AYOP Update

AYOP, Crochet, Knitting

My update is for the week ending March 8th. I was out of action for two days, thanks to a migraine. However, I did manage to complete my to do list.

I was excited to get my new project on the needles. The pattern is Easy Folded Poncho by Churchmouse Yarns & Teas. I’m using Rowan Felted Tweed in Black. I did purchase six balls, so I have the option to knit the poncho with the cowl.

I also cast on another pair of Vanilla socks for DH. The yarn I picked was a deep stash dive. It is from Gnomes Acres. I believe it has been in my stash for at least ten years. It is the Independence Day set.

The red is a true red IRL. I am almost ready to start the heel. It makes for great TV knitting. I also crocheted my four granny squares for my blanket. Most of the yarn I’m using is left overs from previous projects.

My plans for this week are to complete one sock, crochet three squares, and continue knitting on my poncho. If possible, I would like to complete my poncho by the end of March. I hope everyone has a wonderful week!

A year of projects update

AYOP, Crochet, Knitting

This is my first update for A Year of Projects. It is for the week ending March 1st. I hope that’s correct. I did finish my third pair of socks for the year. It’s another pair for DH. They are a basic rib sock with the fish-lips kiss heel. I knit them with The Plucky Knitter yarn in the Primo fingering base. I lost the skein band, so I don’t know the colourway.

I also continued working on my granny square blanket. I completed twelve squares. My goal is still to finish it this calendar year.

I cast on the Small Fry Scarf that I mentioned last week. The project was for a Stash Buster Kal/Cal on Ravelry. I know I had no chance to complete this as I only cast-on, but it’s great to get the scarf on the needles.

My goals for this week are to cast on another pair of socks for DH, crochet at least four squares. And I cannot stop thinking about the Easy Folded Poncho. I may have to cast that on, too.
