Another Year Long Project

January 1st, 2012 | Posted by admin in Handmade | Photography - (1 Comments)

Alrighty! I mentioned early about my sky scarf year long project. Well the handy thing about that project is you have to keep a little calendar to color in how the sky looked that day so that you don’t forget when you go to do the knitting. I’m going to try my best to knit my two rows every day but I put the calendar in my purse so I’ll always have it with me.

Now, this is going to perform double duty because the subsequent year long project I’ll be doing is taking a picture every day and writing a positive caption about it. With my sky scarf calendar I’ll be able to reflect on the day and write it down in the square over the colors. I’ll post on Sunday’s the daily pictures in a weekly summary. I’m looking forward to it!

in 2012 I’ll be taking on Leafcutter Designs’ Conceptual Knitting Project Sky Scarf. It’s where you knit two rows of a scarf every day based on the color of the sky for that day.

I’ll be adding a twist to my scarf, using worsted weight (which is going to make it a huge long scarf) and using Diane’s Diagonal scarf (I’m going to add a dozen stitches or so to the width).

I’ll post some in progress pictures as soon as it’s in progress… for today, I’m off to Michael’s to pick up the right color blues. I had the white and grey in my stash :)

I’ve been using this program/blog A LOT for making socks. My Grandparents each got hand knit socks from me and I used this calculator to fit them exactly to their feet. Thank you very much to whoever is behind this marvelous online tool!

Craft SUPPLY sale!

I’m so excited for this!

There was one a week ago and I was in heaven! So much stuff! So many awesome craft supplies, I almost fainted… but then, I found this….

 

It’s a wolf pelt collar! The woman running the sale used to own a costume shop that specialized in wardrobe for movies. They had bins off fur collars and I found this beauty there. I haven’t worn it out yet but am so excite to give it a spin! If you’re unfamiliar with my obsession with taxidermy, find out more in this post.
