…I almost didn’t bother to count that yardage for this month.

I spent most of my month spinning some lovely sock yarn for my spouse, knit a little and had to rip it, then suddenly felt the need to pick up a hibernating cross stitch project. What can you do? I feel the need to follow where my crafting whims take me right now.

This year, I’ve decided to stick with the same knitting goal I’ve had since this decade started: knit something every month. That’s it. Technically a yes for April.

What about you, kitten? How has your April? Rainy and chilly? Hot? Did you work on anything you’re excited about? Maybe you read something you’d like to recommend.

Take care of yourselves and each other.

Time to start the 2022 stash tracking, Kittens. Hard to believe we’re already 1/3 of the way through this year.

While still a very large amount of stash in, about 20% of my yarn stash in was handspun, so I can not feel too sour about that. I would have definitely been in the gains though, had I not done a huge stash cull to start the year off. It’s always so quick to accumulate and so slow to use up. I really enjoyed all of the spinning I did this trimester, even if it did eat into my knitting time and lowered my yarn usage.

How about you? Are you tracking in 2022, or does the process stress you out? Did some beautiful things enter your stash? Did you use up something precious that makes you happy to wear and look at? Or maybe you’ve spent your time doing something else the past few months?

Take care and stay healthy, kittens.

Cozy Craft Club: Episode 14

I completely spaced about posting this one up, kittens! My apologies to those of you who view this only on the blog. It’s been quite a busy March here, and my poor brain is chucking out information left and right. Thank you for joining us today while we talk about our knitting and spinning projects and some books we’ve been reading.

…and there went March.

I worked on only a few projects this month and only during the first half, but I did manage to get quite a lot of knitting done during that time. I’ve been focusing on a spin since then—my final “deadline” project before we move. Anything after this will be much more leisurely and get finished when it’s finished. I did keep moving ahead, and I’m very happy with what I got done. April is going to be hectic. I’m hoping for some knitting, but finishing this spin will take priority.

This year, I’ve decided to stick with the same knitting goal I’ve had since this decade started: knit something every month. That’s it. Objective accomplished for March.

What about you, kitten? How has your March? Was it in like a lion? A lamb? Did you work on anything you’re excited about? Maybe you read something you’d like to recommend.

Take care of yourselves and each other.

Wow. February is already out the door, and here comes March.

I didn’t work on as many projects this month. I’ve had lower crafting mojo and had to spread my attention to some other areas. But I did keep moving ahead, and I’m happy with what I did get done. We’ll see what March brings, as we’re getting ready to move, which means more time doing tasks related to that.

This year, I’ve decided to stick with the same knitting goal I’ve had since this decade started: knit something every month. That’s it. Objective accomplished for February.

What about you, kitten? How has your February? Did you work on anything you’re excited about?

Take care of yourselves and each other.

It’s that time again, Kittens! The start of another yearly stash track.

In 2022, I’ve decided to stick with the same knitting goal I had in 2021: knit something every month. That’s it. And I definitely accomplished it.

What about you, kitten? How has your 2022 started? Do you have any crafting plans, or are you just existing and going with your whims?

Happy 2022, Kittens!

Take care of yourselves and each other.

XO,
Amanda
