🧶 My season of starting is going strong!

Published 5 months ago • 1 min read

Hello! How are you? Did you start anything new over the long weekend? I’ve done nothing but start knitting projects lately! 🤪🤣

​
Every idea that crosses my mind gets cast on these days. I’m calling it my season of starting.

​
I’m mostly just calling it that in my head when I’m contemplating the situation. I really hope it’s followed by a season of knitting and then a season of finishing. 🫠

​
There’s no progress because all my knitting time is being eaten up by the starting! I just counted and I have 8 knitting projects and one crochet project going right now. 🫣 At least 5 of them are things that I intend to finish.

​
Luckily, there’s a couple days of car knitting coming up for me. Let’s see how I do when my yarn stash isn’t calling to me from the corner of the room.

​
I did get some bamboo yarn to knit myself a new wrap, like I was telling you about last week. The woman at Michaels asked me “What are you making to match your hair?” It was a highlight of my week.

​
I can’t think of anything else interesting, so I guess I’ll go work on it now! Reply and let me know: are you a serial starter or do you finish one project before you start the next?
​
Thanks for being here!

Hello! How have you been!?! I’ve been working on some more knit wall art. I’m so excited to show you some pics today! This is Aries, it’s part of my zodiac series. I’m loving how they’re coming out! Here’s Pisces: You can see how I just let all the strands of working yarn hang. The longest length I use is about 6-8 feet. Sometimes they get pretty tangled if there’s a bunch going at the same time, but it’s rarely bad enough for me to have to pause and untangle. I like it so much more than...

Hat knitting project on the needles

Happy Friday! How was your week? I’ve been getting another travel-friendly knitting project ready. I won’t be bringing my Popcorn Ceiling sweater because it’s too big to pack. I’m on the first sleeve, though. Yay, progress! 🎉 I’m still working on the tank top, but you know it’s impossible to bring only one project on a week long trip! So I started a fingering weight ribbed hat. I’ll write it up and send it to you after I decide how I want to do the decreases. I’m picturing a fingering weight...

knitting project with a frayed loop of yarn

Hello and happy Friday! I'm back from my trip and I brought back a knitting mistake to share! 🤣🤪 Only, I was too mad to remember to take a picture when it happened, so I recreated it as best I could for you. You know how every knit in the round pattern warns you to be careful not to twist the stitches? We've all done it at least once and ended up with a mobius strip. But have you ever managed to do it while knitting flat!?! Did you even know it was possible!?! I'm working on a tank top that...
