I had a look in Ravelry and I have…
4 live WIPs
17 hibernating WIPs of which at least 13 will come to fruition eventually
3 frogged projects that will certainly be restarted at some point
So that’s 20 official WIPs that require dealing with. There are other projects scattered around the house that haven’t been entered into Ravelry [...]
Lst August I bought a skein of Gloaming from Natalie at The Yarn Yard. It’s a Merino/Silk blend offering 800m to a 100g skein.
The yarn has languished for a while.
Cue the Echo Flower Shawl.
The Skew sock was completed last night and I tried it on. This thing is just not going to work, so it is off to the frog pond for it.

Perhaps it is the distant scent of Spring in the air bringing on a light fever, but I do seem to be losing my marbles. I’ve got the first of a pair of Skew on my needles now. Will this be the first toe-up sock to fit me? We shall see, but I do love [...]
Remember my invitation to tell me about your donations to MSF?
The draw has been held and was properly conducted.
The first name out was that of pixeldiva, who has 7 days in which to contact me to confirm with her mail address. I am sure that I shall be hearing from her very soon but [...]
