Knit Crochet Blog Week Day Seven

Day Seven (Sunday 17th May): Your Time, Your Place. Where and how do you take time out to knit and/or crochet? Maybe you don’t take time out at all and instead have your needles twirling as you try to juggle a multitude of other tasks with no ‘spare’ time to think of. Maybe you enjoy nothing more than to crochet whilst winding down from a yoga session, chatting with some friends in a nearby café.

My little poll in the sidebar didn't quite work yesterday. Which is fine since that question was just a joke anyway. Thank you to everyone who checked out my survey monkey poll. Alrighty on to todays prompt. Generally I knit after work. I get myself settled down on my side of the couch, usually with a TV show going in the background and I craft to my hearts content until I have to go to bed. If I have tasks to do around the apartment I make sure they're done before I sit down because once I get all situated I don't tend to get back up again. I do make an attempt to keep what I'm working on organized and out of the way, but now with our smaller apartments my things have migrated and are taking over the side of the couch... and behind it actually. Its nice though to have what I need just an arms length away. I also have to stay on top of keeping it tidy because my side of the couch is right by the hallway back to the bedrooms, so if I don't keep it tidy it'll be a tripping hazard.

Its a mess, I know. I need to weave in ends on a few things and get them put away properly. I'm not sure how the pattern laying behind the couch got there, but I need to put that with the other pages and I need to clean out that green bag. There are several dishcloths and a hat buried in that one. It works though, so that's something. The cats have been leaving it alone, which is a huge plus.

Well, this week has been fun. I've enjoyed reading everyone else's responses to these prompts. Hopefully mine were somewhat interesting. I've found at least one new blog to follow, yea. Until later. Happy Crafting!

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 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....

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 ...
