Thursday Hexipuff Update

It is my goal to update the blog with a running total of my Hexipuff count each Thursday. I'm aiming to complete my Beekeeper's Quilt (a total of approximately 384 puffs) by the end of 2012.

My hexipuffs had to compete with a few other projects this week, including the stitch markers I was working on for my etsy shop. I still managed to complete one puff per day, and I hope to play catch up some more this weekend.

Today's Tally:

As of this posting, I have completed a total of 119 Hexipuffs! Only 265 more to go!

Puffy's getting comfortable, but that basket is getting pretty full...

Owls for Sale!

Warning: Shameless Self-Promotion forthcoming!

I have been working hard lately to get my etsy shop up and running, and this morning I was finally able to sit down and update my shop with tons of new goodies! I've been making stitch markers like a madwoman, and I'm hoping to earn enough to reinvest in some new charms and beads so I can make even more!

Here's a sneak peak at a few of the goodies that I put up this morning:

OWLS!!

 

Ooooooh shiny!

Wee little ladybugs!

I'm super-excited (if you couldn't tell)! If you're excited too, head on over to my shop and check out all the goodies. If you use the coupon code "BLOG10" at checkout, you'll save 10% on your purchase!

Thursday Hexipuff Update

It is my goal to update the blog with a running total of my Hexipuff count each Thursday. I'm aiming to complete my Beekeeper's Quilt (a total of approximately 384 puffs) by the end of 2012.

I worked hard to get caught up this week. According to my calculations, I should be up to 117 puffs today, so I still have some work to do, but I'm gaining ground.

Today's Tally:

As of this posting, I have completed a total of 112 Hexipuffs! Only 272 more to go!

Puffy still thinks the hexipuffs are his. Should I tell him?

Thursday Hexipuff Update

It is my goal to update the blog with a running total of my Hexipuff count each Thursday. I'm aiming to complete my Beekeeper's Quilt (a total of approximately 384 puffs) by the end of 2012.

It has been another crazy week. Lots of unpacking, some holiday traveling, and fortunately, lots of knitting time. I am still behind on my 'puff count, but I am making progress and I hope to be back on track by the end of this weekend. The big news, though, is that I hit a milestone this week: I passed the 100 'puff mark!

Today's Tally:

As of this posting, I have completed a total of 103 Hexipuffs! Only 281 more to go!

It looks as though Puffy the penguin is trying to make a rookery out of my hexipuffs!

FO Friday

I finally have an FO to share! I have been working on my Crevasse Socks for almost a year now, on and off (mostly off). After a long period of hibernation, these socks went with me to a conference that I attended a few weeks ago, and I managed to knit almost the entire second sock during those three days. If only every day could provide so much excellent knitting time! As a bonus, I also met several other knitters and crocheters who approached me when they saw me knitting.

I am happy with the finished product, even though it's not the best combination of pattern and yarn. The yarn is very special to me, as it was a wedding gift from my husband. Tiffany blue and chocolate brown were our wedding colors, and this colorway of J. Knits Superwash Me Sock is called "Connecticut," where we lived when we got married.

Thursday Hexipuff Update!

I'm baaa-aack!

It has been a wild and crazy past few weeks as we have been going through the process of packing, moving, and now unpacking. I'm happy to say that we are now 90% settled, and I have resumed knitting. I even have a sweet new knitting/spinning space in our new place, of which I'll post pictures when it's finished.

It is my goal to update the blog with a running total of my Hexipuff count each Thursday. I'm aiming to complete my Beekeeper's Quilt (a total of approximately 384 puffs) by the end of 2012.

Today's Tally:

As of this posting, I have completed a total of 93 Hexipuffs! Only 291 more to go!

I am hoping to hit the 100 puff mark before the next post.  In order to stay on pace to finish by the end of the year, I need to keep up a pace of approximately 1.04918 puffs per day (or 7.344 per week). I fell off this pace with my traveling and moving recently, and am only averaging .9789 puffs per day at this point. I am hoping to catch up over the next few days, as I have a four-day weekend involving traveling to see my in-laws.
