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 30 Lewis County Fair 24

I wanted to do a quick update about the Fair. We kept it really low key this year. I entered 10 items into the fair and we only went one day to just look around. We refrained from rides and excessive amounts of fair food. So, onto my entries: I entered: a sewn tote bag, which I think I blogged about a few weeks ago. It got first place then went on to win Best in Show. Sewn Tote with Best in Show ribbon I also entered the beaded shawl I finished in June, that also won a blue ribbon and went on to receive Best in Show. Beaded Holden mixed among other Best in Show items Six of my other items also won blue ribbons: Liara's socks Mandy Cowl Killer Queen Cowl Clean Windmill Dishcloth set Sacket's Harbor Mittens and Drops of Spring Fingerless Mitts The second place ribbon I received for my Hum Beanie is also in this picture. Then I received third place for Sunset Hat. The first and second place entries for this class are in this picture ...

YOP: Week 39

In anticipation of the Boo Knits MKAL starting on October 1st I got out my Dye For Yarn so I could wind it with my new yarn winder. I quickly found that the winder I chose is a piece of crap. The yarn guide doesn't stay in place and drops while winding which feeds the yarn directly into the open gears. The spindle base also isn't large enough to accommodate 100 gram skeins. It is nice and quiet and it didn't roll backward when I had to stop often because the yarn wasn't cooperating with me either. The hank was extra twisted and crinkly in one spot so it kept getting stuck on itself and needed to be teased apart. Overall it was a very negative winding experience. I just went back to Amazon to read the reviews on the winder to see if it was just my winder. Nope, each review said the same thing. I'm not sure why I didn't think to read the reviews before I ordered this one, I usually do. I have a different winde...

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...
