yarn tangles & crocheting in the rain… with dogs

Each Wednesday, I take stock of the projects I’m working on.

What I’m Working On…

I started untangling the nightmare of all nightmare yarn tangles. It’s five balls of yarn that got tumbled together in the dryer, and I’ve been putting it off for about a year. I’m not positive I made progress. And I’m pretty sure this is going to take forever.

So I chose to get distracted by Maine. Between watching sunrises and seaweed with a couple dogs (plus family members of the more human variety), I added a couple rounds to my crochet granny square cardigan. I’m close to finishing one of the four balls of yarn, and the rounds aren’t getting any shorter.

writing, thinking & napping

sweatshirts and writing

What I’m Working On…

: wrapping up the self-made wardrobe! It’s done, it’s done!!

: so, it’s been a week of writing & thinking

: I’m slowly getting my wardrobe unpacked (and I realized yesterday that no sweater can take the place of a sweatshirt).

: yesterday, I posted about the final garment I made for the project.

: Plus I have some other things I want to write about, including some notes I took on Day 366, and some interesting numbers, like how many times I wore each piece, or how the cost of each garment in relation to how many times it got worn, stuff like that.

: and napping. This weekend involved a lot of napping.

it’s almost been too hot to touch wool

Each Wednesday, I take stock of the projects I’m working on.

What I’m Working On…

: my Giant Black & White Granny Square That Will At Some Point Magically Turn Into A Cardigan, is making excellent mindless crafting. A couple stitches here and there whenever it’s cool enough to touch wool, and I’ve made it to the point where the rounds start to feel like they take forever… but I figure if I keep adding stitches here and there, I’ll have a finished sweater.
