Tired

I don't know what is wrong with me. I am so completely exhausted that I can barely function sometimes. This is late again and again, hardly any updates, mostly because I forget what I have done.

WIPs

1. Hermione's everyday sock received no love this week.


2. I have not touched the preemie hats this week.


3. I have been very focused on the Knotty Gloves, but I don't get a lot of time to work on them. I have finished the charted pattern on the gloves and have completed the thumb holes.

Purchases

1. A store nearby closed down this past week. I purchased 5 skeins of Touch Me, 1 skein of a Zauberball, and 2 pairs of circular needles. The Touche Me yarn is one that I have wanted for years, but never wanted to pay full price for. I really can't wait to work on that project.

Still Outofsync

The end of The Knitgirllls Stash Dash is in site! With only a month left, I have to do a little over 700 yards to make it. It would be wonderful if I could finish Oliver’s cardigan and the Knotty gloves in the next month, but I seriously doubt that. Plus I do want to get the preemie hats done. I figured out another way that I can make the yardage that would include the hats and that is to finish all of my current WIPs along with the Camp Loopy project #2. So, that is that path that I am going to take.

WIPS

1. Hermiones everyday sock received a little love this past week while I was in between Camp Loopy projects. I am nearly halfway down the foot of the first sock.
2. I have not touched the Preemie hats this week.
3. Camp Loopy project #2 is on the needles! I am making Knotty Gloves with Mountain Colors Crazyfoot in Evergreen. I am knitting 2 at a time magic loop. Before you think that I am crazy, I am only doing this for the cuff.

UFOs

1. I started working on Oliver’s Cardigan again. It is the Hallows Cardigan and I modified it a little to not work it flat. I still haven’t decided how to finish the top part. I am currently doing the sleeves two at a time magic loop. Should I do raglan or not? Well, I will be putting this aside again.

FOs

1. The Daybreak is done! I love the shawl, but don’t like the yarn I used.

Delayed

I was off track last week so I decided to not post because of the Holiday and having guests. But having taken a break, it is hard to get back into the groove. I am posting a few days late this week, but hope to be back on track this Thursday.

WIPs

1. I did not touched the Hermione Socks, but am still counting it as a WIP because I carry it with me at all times.
2. I am actually nearly done with binding off the Daybreak! I hope to be blocking it today.
3. I tried to start another preemie hat, but my son took the needle off when I only had started the first row. I will have to re-cast it on.

UFOs

1. I added the Mable Socks and the Angry Bird to the UFO list. This is unfortunate because the UFO list has now grown again.

Purchases

1. I actually purchased a learn to spindle kit from Highland Handmades. I love it. The fiber is in the Peacock colorway and is lovely.
2. I purchased the Camp Loopy project 2 yarn. I chose Mountain Colors Crazyfoot in Evergreen. I hope it is not too variegated.
3. I purchased a skein of Three Irish Girls Adorn Sock in the Estuary color. This reminds me of the Peacock color fiber.

Spinning

1. I spun and plied my first ounce of fiber the day that I received the kit. It is very loose and looks like it will fall apart. The 1oz only became 16 ounces of fiber. What do you do with that. Anyway I am spinning the rest of the fiber and am wondering if I should leave it is a single ply.
   

Queued

1. I decided to try something completely new for Camp Loopy project #2. With as much trouble as I had with project #1, I am surprised that I am doing this. But, when I saw the Knotty Gloves, I new that I wanted hand knitted gloves. I just never thought there would come a time that I wanted to try making gloves.

Podcast Notes

1. I won the Beginner's SAL on the Rainlover's Ravelry board for the month of June! I picked out a lovely braid of fiber. I can't wait to spin it up, but I need to finish my first 4oz braid.

Healthy Steps

1. I joined WW and I started walking. The walking has been working this time because of the help of a website called Habit Forge. I really recommend it.
