Knit Cute

It’s taken a couple of months, but I think we’ve finally settled into the sheltering in place/school from home schedule. And I worked on not one, but two sweaters as the result! So I’m rather pleased with the progress I made this month.

My only knitting goal for 2020 is to knit something every month—with just over a half mile’s worth of yarn knit in April, I can safely say I nailed it! Here’s to a not-too-hot May full of more wooly goodness! I need to finish my second Ursa sweater, and I have plans for a couple pairs of ButtShorts and a hat or two this month.

What about you? Did you do much making while sheltering in place this April?

It turns out March was not any better than February. My children were home the entire month and the needles I was knitting on made my sweater an unpleasant chore, so I barely managed to finish that before the end of the day on the 31st. But. It’s done, and I’m hoping that April will bring better projects and hopefully an end to quarantine soon. It will not happen before mid-month, but I might get my quiet sanctuary back before it is done. We’ll see though. People have not been acting as they ought to and now there’s been a flare up here. Stay safe and stay away from others if you’re able to. This virus is no joke.

My only knitting goal for 2020 is to knit something every month, so eh…I managed it. Here’s to an April full of crafts and renewed enthusiasm while spring gets going!

What about you? Did you do much making while quarantining in March?

February got off to a great start by finishing my Zel Pullover and starting on another super bulky knit that should have been quick, but my knitting enthusiasm sort of petered out after the 20th. We’re currently in South Korea and with the COVID19 precautions, let’s just say that I’m seeing a lot more of my kids than I would prefer right now and it’s making me retreat even harder into reading than I was before. I’m still knitting, just not daily at the moment.

But still.

My only knitting goal for 2020 is to knit something every month, so I think we can safely call that one accomplished. Here’s to a March full of wooly crafts while spring rears its head!

What about you? Did you do much making in this all over the place month of February?

It seems that after 9 pretty rough months, my knitting mojo is finally back at nearly full strength. A lot of crafting happened Chez Knit*Cute this last month. I finished a hat for my daughter, a super bulky sweater for myself, and just over half a DK weight sweater for me too. I’ve fallen hard on the ESK Yarnathon bandwagon this year—I’m a Fiber Fawn, what are you?—and am determined to not allow the yarn influx to bloat my already sizable stash. I have only so much room in that little craft cabinet, y’all.

This year my only knitting goal is to knit something every month, so I think we can safely call that one accomplished. Here’s to a February full of wooly crafts while the chilly weather lasts!

What about you? Did you do much making in January?
