Cast On

It’s autumn. Time for finishing projects, knitting socks and celebrating the impending winter by taking the sweaters out of storage. This one is all knitting, and I make no apologies.

In this episode: Off the needles and on; Tour de Fleece wrap up; notes from the production line; a new bag; a new spindle; good materials; and Bennet’s Boiled Potatoes.

Knitting the slowest sock in the history of sock knitting. Tour de Fleece. The merits of taking small steps vaguely in the direction a goal. I’m thinking about style again, and looking for systems.

House projects have broken me; the summer of socks continues; the red that bled; Tour de Fleece; and a return to Clifford Byway. 

The weather. Men in shorts. The run down. Ta Da moments. And the moments just before a plan comes together.

In this episode: The party dress; picking up threads; a project round up; and the big idea, spoken aloud.

IN THIS EPISODE: Stash enhancement; hat boxes of joy; the rug of sorrow; knitting memory lane, letting it go.

Repeat after me: It is okay to rest.

Undone by Cosmo/Cosmo undone; colour blocking that didn’t; a summer romance; a bounty of beautiful sock yarn; packing projects for a journey with no end date; and the view from Stone Cottage.

I have more projects on the needles at one time than EVER BEFORE. Plus, we're buying a cottage!

The Great Airing of the Stash 2023; hibernating projects emerge, blinking, into the light, revisiting Paint Pan, Against all Odds, and the Red Edge, plus a veritable torrent of knitting projects.
