    Making It Monday

    WIDN: Stitching up a storm

    August 17, 2016

    Aimée

    I've extended this week's Monday into Tuesday because Monday didn't allow me nearly enough time to check everything off my to do list.  It makes me wish I had Evie's powers from Out of this World where I could just stop time for a bit and then start it up again.  

     

    Yes...out of all the super powers I could ask for, this would be it.

     

     

    Although...I'd totally be down for Samantha Stevens' nose wiggle powers and would dig having Doc Brown's DeLorean.  But having a little extra time may help me bust through my stash!

     

    I have been all sorts of productive this week.  Cowls have been my BFF.  So very instantly gratifying!  I finished two cowls using Zen Yarn Garden Serenity Chunky (one knit, one crochet), I began designing a cowl with my Mia Bella Snug, and I'm about halfway through a test crochet that I hope to tell you about once the designer publishes the pattern.  Whew!  I'll catch you all up on the specifics of all the finished projects later this week.

     

    Also, I now know how to make thrummed mittens!  I have my first one started and need to try and incorporate that into my week as well.  I may save them for retreat, though.  We'll see.  

     

    It would be super if I could be as productive this week but, alas, it's back to school week and I already know that I will have very little control over this freight train.  I will need my yarn and stitching to decompress.  I'm glad that I decided to go the bulky yarn route this month as it's helping me feel like I'm accomplishing quite a bit.

     

    Even with all this fun, new yarn I've acquired, I have not forgotten the golden oldies in my stash.  Today, I pulled out my five skeins of Classic Elite Yarns Duchess to make the shawl collar with a basket pattern by Sara Karls.  So far, it's going well but I foresee this yarn needing a good soak to soften some.  Duchess, a discontinued yarn, is 40% Merino, 28% Rayon, 15% Nylon, 10% Cashmere goat, and 7% Angora.  It's super warm and I think perfect for this pattern.

     

    Oh holy cow...it's already the evening!  Where's my hook?
