Goodbye 2018!

This has been one wild and crazy year. There have been some high notes and some tough times. I'm looking forward to having this year behind me, and I'm hoping to have a big positive impact in 2019.

What do I want to knit/crochet? I have about 32 items queued for 2019. I'll be lucky complete half, but it's nice to revisit the list. Here are some of my favorites (and the images are from the designers or publishers):

  • Finish Tabular by Maja Moller (completed front and most of the back already :) this is from last year's winter Pom Pom Quarterly)




  • Read Between the Lines by Tammy Canavan-Soldaat (So excited to use a couple of cakes of Whirl from my Christmas presents) - Also, there is a crochet version as well :)



There will be new patterns that will pop up to distract me from the list, but I'm excited to have a more focused year on my crafts. Also, due to my pattern/yarn addiction, this will be the year in which I don't purchase anything new...or, at least that's a hope.




I've been swatching. What do you think of these little crochet swatches/starts?


We survived and enjoyed the Christmas holiday. Here are my sons and a sweet little nephew of the cousin crew.


Here is our favorite present, little miss Molly who joined us in October. She is our family's gift.


I finished my Marled Mania Cardigan for Gilly, my sister-in-law, just in time. she was kind enough to let me get a picture of it. You can also see her dog and my nine year old in the background.


Lastly, I found a designer that I wanted to post about. I found her patterns this weekend and just in time for her to slow down on designing:  Leethal Knits, I adore her hat patterns, and each one comes with so many ideas and options. When I get one or two done, I'll post them. An indie-dyer was knitting one this designer's hats, Holm, to showcase her yarn, and I was so excited that I had to find the pattern. Lee Meredith, the designer of the pattern, is a Portlander, and she has over 170 patterns available. She now is focusing her time working for KnitPicks, which is awesome as well.

Happy crafting and have a great start to 2019!
