Knitting Yarn

Wash Cloth (1)

stargrace No Comments

I have a few skeins of 100% cotton that I bought specifically to make wash cloths out of, so I decided on a pattern (it’s a 2 row repeat, very easy to memorize) and have gotten started. Hopefully they don’t take me that long to complete. I’m aiming for 2 wash cloths per skein, but we’ll see how that goes. I absolutely love hand knit wash cloths, they are good for a number of things and are pretty great for in the shower due to the texture of the cotton. Every few years I like to add to the collection as they do get worn with time, the family uses them that much.

Cross Stitch

Cross Stitch (6)

It has been some time since I did any cross stitching, but I have recently gotten back into it. I picked up a lovely grime guard, a needle minder, and some new patterns. I’m working on this halloween themed one to begin with, and then we’ll see what’s next. Probably some super hero ones I picked up. It’s a lovely way to pass the time (when my hands and eyes allow me) and I also picked up some frames so I can hang / gift some creations.

Yarn Storage

One of my favourite things to do in life is to clean and organize. I’m not kidding, nothing gives me as much satisfaction as cleaning up a room in the house. I just don’t get a lot of time to do that without someone needing my attention. I picked up these cube containers from Amazon (please, I don’t need a lecture, Amazon is one of the few places that ships to my location and there is nothing local) and me and my husband spent an afternoon building them and then I organized some yarn. I figure I’ll be more likely to use up pieces in my stash if I can actually SEE them there, and it should be much easier to keep them in mind for projects. Plus it was just nice to get them out of the bin that sits under the table.

Knitting Goals – May 2021

stargrace No Comments

Completed in April:

  • I finished my sockhead cowl! It’s lovely, even if it wasn’t completed in time for winter this year, I will make good use of it next year.
  • I did two squares on my sock scrap blanket – which is more than I did last month, so I’m counting that as a win
  • Still not done with those TAAT socks, they’re taking me forever. I also didn’t work on my Silver Bells Sweater.

Current WIPS:

  • Scrap blanket
  • For the horde mitten liners
  • TAAT January Sock club socks

May Goals:

  • Complete TAAT socks
  • Two squares on the scrap blanket
  • Pick a new project to work on
  • Some progress on the Silver Bell Sweater IF my chaigoo needles arrive

I ordered a complete set of chaigoo interchangeable needles but then I got a notice that the order was cancelled – it was after the shipping notice went out, so I’m confused on what is going on. I figure I’ll give it a bit of time, then if they don’t arrive, I’ll re-purchase them. I’ve been having a blast keeping up with my daily creative events, every night is a new hobby, and things are progressing along at a wonderful pace. I need a new knitting project, I’m not sure what I’ll work on next. We’ll just have to see!
