Crochet

This week I mostly worked on the massive crochet blanket. Its taken a few weeks already and I’ve been working on it pretty intensely. I’ve done the main inner square, now its the outer motifs and then the final border. But still will take a while!

Knitting

I’ve already mentally lined up the next project, which will be knitting a cardigan for my partner. If I power through all this, maybe i’ll finish both by…. end of the year? Might be optimistic.

Cooking

Christmas is approaching and I don’t want to jump the gun, but…. I might try a marzipan recipe today. I will definitely be remaking all those Christmas treats like roasted nuts and gingerbread etc.

Garden

My garden is getting redone this week and next week. This is very exciting and will make next year’s gardening much better, aesthetically and for growing, i’ll have integrated beds instead of pots. So more soil volume, better hydration.

It’ll be too late this winter to really grow any winter crops so most of it might have to be bare until spring. I’m also keen to get my compost back. Having thrown my wooden box anyway in the summer because it attracted mice, i’ve now got one that’s closed to pests, and its mostly hidden in the ground.

Musings

I do need some more inspiration though for next steps. I want to do something a bit bigger with all these crafts. Or hone in on something maybe a bit more marketable.

When in doubt for new projects I always refer to my stash supply. I’m already trying to minimise my stash. I still have a lot of raw wool to spin, a bunch of cotton to spin. Some silk like fabric for sewing. Some cushions. Some scrap fabric for stuffing.

Let’s see how and when the inspiration strikes!
