Move!

     So, I've been a bit quiet here.  It's because hubs and I moved.  We are now residing in Watertown, NY.  We have both gotten new jobs and found ourselves a nice quiet apartment just a few miles off the beaten path.  Packing up all of our things and moving them up here has taken up all my time for the last two weeks.  Upstate asked me to stay as long as I could feasibly.  So last week I commuted back and forth to Syracuse.  I like to drive, I don't mind being in a car for lengthy amounts of time.  However, two hours a day is not fun.  My last day was yesterday and we had one doozy of a storm system come in fast at night.  I made it back to Watertown okay, but wowee it was a bit rough in a couple places.  I'm really glad the commute is over.  Hubs has been wonderful and gotten our new apartment all unpacked and in order.  He made it a home in just a few days!  We're still working out all the logistics of updating our address with everyone important.  All of my yarn and needles are still packed up.  I haven't had time to get that stuff in order yet.  Now that I'm done with Upstate and have a week off before I start with Samaritan I hope to get that put in order.  I haven't done any knitting for about three weeks now and I'm getting antsy.  
     I've joined Team Space Alliance for Nerdopolis, which is very very similar to what Nerd Wars used to be.  The challenges are all up and I cant get to my yarn... ahhh.  I'll be changing that this week.  
     We're using this week off as a vacation of sorts.  The weather is supposed to be nice in the next couple of days, so we're going to be doing some snowmobiling.  I'll be going to sewing circle tomorrow to tie some quilts.  I'll have some more updates once I get back to knitting.  Until later.

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...
