Welcome 2026

 

I’m starting the year with two projects – the ongoing scrappy crochet blanket and a pair of colorwork mittens. It feels good to start the year with almost a clean slate. Neither of these projects are easy pick up projects so new projects were started on the first.

My plans for this year are to work from stash and to use up more of my scraps. I started the crochet scappy project to use yarn whose colours did not fit into the scheme of my mitred square blanket. Having completed that project I am going back to my old leftovers and adding them to the crochet blanket and I am starting a motif blanket to use up even more of the scraps that don’t get swallowed up in that blanket.

Working from stash, I am concentrating on yarn I have purchased and trying to use from oldest to newest and I hope to actually work some garments. I am going to save the fingering weight yarn for future travels as that will give me a few options of things to make with a range of difficulties.

I am really happy with keeping my number of WIPs low although I am having to get used to finishing things more often instead of a number all at once. So sorry, not very exciting but I am happy and relaxed with these small decisions.
