Gnome away from home

By -

I have been wanting to find some object, a stuffed animal or something of that nature that I can bring with me to different places that I travel to, so I can take pictures of it and send them to Emma. I thought it would be a fun idea to keep Emma and I connected while I am gone for a year. I am currently in Massachusetts at my last phase of Basic Non-Commissioned Officer Course. In the hours of spare time I have I took a trip to Barnes and Nobles, where I found Cedric the traveling Gnome. He even came complete with his own passport.

This week I cast on for a Craft-a-long being hosted in Colorsong's Ravelry group.  I am using Fleece Artist Trail Socks in the color Passion flower to knit an Ishbel Shawl by Ysolda Teague.  I knit this pattern 3 or 4 years ago and I love it and have been wanting to knit it again. I bought this yarn for a shawl (I didn't have a particular one in mind) from Colorsong yarns, so I thought it would be perfect to use for this along and pattern.     I finished working on the Magine Shawl by Ambah O'Brien and it is now blocking. I couldn't wait until it was dry to get a picture.  I really love how colorful this shawl is, thanks to the awesome Knit Circus gradient yarns.     Knitting all these shawls is really inspiring me to come up with some shawl designs. So I am working on a swatch sample for a design I have in my head for a three colored shawl. I knit the sample using some Sunrise Fiber Co mini skeins that I bought 4 years...

Day #8 Fiberuary Challenge 2021

This year I will....make more time for knitting and crafting. My soul NEEDS to be creative on a regular basis. I can't really explain it but when I can't do this I feel out of balance and like something is missing from me. That's why this year our family has made every Sunday "craft day". This year I will finish WIPs that have been sitting for years. Like my first finished knitting project of 2021 that I am wearing in this picture. It is the  #outlinewrap  pattern designed by  #beatajezek  that I started in November 2015. It's been sitting for years 95% done. So I decide to make a plan to work on a WIP on my two days a week at the hospital during my lunch break. And I finished this in a week and a half! Yarns:  @maplewoodkindercoop   #bohoknitterchicspins  indie dyed &  @fleeceartist_handmaiden  purchased from  @colorsong_by_twitchyhands This year I am going to step fully into my power and continue to elevate my vibrations and those ...
