🧶 My season of starting is going strong!

Published 3 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 has your week been? My week has been... how should I say it... eventful. 😬 To start with, Bruno had a botfly under his skin! It was disgusting and so sad. And it took some time for the vet to figure out what it was, so lots of cone time. I don't know if you can tell from photos, but Bruno has the neck of a giraffe. We tried a cone that was tiny enough to fit around his neck and he could reach right around it. Then we tried combining a stuffed donut with the little cone. No luck....

Hey there! How are you!?! I’m feeling invigorated this week! I took last week off for a staycation. After a long, lazy summer, I had some housekeeping to do. Fall is my favorite season, and September through December are my busiest/funnest months of the year. I like to head into this time prepared, so I can really enjoy it. Chris and I spent the week cleaning, hanging art, setting up the bones of my art studio, and getting out Halloween decorations. And we topped it off with a concert! We saw...

Hello! Friday again! How was your week? I have one more ear to put on my Cat Hat! Wait ‘til you see what I did. 🫣 When I took it out to finally finish, there were 3 sizes of needles in the project bag. And I, of all people, didn’t have a project sheet in there with the details! But I did remember taking a picture to show you my progress previously. So I got out the picture and all the needles in my project bag, and compared them! It actually worked!!! So then I started picking up the stitches...
