You May Now Call Me the Melter of Cubes!

I never said I was normal. So I melted the cube this round, oh yea. Its my first time so I'm pretty excited. "Melting the cube" is when someone completes all six challenges in a round. I credit my cube meltage to the week of "vacation" I had. So my last challenge submission was for Giving Geeks. I donated 7 hats to St. Josephs Hospital Health Center. They were all baby hats, so they'll be given to newborns.

The two pink/yellow ones, the turquois and red and white striped one were what I had lying around. The true blue, brown and purple/pink ones, I knit over the weekend.

The brown one is Baby Bear Newborn Hat, and I love it. I nearly kept it for myself. I dont have enough of that color to make another. I do have more yarn, in a lighter brown. The purplish one is just a basic hat. I've done several if these now. I used that hat in particular for my team tie in. I had Daniel take it over to the Wells' with the teddy bear for baby Janet. The true blue one is Aston. I do like that one, but I didnt execute the pattern properly. It turned out a bit small, but I think it will fit someone.

Here's some better pics. Also meet Jordan, the best son I'll ever have.

Now, I'm really looking forward to March. I have already found a pattern I might use for next round. Although I may keep that one on the back burner for later, it calls for US1 needles. Thoes are TINY. Maybe that can be my dissertation next tourney.

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; ...

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......

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...
