Guys

Just did the math (since I reached over a mile of yardage in FOs this year the other day!) and it's looking like weight-wise I've knit up about 695 grams of yarn (or about 1.5 pounds). Not saying I'll get there this year, but think it might be kinda cool to knit up the size of a healthy newborn in yarn (about 7-9 pounds). Future goals...along with hitting a 10k (I think maybe I am shooting for a 5k this year...)

Hi There!!!

Successful move? Check
New car? Check
First week at the new job completed? Check!

Still getting settled a bit, but I have started knitting again so that feels great! Nothing too crazy-just working on some barn raising squares as they don't require too much of my mental capacity :) Also, combined my two stashes and found lots of beauties that I am very excited to play with in the near future-am actually using one of my finds as my latest square :)

So glad to be back! Hope all is well with you and I look forward to sharing WIPs and FOs and adventures from the boonies (where I now live) with all of you!

Lots and lots of love to you!

Delays

Currently packing and getting ready for the big move
And if that all weren't exciting enough, I know have strep too :/

I Know

I was supposed to post an FO post on Friday-but I ended up getting distracted by other goings on and didn't. So I'll just add last week's FO to this week's post since I have a few other little things I've finished up.
In super exciting, non-knitting news, I successfully swam today! First time since the accident that I was actually able to do laps-the most painful area was my biceps because they've been getting off easy. Looking forward to more swimming again in the upcoming days.

Took this photo for Soak's photo challenge #modern: I love indie dyers and they are definitely a modern trend in knitting in my opinion!

Hmmm

So the one issue with posting a late WIP post is that when I post one on time, it doesn't seem like I've done all that much. Also, I've been a bum and haven't been knitting as much this week as I have on some other weeks. So sorry for minimal changes in my knitting (I do have an FO though so yay for Friday!).
Electric Lemon Socks

These socks are growing on me. Still the first one but I'm actually pretty stoked out to finish them and have them to wear. And I think this yarn should make a pretty cool BRQ square :)
The Queen of Hearts Wants Your Bones

Didn't finish in time for Valentine's Day, but I love this so much. I'm pretty obsessed with seeing how the yarn is going to interact in each section. I thoroughly adore the dark grey...when it stripes with the red, black, light grey...it makes me so happy. 

Seedy Coffee Cozy

I have so many loose ends to use up (and I'd love to clear some out before I move) so expect more cozies, coasters and bookmarks in the upcoming weeks. 

The Sky

Is definitely bigger in some parts of the world. A picture from near my soon-to-be new home :)

Knitting Every Which Way

All the yarn I worked with this week

Sorry for the delay in post-we were traveling on Wednesday and I needed yesterday to recover. Alas, since I have no FOs this week because I was too busy jumping around from project to project, I figured I would share my WIPs today. Also, there was pretty sunshine so I quite like some of the pictures.

This yarn should be looking quite familiar to you all by now-this is however, the second sock! I will finish these, I swear!

This too maybe, looks vaguely familiar-except I can't spread it out because it has outgrown its needles. It's my second Age of Brass and Steam Shawl and I mega love it. I think I'm becoming a shawl person. 

This is a new one! It is the Boneyard Shawl out of Cascade Heritage Silk. I had originally thought this yarn was sock yarn and was mega stoked to make some Valentine's Day Socks. However, with the silk I figured a shawl was probably a better bet. I am so happy with this and am loving some of the striping and pooling that is going on. 

                                         

This is also a newbie! It's the Hermione's Everyday socks out of Lion Brand Sock-Ease. These suckers are neon bright and while I'm not crazy about the olive green, I love the yellow and spots of bright lime green that appear. 

                                  

Last but not least, a Swatchless Watch Cap made out of some Loops and Threads Charisma Scraps. Nothing too fancy but just a fun knit to de-scrapify just a hair of yarn. 

A little Change-a-roo

If you scroll and look at the right-hand side of my blog, I have my lovely little yardage counters. Well, I wasn't really digging how the ticker for bought yarn looked so I went ahead and made a second knit meter one...so the bright yellow/pink/turquoise thing that's currently saying I've knit .23 miles...ya, that's currently keeping track of how much yarn I've bought this year. Thus far, that number is still happily below the how much yarn I've knit counter...here's hoping I can keep the trend going! Also, if you have an amazing yardage ticker that I could use for keeping track of how much yarn I've bought, please let me know!

Lazy Bones

Sometimes, we just hang out in bed all day and wear flannel. Hope your Sunday was a nice calm before the storm!
