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!

YOP: Week 29

    The fair was a success.  My items did well and Liara got some ribbons as well.  We went to the parade on Tuesday, then down to the grounds once it was over.  We stopped by one local vender to grab some jewelry, grabbed some donuts from the Donut Diner then went to see how we placed.  Liara entered earrings that she hand-made with clay.  They did not place.  She entered a beaded bracelet that got first. She also entered three of her drawings.  A Pegasus, a bunny and a magical worm.  The bunny and the worm received third and the Pegasus received second.   The bunny is my personal favorite of all the drawings she's done.  There is always a really good turn out in the drawing and photography categories, so she was up against some stiff competition.  I'm really happy she received some ribbons. My items are as follows: Rotini Beanie; First Enchantress MKAL; First. Sunburst Potholder; Second.  Cow and Hen Dishcloth set; ...

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...

Year of Projects: Week 53; El Fin.

      I thought I'd do a quick review of my Year of Projects.  I started participating around week 5 so I'm summing up my year from that point to present.  I have 24 project entries on Ravelry.  (If I do several dishcloths back-to-back, I usually only make one project entry, so there are more than 24 individual finished items.  Direct Link to Goal Post:  YOP first post   I finished: -3 pairs of fingerless mitts -2 pairs of mittens -2 pairs of socks -5 hats -2 cowls -2 baby blankets -16 dishcloths -1 potholder -1 shawl I have one sock that's going to be frogged and half of another dishcloth that's sitting around because I ran out of that colorway of yarn.  I do have a few other WIPs still hanging about from prior to August of last year.  (We're going to keep pretending they don't exist.) I made a simple little picture "movie" of my projects, enjoy: As far as my quickly thrown together list: I completed 3/5 of my projected projects......
