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!

Year of Projects: Week 45

No post last week as we were all down with a nasty stomach bug. I finally started feeling better on Friday. I didn't get very much done because of it. I didn't even get out of bed last Sunday. I was able to finish the Sunset Hat . I think it turned out nicely. I was worried the Glitter and the Sunset colorways would be too similar, which is why I put the English Rose in between them, but I think the combo works pretty well. I finished up one more dish cloth; another Star Fish type so I won't post another identical picture. I've made one more dishcloth since the Nerdopolis tournament ended on the 30th. We're in a break month now. I had hoped to get a few rows done on my Holden shawl, but that didn't happen. I'm going to try to get it done this month. There is a fiber festival in June, the CNY Fiber Fest, so I'm starting to plan for that. I went last year and it was very fun....

Knit Crochet Blog Week Day One

Day One (Monday 11th May): If You Were Yarn. If you were a type or brand of yarn, which would you be? Are you a classic pure wool? Is there extra tension but a bit of bounce in you because of your high twist? Would you be more like a high-maintenance, strictly hand-wash fluffy angora or a ‘bring it on’ acrylic, bravely heading into the world of possible baby-sick laundering disasters knowing that you will always come out bright and unharmed? If I had been asked this question back in January of 2014 I think my answer would be very different from the one I'm about to give today. Since that time I have started my second new job and have moved my entire household to a smaller city. Granted the move was what I wanted, but there has been a transition period for me after leaving everything I'd known and become accustomed to behind after 12 years. I've made new friends twice, gotten used to different policie...

Year of Projects: Week 33

I started a pair of socks for myself. I'm not good about checking gauge for anything. So very quickly I realized the sock was looking very small. I decided to keep going and make them for Liara instead. I had her try it on after I turned the heel and it fit her perfectly. I finished the first sock already. The yarn is ONline Supersocke 100. (This yarn and several other skeins were given to me by my Aunt Linda a few years before she passed away.) I'm using a pattern from one of my physical pattern books. One of my goals last year was to use more of my books. I started out strong then tapered off through the year. So I'm renewing that goal for this year. It's the Handpaint Highlight Socks by Leah Oakley from the One Skein Wonders book. I'm going to needle up a bit and still make a pair for myself. I'm going to make them shortie socks though. I think I'll have enough yarn for...
