queue check: september 2023
Several years back I would occasionally post a “queue check,” an overview of active project WIPs and plans (fully based on the ones Karen Templer of Fringe Association used to post). Now that I’m carving out a little more time for crafting, I’ve started going back to projects that have been on hold for 2-3… Continue reading

in the pipeline, august 2017
I’ve just returned to Tromsø after about three weeks away, visiting friends and family in North America, but things aren’t going to slow down any time soon; in the next three weeks we are packing up our place as we prepare to leave Norway by the end of the month (my degree is well and… Continue reading

I’ll start with the good news: I finished the Hugin and Munin mittens! As I mentioned in the earlier post, these only needed thumbs, so once I had time to sit… Continue reading

in the queue: simple knits
It’s been wool weather off and on since I arrived in Tromsø, so there’s been a lot of wearing of hats, scarves/cowls, and fingerless mitts. I have a lot of beautifully patterned accessories – textured knits or pieces featuring colorwork – and I love those, but I’ve realized I’m craving simple accessories at the moment. Pieces that are… Continue reading
