This week I'll tell you about my trip to Iceland.  It's the perfect vacation for a knitter.  The weather calls for wooly handknits and there's yarn everywhere!

I didn't finish anything over the past couple of weeks but I worked on the Dwelling Cushion and a pair of vanilla socks.  I also cast on a mystery knitalong project, the Miss May Shawl.

This week I finished my Curling Mist Socks and I cast on the Dwelling Cushion.  I also have some travel knitting ideas.  On top of that, a goat has invaded my world.

This week, I've finished the Goldfish Memory shawl.  Yay!! I've picked the Curling Mist Socks back up and I'm looking for mini skein patterns because I have some on their way to me from Australia.

I also have some quilting plans. Unless I get stuck in the chicken coop...again.

This week I finished two projects that I hadn't even started last episode.  One is the Sunflowers Will Rise hat. The other is a test knit from Sally Jane Designs, the Bluebird of Happiness Mitts.

I spent last weekend in Savannah, GA, and went to The Frayed Knot yarn shop. I have lots of new yarn to talk about, obviously.

This week I still haven't finished anything new but I'm working on several big projects.  I made progress on the Goldfish Memory wrap, the Copper Canyon Cardi and Aileas, the cardigan from Isabell Kraemer.

There's lots going on at the farm. Chickens have moved around and a goat is moving away.  I also planted some peppers and tomatoes.

This week, I haven't finished anything. I have however, been working on the Goldfish Memory wrap.  I had a problem with my stitch count but I fudged my way through.  I also figured out a problem with the Copper Canyon Cardi. There was a misprint in the pattern.

This week, I finished my advent mini/scrap yarn shawl. I used 12 minis plus a main color. I did an icord bind off. I also cast on the Copper Canyon Cardi but had some issues with the instructions.

The farm animals are all doing fine. We have gotten several double yoke eggs lately so there might be a particular hen that tends to lay them. A local mail thief has caused us to spend money on a lockable mailbox--grrr!

I found some washa...

This week, I finished the Midas Hat.  I'm also still working on my advent mini shawl but it's getting close to the finish line.  I swatched for the Copper Canyon Cardi by Rachel Raimo.

I found a new sock knitting book, The Sock Knitting Bible by Lynne Rowe. Check out my review of it!

Have you tried ordering glasses online?  I have placed an order with Pair.  I'll let you know what I think once my glasses arrive.

Stay until the end ...

This week I finished another hat and cast on a new one.  We went camping and I got to do some yarn shopping.  We also had someone steal our mail.

I have two sweater projects in mind, one of them from a new pattern book, Handmade from Traveling Yarn.

Also, there are bloopers at the end.

This episode I have lots of finished projects-knitting, embroidery and sewing.  I found several interesting MKALs (mystery knit-alongs) and some books that you might like.

I finished the Rose Cottage Cowl, Lambing Mitts (2 pair), Kick in the Pants Socks and even a pair of running pants (sewing).

This week I was busy with Thanksgiving and didn't get much knitting time but I'm back with Vlogmas plans. I have six (yikes!) advent calendars and four yarn-y projects for December.

This week, I have a finished-ish hat.  I'm also looking at more advent patterns as well as hat patterns.  There's also a book I want.

This week I finished two projects and canned a lot of applesauce.  I'm starting to make knitting (and maybe crochet) plans for my advent minis.

The hens are laying lots of eggs and I think the new cat is a Dr. Who fan.

This week I have six finished objects! And I've pulled two projects from the Basket of Shame. I'm making plans for Vlogmas 2021 and I'm looking forward to all of them! We also have a new addition to the farm. 

I also spend a little time talking about the loss of a sweet knitting friend.

This episode, I have finished a pair of vanilla socks and I'm almost finished with the Curling Mist Shawl.  I have plans to cast on the second shawl from the current season of Helen Stewart's Shawl Society, the Silver River Shawl.

The container garden is doing well.  I'm harvesting 100+ peppers a week!  Also, pepper jam is not fool proof.

This week, it took two tries to record the episode.  I finished a couple of projects and I can share the test knit I was working on last month.  We spent some time at the lake and I went kayaking for the first time.  We also had a rough week on the farm.

Also, I'm pretty sure I said "microphone" when I meant "microscope".

This week, I have lots of finished projects because it's been so long- so very, very long- since I released an episode. I finished my Tea with Jam and Bread pullover, several pairs of socks, three baby hats and several shawls, one of them made from the "world's ugliest color". 

There's also farm news.  We have two Pyr puppies, Buster and Keaton.  They are 7 months old and almost 70 pounds each.

This week, I attempted Tunisian Crochet (Spoiler alert: I liked it).  I also tried a couple of new recipes and my husband and I did some sleuthing and family research.

My Night Shift Shawl is finished and I started a new shawl from an older pattern, the Boneyard Shawl by Stephen West.

This week, I finished the Slider Gloves and enjoyed knitting them, like a lot.  Who knew knitting individual fingers could be so addictive?

I also cast on the Luminary Socks by Curious Handmade. I didn't get much done but I'm looking forward to working on them.

There are new bags in the Bede Sisters Etsy shop and I'm a sponsor of the Splash Pad Party KAL with Down Cellar Studio.
