The Internets Win Again

So problem solved! I want to thank TECHknitting for the answer to the separating stands issue. I did a random Google search with the hope that someone else has had the same problem I had and had the solution for it. To say I found a gold mine in the TECHknitting blog is an understatement. For any knitters new and old I highly recommend this blog. There are excellent written instructions and wonderful illustrations that actually help. I could write and entire post praising this blog... It's going to be my go to for any issues I have in the future Thank you TK!!!

YOP: Week 29

The fair was a success. My items did well and Liara got some ribbons as well. We went to the parade on Tuesday, then down to the grounds once it was over. We stopped by one local vender to grab some jewelry, grabbed some donuts from the Donut Diner then went to see how we placed. Liara entered earrings that she hand-made with clay. They did not place. She entered a beaded bracelet that got first. She also entered three of her drawings. A Pegasus, a bunny and a magical worm. The bunny and the worm received third and the Pegasus received second. The bunny is my personal favorite of all the drawings she's done. There is always a really good turn out in the drawing and photography categories, so she was up against some stiff competition. I'm really happy she received some ribbons. My items are as follows: Rotini Beanie; First Enchantress MKAL; First. Sunburst Potholder; Second. Cow and Hen Dishcloth set; ...

YOP: Week 52

As the year comes to a close, I've been looking at my queue and starting to plan out a few projects for 2025. After having to cold sheep for the majority of this past year, I'm going into next year with some guidelines. When I purchase yarn, I really want to stick to purchasing for specific patterns. I took advantage of Miss Babs annual gratitude sale and purchased specifically for two patterns. I also want to continue to knit from stash whenever possible. I have paired up yarn with patterns for several and they've been moved up in my queue. I'll have more time, so I plan to participate in several swaps in 2025. I'll be getting yarn from these so I'm going to try to stick to swaps only for "unplanned" stash acquisition. I have several carry-over projects I didn't get to this year, which seems to be a theme every year. So tentatively this is my meager list for 2025: - Butterfly--Papillon with Urth Ya...

Year of Projects: Week 53; El Fin.

I thought I'd do a quick review of my Year of Projects. I started participating around week 5 so I'm summing up my year from that point to present. I have 24 project entries on Ravelry. (If I do several dishcloths back-to-back, I usually only make one project entry, so there are more than 24 individual finished items. Direct Link to Goal Post: YOP first post I finished: -3 pairs of fingerless mitts -2 pairs of mittens -2 pairs of socks -5 hats -2 cowls -2 baby blankets -16 dishcloths -1 potholder -1 shawl I have one sock that's going to be frogged and half of another dishcloth that's sitting around because I ran out of that colorway of yarn. I do have a few other WIPs still hanging about from prior to August of last year. (We're going to keep pretending they don't exist.) I made a simple little picture "movie" of my projects, enjoy: As far as my quickly thrown together list: I completed 3/5 of my projected projects......
