In My Travels

Riley & I attended Fiber Festival of New England- check out our vlog video on the Down Cellar Studio YouTube Channel.

Met up with Michelle (chellescraps) and her friends in the morning. Great to see Lisa- who met us at Rhinebeck after following mom’s Crispina Scrapbox challenge project! Find a photo of mom in that outfit in this Instagram post.

Commentator Update

We are 10 weeks into the NFL season (and our knit a long) so I thought it would be fun to take a look at the scoreboard to see if any players had completed 10 or more projects…that is, averaging at least one project per week.  I was stunned.  Over 35 players have completed 10 or more projects!  

Leading the way is player eyenowhour who has completed 27 projects–including 5 shawls and 12 baby garments!  Impressive!  

But don’t be dismayed if you can’t imagine being as productive as eyenowhour! The great thing about the PSP is you can craft as much or as little as you want and still have a chance to win!

Contest, News & Notes

My friend Linda is looking for donations of warm handknit/crocheted items for adult and youth homeless in Massachusetts. They set up tables on Thanksgiving and put all of the handmade items on the fence outside the First Church in Woburn, MA. Calling for all makers who want to donate. PM me on Ravelry or email me at downcellarstudio at gmail.com and I’ll give you the address to send them to. Any fiber type welcome. Hats, scarves, mitts, shawls, blankets. Anything warm is welcome!

I also talked about Socks for Sam. Check out their website. You can raise awareness for VWM by knitting a sock using #SocksForSam and tagging @Knitsocksforsam. 

Life in Focus

I shared some updates about Mom’s new cancer treatments and recent hospital stays.

On a Happy Note

  • I’m finding it very hard to be happy after the US election, but I try hard to look for these happy notes. As Gretchen Rubin reminded us on a recent episode of the Happier Podcast it is not selfish or unimportant to look for ways to be happy even when and especially when life feels really hard. When we are happier, we can do more to assert our values in the world and do hard things, so I started this segment with that reminder.
  • Knitting on Hattie’s socks and Sue’s Instagram live on the day after the election helped me through a very difficult day.
  • Halloween!
  • Leaning into connecting with my people- whether that’s work, friends, family, knitting community. Its small but its powerful.
  • During Mom’s first infusion, we played UNO. Mom slaughtered us! Dad got up and jokingly said he was going to smother her with a pillow before she could beat us any further and she was laughing so hard she almost offed herself! That was a bit of levity we all needed that night.
  • We watched G&Z while their parents went out for their anniversary and again on Veteran’s Day.
  • Date night with Dan between Mom’s treatments. I had a delicious pumpkin beer- Night Shift Pumpkin Piescraper Pumpkin Pie Ale.
  • I went to see & Juliet with Megg, Terri, Liz and Riley. Then I had a sleepover at my brothers where Riley, Millie and I inadvertently had a matching PJs night.

Brainstorming

I fell in love with the Love Today Cowl by Knit Sisu that I saw at a VT Sheep and Wool. I found some of my handspun (Ravelry page here) that I thought would work, wound it up and then did a wraps per inch test and its too thin. I went back to the handspun bin, and found another skein (Ravelry page) and now I’m thinking they’d be nice in the Inclinations Cowl by Andrea Mowy (Ravelry | website).

The goal of this cowl was for a potential Christmas gift even though I’d like it for me, but I think with these 2 skeins of handspun I want to keep it, so we’ll see if I cast these on now or let it marinate, because I also want to cast on a sweater for me, and more socks and hats for Christmas gifts.

I swatched for a sweater with yarn from VT Sheep and Wool. More on that next time.
