A diary of the second half of life. A life that includes swimming, knitting, love, hope, faith, grace, humour and depression. Not necessarily in that order.

Week One done - Year of Projects 2018/2019
I have not been doing as much knitting (gasp!!!) as usual as I am prepping for three courses I am teaching next week.
However, I did finish knitting the baby pants, but they are not yet sewn up - and I still have the i-cord to finish.
I decided to focus on only one project this week - My Miette. I am loving this yarn (Madeline Tosh Vintage) and the stitch definition it is giving me. It is also pretty easy to knit and watch Netflix because lately I am alternating between Peaky Blinders and The Staircase - both of which need me to pay attention to what is happening on screen so forget lace shawls at the moment!
I bought some new yarn on Friday to make presents for a couple of special people in my life so I can't post anymore on this because, well, secret.

It looks like quite a lot to me - your mortgage is coming along nicely and the baby pants are splendid!
ReplyDeletethank god, no mortgage anymore, but the miette is coming along. lol.
DeleteSometimes I think Netflix was specially invented for us crafters. I'm watching Friends, still on season 3, though.
ReplyDeleteI think knitting was invented so I don't feel guilty watching netflix. lol
DeleteThose baby pants are adorable! The Miette is really progressing and what a cooling color. I have a whole board on Pinterest of 'secret gift giving'.
ReplyDeletea secret pinterest board? How intriguing.
DeleteThose baby pants sure look sweet. And the Miette is looking good. I'm also very curious about what you're teaching! I looked back through many of your posts under the label of "teaching" and I find you are quite a treasure trove of learning experiences. :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I am going to need to check out The Staircase...I've never heard of it and am looking for a new Netflix show.

Those baby pants are so sweet and your Miette is coming along so well.
ReplyDeleteReally love the color of your Miette. YOu have done quite a bit on it.
ReplyDeleteCute diaper pants.
The color of your Miette is wonderful, reminds me of cool spring mornings!
ReplyDeleteI've just finished a series on Netflix so thanks for the recommendation of The Staircase. Crafts and Netflix so you don't feel quite so bad about bingeing a whole season..lol
Aren’t those baby pants cute!?!!
ReplyDeleteI’ve watched Peaky Blinders - Cillian Murphy is quite great to watch in that role! We just finished Animal Kingdom and Black Mirror so now we’re looking for our next series!
Looking good so far!!! I haven't watched either of those yet, but am marathoning some Netflix shows..
ReplyDeleteI like that color you're using for your Miette.
ReplyDeleteOOh, something for my "watch" list.
ReplyDeleteThe Staircase... Haven't seen any of that.
I know what you mean about concentrating. I have The Bridge taped but it's subtitled so I can only watch it when I have nothing else to concentrate on lol
