Am I falling back into my old habits? Late to the party with this post? I hope not. This is just a blip on the radar, right? Sure 😁
So good old Week 30 of 2022 started quietly, getting back into the swing after our little vacation. Then one of the kids came home from his vacation (yay!) and I got all artsy craftsy.
So, what is This Week in Pictures?
It’s a roundup of the little (and big!) moments I have captured all week. Some of these images are posted on Instagram, but many aren’t posted anywhere but here. Some days there may be no photos, and other days there may be multiples.
Photos taken with 📷 (Canon EOS 80D) or 📱 (Samsung Galaxy S9).

What I’m NOT doing is actually making anything. I just can’t seem to put myself in front of the work table or behind the needles and begin. I am paralyzed with unfocused inspiration. I have been here before, where the inputs have taken over, and the outputs need to just wait their turn. Soon, something is going to click. Those inputs are going to meld into something so impossible to ignore, that I will clean off my messy workspace and make something amazing. I hope it happens soon. But I also hope it doesn’t, because I really enjoy this quiet time of letting things percolate.
How about you? Are you making anything right now, or are you percolating, too?
Wednesday
Traveller’s End which was my souvenir knit from our family trip to Ireland in 2019. Irish designer, Irish yarn, purchased at a shop in Dublin. I love the pattern, I love the color of the yarn, I love the buttons I made to go with it, but I hate the way the yarn feels, and I definitely knit too big a size. It makes me sad that I never wear it, so I will definitely try this one again sometime soon.
Sea Stones, I love this design but I chose too heavy a yarn for it. I have a lot more of this wool alpaca blend, so I will pick a better pattern for it.
Lesley is a nice pattern, but I don’t like the pooling of color. I have a lot more of this Good Karma Farm yarn, so I think I will find another use for it (and alternate skeins this time!)
Timber was finished less than a year ago but is way too small for me. I may retry this one, too, because I really wanted it to be a go-to house cardigan.
Think Sea Stones will be the first I take apart 🤔 I have a couple of cardigan patterns in the queue that the yarn might be nice for 🙂
