As March winds down

No pictures of a completed sweater this week. It still wasn’t fitting, so I am still fiddling with it. And no success with my lightsaber — yet. May April bring an end to these projects, and not just in an “I’ve HAD it” kinda way. I’ll share another kind of eye-candy instead.

Outdoors is really amazing right now. Cool crisp air, water beginning to run in the rivers, snow melted down enough to hike. Happiness.

Previous to restarting my blog, I took a North House Folk School class on making a blanket shirt. I had completed my shirt, and planned on embellishing it once the “Groundhog Day” sweater is done. My sister-in-law Kathy is the queen of the Inkle loom, and made these bands for me. I am stoked, and they are going to look great.

I don’t know if anyone else is that into my weekly travails and successes, but I am digging it. I am finding the decision to blog weekly is helping me stay focused on my projects and helps me to push through the gnarly spots. When I’m pissed at a project the time-out only lasts a few days instead of weeks/months/years. It also keeps me working on just a few things to completion instead of having dozens going and then forgetting about half of them. Yes, that has happened. Even though I have radically de-stashed, I still find a half-finished, “what the hell is this” project in my supply boxes once and a while. Enough gab for tonight. Happy crafting all.
