />
So yesterday, while filming the vlog, I grabbed an old in-progress project, <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/meandering-top" target="_blank">The Meandering Top</a>. It is a project from Knit.Purl magazine from spring/simmer 2015. I actually love several projects in the magazine. I didn't know where I was, so I pulled it off the lifeline and then tried it on. It was absolutely GI-NORMOUS on me. I could fold it over almost half way. So it was HUGE. I used the needle required and the yarn. I am a loose knitter and obviously I didn't swatch. Well I did that yesterday. I had to down two needle sizes. It was suppose to be 4" for 22 stitches. I was getting 5 1/4" So BIG!....So I ripped it back. Ripped out two balls of yarn. I am now knitting from the previous project..<br />

I've finished the band and will be starting on the short rows next. <br />
<br />
And I've been working on socks. The two I finished last week, I've started and gotten to the leg on both second socks. I've also put in the heels and gotten to the feet on my Desert Vista Dyeworks Zombody Eating Candy Corn socks. I put in the Fish Lips Kiss Heel and they both turned out a bit wonky....not wonky enough to rip out, but wonky nonetheless.....<br />

It is also Amiguramay on Instagram. I didn't have any ami's started on Friday when it started with WIPs. I have a Moose. but to me an amigurami is small and the Moose is not small. So I have to figure out what I'm going to start.....maybe I'll start the Snoopy and Woodstock, as they are favorites of my Mom to gift for Mother's Day....yeah, that seems like a plan...<br />
<br />
See you next week....<br />

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....<br />
<br />
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!<br />

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!<br />

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.<br />
<br />
I have several socks in progress....got heels in on three socks, down to toe decreases on one of them.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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! <br />
<br />
I guess that is all for this week. I'll see you next week.<br />

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!<br />
<br />
I finished 3 and a half hats!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

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.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

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. <br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />

So a friend made a hat for her daughter and I thought it was brilliant....so here is my Chrono Cap. <br />
<br />
I also finished a baby hat, but didn't take a picture.<br />

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.<br />

I don't have a completed picture of my Breeze, next week....but it is done!<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
I did publish a vlog last week and another this week, so if you'd like to take a look<br />

<br />
Neither are longer than 25 minutes....I hope you'll take a look.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
See you next week....<br />

Hello! How is everyone doing out in Chrono Virus land? So we have been out of school for a week and we now have now "back to school" date. When we first left, they said we'd be back on the 30th....yeah, that is not happening. Many of us feel as if we are out for the year. We actually may go back, as our last day is not until June 19..plenty of time....We have one week of planning and then virtual learning starts on the 30th...it's a new world, people!<br />
<br />
I have not been crafting on much...I did finish Dobby and his sock...<br />

Good morning! So Bella the Cat wakes us on the weekends early. Since I'm up before 6 on weekdays, she needs us up by 6 on the weekends too. Yawn.....<br />
<br />
I have no finished objects this week, but I do have another video up. This one is a bit longer at 31 minutes. I do touch on some of the controversy in the yarn world.<br />
<br />
And oh my goodness, am I excited! I saw a trailer for a new movie when I hopped on youtube this morning...<br />

The Secret Garden is my all time favorite book! Colin Firth is my favorite actor and he played a grown-up Colin in the 1987 version and is now playing Lord Craven. And Julie Walters! Who've I've been told is a British national treasure. I adore her too! It seems like they are going to make the garden more actually "magical" but I'm okay with that! So excited!<br />
<br />
Okay back to projects. I've been working on shawls this week....I need to take some pictures, I'll be right back...they may be crappy...<br />
<br />
My Van Gogh, such a fun pattern and quick! It's a 12 row repeat....and really quick...<br />

Breeze, so I'm on the second of the three colors. I'm almost done with the green. Then it'll be a middle grey and the last color is a darker grey with black. The yarn is Koigu, which I LOVE!<br />
<br />
So that is pretty much all I've worked on. I've put some rows on some socks, but nothing to really talk about....<br />
<br />
Hopefully you can check out my video....It took 5 HOURS to upload! For 31 minutes!<br />

<br />
So I missed a couple of weeks. I'm sorry.<br />
<br />
Let's talk mental health and women's health. If you watch my YouTube channel, you may have seen this already...<br />
<br />
I'm in perimenopause.....so much fun, not...anyway, there is a high rate of suicide and suicide attempts among women between the ages of 46-56....after I was first officially diagnosed, I started having some suicidal thoughts....this is not a side effect of menopause that is widely known, but it is a major side effect...I realized that something was wrong and contacted my doctor, she put me on hormones...this month (February), I forgot to take them....so until the 11th, when I remembered I had not taken them. I was having a really bad day...I came home from school and told my husband to put away all the pain medication and I took my hormone. After being on them for a few days, I am much better....but it was a bad week and a half....I didn't want to do anything. I wanted to stay in bed. I had to force myself to get out of bed and go to work.<br />
So, my warning is just be aware that this is a side effect and take care of yourself...<br />
<br />
Needless to say not much crafting has happened...I have mostly been working on one pair of socks...I'd hoped to have them done by Valentine's Day, but that did not happen....<br />
<br />
Okay, so this is the new stuff....since I last wrote, I've finished two pair of socks...The second pair last night at 11:00.<br />

This is Box O'Chocolates. I wanted to finish them for Valentine's Day, but that did not happen.<br />
Yarn is Freckled Whimsey Dreamy, which is 75% merino, 15% nylon, 10% tencel in the colorway Sweet Treats and Rosy Cheeks.<br />
<br />
The pattern is, of course, Vanilla Latte...with a Fish Lips Kiss Heel. The cuff and heel are Leading Men Fiber Arts in Bent Neck Lady (I believe, I don't have it listed in my stash)<br />
<br />

Sunny Skies, again Vanilla Latte with a slip stitch heel. I used some leftover yarn from White Birch Fiber Arts for the rainbow heels.<br />
<br />
The yarn is CuppyCake Yarnz in Sunny Skies. It is 75% Sw merino, 25% nylon. I'm not sure where I got the yarn, it's not listed on my Ravelry page. I don't think she is dying any longer.<br />
<br />
There are blotches of orange throughout the yarn.<br />

which is kind of annoying, you can see two in this photo<br />
<br />
So I'm glad to have some free needles. I have lots more self stripe socks to cast on. But I do still have about 12 pair on the needles, so may finish one or two pair more before casting on again.<br />
<br />
I think I'm going to focus on the Van Gogh shawl for now....<br />

I haven't worked on it since casting on.<br />
<br />
There has also been some stash acquisition, not too much..<br />
<br />
Lollipop Yarn is hard to get, so when I caught an update, I picked this up - Irish Lullaby<br />

We also adopted a cat. Those of you that follow me on Instagram have already met Bella. We got her on Valentine's Day. She just turned 4 in early February, was owner surrounded. She's a love bug, I absolutely LOVE her...she was an indoor/outdoor cat and is getting used to being an indoor cat.<br />

Still No Header, Got to Work On That</div>
<br />
<br />
Hello my friends! Can you believe we are almost done with the first month of this year already? It's going fast...I'll be on summer break soon at this rate!<br />
<br />
It was a bad week for me physically...and for a short week, it was long! The exhaustion part of my disease reared its head this week. I was asleep by 9:00 every day...and this morning at 1:30 AM, I had to get up to take a pain pill.....it's raining today, which is always a trigger for me...so I have stayed in bed, finished a pair of socks, ordered some Desert Vista Dyeworks, watched tv and some podcasts.<br />
<br />
So Desert Vista Dyseworks does a Zombody self stripe series....all of her self stripe are cool...I have made a pair of socks, and a shawl (that didn't work out) from her If You Kill series, which is based on The Walking Dead. It is dyed on order, so takes awhile to ship...but I've been thinking about ordering for awhile, so figured today was a good day.<br />
<br />
I have a finish! <br />

My Merry Knitmas socks! The yarn is by Oink Pigments. When I bought it, I thought it was a self stripe, but it wasn't. They spiral pretty cool, so not unhappy with them. The makeup is 92% merino and 8% metallic. They feel a little rough, but I'm sure will soften up. The cuffs and toes are done with Brazen Stitchery in Orion Slave Girl. It was a surprise skein with an order. The pattern is Vanilla Latte, my go to vanilla sock pattern, as I need the grip it provides.<br />

I also finished my first Sunny Skies sock. I pulled it out of the bag during the video and realized I just had to do the toe. I used some leftovers from a rainbow sock to make the heel. I'm not sure this dyer is still dying, the rainbow dyer is still dying.<br />
<br />
Most of the week, because of the exhaustion, I did not have the brain space to work on anything harder than a vanilla sock. So lots of rows got put on to different socks...<br />
<br />
I did get my shawl video up on Monday, I believe, so I'll post it below. I'm kind of addicted to making videos right now. Of course, it couldn't happen when I had good wifi! LOL....<br />

So that's it for me this week....I'll read everyone's when I have the time.....and I'll see you next week.<br />

Still Don't Have a Header..I'll Make One This Weekend</div>
<br />
Good morning! So I've updated my list. I actually have more socks than I showed on the video (<a href="https://graceysgoodies.blogspot.com/2020/01/year-of-projects-year-7-week-1.html" target="_blank">last week's post, if you missed it</a>). I have a pair that is only a cuff and one repeat, the Espalair ones. I also have a pair that I frogged the leg on one of the socks, as I'd done the two socks at different times and the different tension was obvious. They are beaded...so they'll be making a reappearance at some point.<br />
<br />
I started a new shawl, The Van Gogh. I bought the yarn last week at Slater Mill. It's from Fiber Stash and I think I want it done for St. Patrick's Day...It's a dropped stitch shawl, so may go fast. I started it today and got through three repeats, I think I'm going to love it!<br />

I also "restarted" the Zomboni scarf. I didn't frog the whole thing and the beginning is a mess, I couldn't read the pattern yet. But once I got it going, I'm loving it! The yarn is The Farmer's Daughter in Foxy Lady. It's a 70% merino, 30% silk blend and just lovely<br />

This I bought at Slater Mill. It was discounted from Christmas. I mainly got it for the straights. I don't have a ton of straights. There are 18 pair included. You could have chosen one with circs (my friend Maureen got those) or crochet hooks. They are just plain bamboo straights. The yarn and mug were included. I don't use cotton too often, it hurts my hands too much, although I can crochet with cotton without too much issue...<br />
<br />
So I'm getting ready to publish. Been dealing with a nasty headache all morning. I do have another video ready, but my wifi is being a b*tch! The Hubs and I can't even send each other GIFs right now! I'm going to have to go to my other house and clear the cache, let the pictures and videos upload, because they are just stuck right now...we did have a snowstorm which does affect our reception....<br />
<br />
I use my camera for stash photos, so I don't have to upload them via the wifi, as I use the SDHC card...I might try video taping that way too, but my camera does not have a front facing screen option...or just keep dealing with the wifi issues.<br />
<br />
Anyway, I will have a video up on my Youtube channel (Graceysgoodies) probably late tomorrow. It is about my 11 shawl WIPs that I have heading into the new year...without the two more I cast on since then!<br />
<br />
See you in the comments!<br />

I don't have a banner yet<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: purple;">This is both a wrap-up of 2019 and a start for 2020.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: purple;">So I finished 22 projects in 2019. Several pairs of socks, a couple of shawls and cowls, and a few toys and amiguramis....</span><br />
<span style="color: purple;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: purple;">For 2020, I am going to focus on WIPs and projects I already have the yarn and pattern...there are a lot of these!</span><br />
<span style="color: purple;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: purple;">I was watching Angela of YarnNYarns podcast and her 12 Castons and I did start a few new projects.</span><br />
<span style="color: purple;">I cast on a Zomboni, I had bought the yarn and pattern this summer. I started a pair of baby shoes, but they are looking huge..again with yarn and a pattern I already owned. I also bought a crochet kit to make the Harry Potter characters.</span><br />
<span style="color: purple;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: purple;">So I'm going to clean up my list.....and working from my queue (or library), which I've started to organize and my stash is my goal this year. Will that mean I won't buy yarn..LOLOLOLOLOLOL....nope! But I will be more mindful of the buying....I've already purchased yarn this year, so that is out the window...</span><br />
<span style="color: purple;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: purple;">I'm also going to vlog at least once a month...I'm thinking a wrap-up one at the end of the month...</span><br />
<span style="color: purple;"><br /></span>
I had every intention of posting last week...and well it didn't happen, so the above is from last week...This week I worked a bit on socks, I started a Dobby amigurami (no pictures yet)..AND I went to to the Slater Mill Knitting Weekend and bought some yarn...of course I did! We then stopped at a yarn store on the way home from Rhode Island...I had been years ago, and they have moved since I was last there.....The Mermaid's Purl..super cute store...<br />
<br />
I've been into the mohair lately, and bought several skeins of it....next week, I'll start my 2020 list...I'm going to pop a couple videos in at the end, if you'd like to take a look...they are about the WIPs, I am starting the year with....<br />

Good afternoon...so I missed a week...I had stuff to post, just not the energy to post....and my wifi sucks...if you've tried following my vlogmas, last Sunday, I could not get it to upload....I finally got four days of vlogmas uploaded on Thursday, when I went and hung out at McDonalds and used their wifi!!! But here is yesterday's if interested...the rest are uploaded on youtube...<br />

This is going in time-out....It's suppose to be the <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/litmus-cowl" target="_blank">Litmus Cowl</a>. But just reading it again, she used 5g skeins and I think mine are 20 g skeins...and I don't like the gauge. I've already pulled it out once and went down a needle size...but now I'm thinking of doing <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/adventuresome-wrap" target="_blank">Adventuresome Wrap</a>, as I saw someone's on vlogmas and it was gorgeous! And the pattern is on sale....so.......<br />
<br />
I think that is it...while recently hunting through my stash found a started cowl...just a simple garter cowl in Lion Brand Thick and Quick....pulled that out and it's what I've been working on while the pictures upload....think I'll finish it and gift it....<br />
<br />
okay that's it for now...if you have the time to watch my vlogmas, that would be awesome..please leave a comment...most are shorter than 5 minutes...a couple are longer....thanks!<br />
