Cast On

Holiday on the good ship Covid. Rest, and being stingy with it. Painting all the things. Wintering.

A big reveal. Projects, projects, projects. Planning for my trip to The Big Smoke, and the new year. Plus a visit from an old friend.

Continental drift. A rhetorical question. One million ends. Milkshake on the sidewalk. And Sixty Six Coupons.

A baby sweater gone wrong. I mean, they're so small. How do you even have time to screw it up? I don't know, but I managed it this week.

Oh, and I fell in love. And had my heart broken. So. A big week for me. 

This week, I called time out, and used my time out to remove seven projects from time out and complete them all. Worth it, but kinda not worth it, if you know what I mean.

Today I am all about the milestones; those points on the path that tell you you've finally arrived somewhere. Plus, I share some lessons learned on how to unlock the information contained in those fractional numbers in yarn descriptions. There is some math involved, but it's totally worth it. I deconstruct the Graerup Pullover and make plans to find out why the Red Edge has been in time-out for so many months. 

Grateful thanks. Ripping and reknitting and ripping and reknitting. Grime. The black silk.

An unsettling week. Life plans derailed and knitting plans upset. Graerup ripped back. Podcasting from the liminal zone with inspiration from Abu Musa Jabir, Isaac Newton, Kierkegaard, and Chris in the Morning. There is quite a bit about socks.

Smelling wool. Sewing bras. Remembering clothes from the 70’s. Autumn is here. It’s finally here. Come. Join me. I’m the one in the sweater.

Unmade makes are calling; does it really matter if you’re off by a couple of stitches; trousers again, of course; and the start of a new series.

Huge thanks this week to guest reader, professional storyteller, and longtime friend of Cast On, Sage Tyrtle.
