🧶 Well, I’m not finishing this sweater.

Hello! How is it already Friday again!?! This week has been a whirlwind! My third kid graduated high school, my in-laws came to town to celebrate, and we went to a book signing that was a four-hour round trip in a day. It’s been wild! I did find a little time to work on the mesh sweater that is never going to be. I can’t express how terrible this yarn is to work with. If you have an idea for what I can make with splitty bamboo yarn, that won’t cause me to quit crafting altogether, please reply and save me!!!! I really want to make something to wear because it matches my hair so well. My mom let me take some beads home and I’ve been practicing making a knotted necklace with them. Bruno isn’t thrilled because his favorite spot is my lap. He doesn’t always blend well with learning a new skill. I’m curious what kind of lessons you’ve taken away from your crafting. When you reply with splitty bamboo ideas, throw some wisdom in there for me, too! I’ll talk to you next week! 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...
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...
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...
