a Thursday morning, Christmas eve, usually Wednesday crafting update
Each Wednesday, I take stock of the projects I’m working on.
No knitting, or sewing, or spinning, or weaving this week, just packing boxes, shuffling boxes from one place to another, and running moving errands + Christmas errands + travel errands (which is far too many errands). In all that, this week seemed to disappear in a puff of smoke, and Wednesday melded right into Thursday.
But the disappearance of this week, also means that (unlike last year) I didn’t decide to craft Christmas gifts with only one week to go!! (Which may not be a win for any gift recipients, but is definitely a win for my stress levels.)
If you’re getting ready to celebrate Christmas – have an amazing holiday!
And if not – have a great weekend anyway!
moving sucks and I have a lot of yarn
Each Wednesday, I take stock of the projects I’m working on.
You never know how much yarn you have till you pack it all into boxes.
I’m moving on Monday, so it’s been packing and donating, and sorting, and tossing, and returning, and cursing the amount of yarn and fabric I’ve managed to acquire. I’m pretty positive that I own more “potential clothing” in the forms of yarn and fabric, than I own “wearable clothing.”
But between the packing and the cursing, I wove in a kagillion ends, washed, and blocked my piles of handwoven fabric.
Of course, I finished them and they went straight into a box. But at least they’re done.
a week of weaving, crocheting, and knitting, how multi-craftual
Each Wednesday, I take stock of the projects I’m working on.
I’m moving in about 2 weeks, and so this week has been all about finishing up projects.
The last piece of fabric from my autumnal pile of yarn has been woven – now they just need a good soak, a bunch of ends woven in, and some photos.
The giant black and white granny square gotten a seam and turned into a cardigan – now it just needs photos.
And my crazy colorful sweater has sleeves! I’ve been procrastinating on the sleeves of this sweater for months, but it has two sleeves – now I need to pull back a few rows on one of the sleeves (because I knit it too long, sort of on purpose), and weave in another huge pile of ends.
Other than that it’s been mostly packing, sorting, donating, logistics-ings, and convincing myself that I will not be making Christmas gifts this year (I hope).
