Since Last Post

Nothing dramatic going on – just graduate school is taking up a lot of time I would otherwise use here. I am getting a little bit of crafting in though!

Progress on the Half Moon Tee! I’m almost to the hem and trying to decide if I want to do a little colorwork band or not. Then just short sleeves and done!

Reasonable progress on the Here Lyes the Body Halloween counted cross stich stitch along! Every day the designer releases a new motif that was in use in early American gravestones. She also does a little writeup of the stone she adapted the motif from. I’m enjoying it! Also, remembering that embroider/counted cross can be fun, though I don’t see it taking over my crafting time.

All the stitched elements are done for my Witchy Book Nook! I am really enjoying making this. There are also little furniture and decor elements to put together in the kit, which is a lot of fun. My DH is even helping with this one a little. He is doing some of the furniture assembly, which is nice because that’s not my forte.

I am catching up on everyone’s posts from the last month or so, and hoping to be back here regularly soon!

Almost to Spring!

Image
It’s that time of year again where we are aaaaalmost, but not entirely, to spring. I’m itching to get some veggies and flowers planted, but we aren’t quite there yet. It’s still hovering around freezing a few nights a week, so we wait. In the meantime though: We did get a few hanging baskets for the front porch just to get a little color going! We have to bring them in some nights, but it’s worth it. How about where you are? Has spring sprung, or are you waiting too?

Melville is Done!

Image
At very long last, my Melville pullover is finished! Forgive the terrible indoor nighttime photos. I have been challenged to do some theme pics wearing it in some sort of nautical situation, and will share those when it happens. Hopefully within the next couple weeks. The pattern is Melville ( Ravelry link ), designed by Sarabeth Hall. The yarn is Knit Picks Gloss Fingering in Captain (darker color) and Clarity. Despite taking a longish time to knit, it was enjoyable. It fits really nicely, and is soft and cozy to wear. On to the next!

Disco Babushka Done!

Image
My disco babushka is done! Overall, a quick and easy knit, and lots of fun. You could easily do this without the sequins if you are bling-averse, but they are easy and fun to add. The pattern is Dotty Disco by Olga Buraya-Kefelian, and the yarn is Ewetopia’s Silk and Mohair in the color Vintage Jar. I just got the sequins from Amazon, and they worked fine. I have also been working a lot on a Christmas present project that I cannot share quite yet. However, we are going on a few holiday adventures in the near future, so should have something to share. I am working on catching up with blog reading – so sorry to have fallen behind on reading everyone’s posts! How are you all doing? What are you working on right now?
