    On the Needles: WIP Wednesday, August 2025

    August 20, 2025 - By 

    Here we are on the downhill side of August already! This week, I wanted to share an update on my current makes, and I also needed a bit of a kick in the pants to finish some projects instead of starting any more new things. So, welcome to Work In Progress (WIP) Wednesday! Let’s dive in… My first WIP is one I have shared before, but this month I am finally getting very close to finishing it! As you can see from the photo, I am in the middle of knitting the front panel of the “Smiling Honey Top” by…

    February 19, 2025 - By 

    I’m back this week with a (somewhat lengthy) knitting and crochet update! I got a lot more done over the course of the past month than I expected and had a lot of inspiration from fellow fiber artists lately, so I have quite a few projects to report about. First, we will start off with the Finish It (or Frog It) February Challenge. Then I will share what I have already finished since last month, and I will end what a report of what I am working on now. To Finish or Frog? In Finish It (or Frog It) February,…
