Weekly Project Update: The shawl grows!
Estimated reading time: 4 minutes How is it almost June? Time is flying by at an amazing clip. I’ve been working on the shawl but am still reveling in finishing the doily. Never again with doilies for me. I cannot make another. Happily, the work on the shawl, which is…

Weekly project update: A shawl worked with single-minded determination
Estimated reading time: 5 minutes Another week that is simultaneously thirty days long and three hours long has whizzed or crawled past. I think my perception of time has been permanently changed. I am forever going to live in a world in which the month and day are best determined…

Weekly project update: A finished doily, a blocked shawl, a different new shawl sneaking in

Weekly project update: From swearing to whining
Estimated reading time: 4 minutes Well, here we are for another project update. I swore less this week. Well, I swore at my projects less this week. I swore at the television plenty. Oh, the subtle and non-subtle horrors of the times we live in. I ended up ruining the…

Weekly project update: Let the swearing begin
Estimated reading time: 3 minutes I would dearly like to crow to you that I reached the end of the center section and that the three pieces of my mother’s wrap are now blocked to size and drying. Alas, I cannot. Oh, I can tell you I nearly reached the…

The trials of a center panel
Estimated reading time: 3 minutes I tried my very best to avoid the doom scrolling this week, and I managed to finish the second side panel for my mother’s wrap. The row counts and the shell counts across the top match in both panels, so I am super happy with…
