I need a break from Large Projects after those work pants, hoooooh boy. A small cross-stitching project should do the trick – I started this one not long ago, and as I type this, it’s nearly ready to come off the hoop. I have also cast on (a gauge swatch of) another knitted scarf, this…… Continue reading Project Roundup

There’s a few things on the go behind-the-scenes, starting with this turquoise sewing project: It is a fairly small project, and it’s coming together nice and quickly. The next crochet stuffed toy pattern is coming along well, too – and I have made progress on formatting the Lewt document too! Not much, mind you, but…… Continue reading Project Roundup

Winter solstice is coming up in my hemisphere, so naturally, I am making some embroidered sun decorations. *shrugs* Hopefully, these will be done by next week, so stay tuned for the sunshine! In other news, I have spent today cutting out a new pant pattern, which has 26 pattern pieces (!). I am not using…… Continue reading Project Roundup

First things first, happy Calendar Change of Season! I have been eagerly awaiting cooler weather for months, and this is a corner turned. It’s downhill from here (for the mercury)! Long-time readers may remember this crocheted cardigan I made for Tiffany, many moons ago. The sleeves were too tight on her, so I took it…… Continue reading Project Roundup

I completed all the squares for my peach/purple/grey blanket recently, so it is three-quarters complete! I have begun the process of crocheting all the squares together, which is not taking as long as I thought. I am working on it daily, which is probably why it’s coming together quickly. The plan is to make three…… Continue reading Project Roundup

Can you believe it’s December tomorrow? I sure can’t. Christmas decorations have gone up, but it feels almost too soon, in a way. I do have plans to make a couple more decorations this month in-between making gifts, so hopefully that will make me feel more festive. In the meantime, I am well into the…… Continue reading Project Roundup

My second crochet blanket is coming along nicely. I am over halfway through the squares now, and I’ve been thinking about how I’ll join them all together. I might connect the rows into strips first, then assemble them into three blocks (rows 1-4, 5-8, and 9-12), then stitch the blocks together. That shouldn’t be too…… Continue reading Project Roundup

It feels like there’s loads happening behind the camera at the moment! Some of those things are gifts, so they need to stay secret, but in the meantime, I’ve been dyeing more socks for myself. These were completed last weekend, and I’m happy with the different colour combinations I did this time. The brown is…… Continue reading Project Roundup

I like to do any mending for summer clothes in winter, when I have a spare moment, so they are prepared for the next hot season. Thus, this leafy shirt I made at the start of this year has some little holes developing under the underarms. Can you see it? There is a patch on…… Continue reading Project Roundup

August already, huh? I’m running out of cold weather for all the winter projects I want to do! I’ve been doing quite a bit of knitting recently, making a bunch of these rectangles. All is planned to be revealed soon…. (but feel free to guess what they might be!) (Side note: I purchased these stitch…… Continue reading Project Roundup
