Knit Crochet Blog Week Day 2

Here we are at day two. The prompt for today is:
Write a dating profile for one of your past finished projects.

I'll start out with this; I've never written a dating profile since I was lucky enough to stumble upon my husband at an early age and never had to jump through the veritable hoops that some other people have had to.

Hi all, my name is Cassis. I'm a spunky little shawlette who was knit up in the lively city of Syracuse. I'm only three months old, a nice little catch fresh out of the cradle ;) I'm just a small crescent shawl, a scarf if that's what you prefer, but I'm pure Merino so I'll keep you warm in a cool situation. I'm also the proud owner of 987 cobalt beads. I may be small, but I pack a sufficient amount of bling; perfect shoulder candy for that night out.

I love to go out, be it on the town sprucing up the go to LBD, dressing up that blouse and jeans. (I am the perfect shade of blue after all.) Or just wrapped around the neck for warmth and style on a cooler day. Don't be afraid to get out and have fun, I'm amade of superwash Merino. I'm a pretty easy-going piece of knitwear, I don't have too many dislikes, maybe just the color red... Where do I hope to go in the future, lots more parties that's where. Of course being a shawlette, I could settle down, hang out in the rocker on grannies shoulders, but why waste these good looks on staying home? Take me out and show me off baby!

'Til tomorrow, Happy Crafting!

YOP: Week 36

I didn't get any crafting done this week. I did receive my swap package from the My Favorite Things swap. Here's what I received: An ample stack of fabric squares. Most are knitting related, the rest coordinate well. A book that looks interesting, The Vampire Knitting Club, one of my favorite candies, a skein of Alpaca yarn in a glorious color and cat chair feet. My daughter commandeered a couple of them already. I'm going to put a set on the clothes chair in the bedroom. All in all it was a fun swap. I also signed up for the Halloween Mini and got my partner assignment. I've got some ideas brewing for that one. Since my knitting mojo still hasn't returned despite the change in weather, I picked up a book (kindle) series instead. About two years ago I read an excellent science fiction romance; The Viridian Priestess. I know I talked about it. It was my favorite boo...

YOP: Week 34

I did some crafting this week, but it was all for the swap. I was nearly out of interfacing so I ran over to The Quilt Shop in Watertown. I'd been there once a couple of years ago and thought their prices were very good considering they are independent and Joanne and Hobby Lobby were both in Watertown at the time. They have really expanded and have a tremendous selection. They have more novelty type fabrics now, which is what I prefer for my bags, so I will be going there much more often.... probably too much. I got interfacing and I found two prints that were perfect for my swapee. I really wasn't expecting to find what I did. I sewed a bag with those two prints and two of the fabrics I picked up from Walmart. The Walmart fabric was acceptable. Not groundbreaking, but decent enough that if I find cute prints I'll probably grab them. I finished the handknit earlier today. I want to steam block it yet, ...

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...
