First things first!<\/p>\n

I have uploaded two new videos to my youtube channel – Provisional Longtail Cast On in German<\/a> and English<\/a>! Let me know what you think or what you’d like to see next!<\/p>\n

And now let me tell you the sad story of the WIP of the day. The random number generator chose my Frog Prince for today.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Although I started it YEARS ago, I knew exactly where it was and looked forward to having a FO with just some sewing up to do. So I got the frog and began counting. Head and body, stuffed and sewn. Four feet, also stuffed and sewn. Two eyes, the crown and – three legs. Three!<\/p>\n

Hubby said this was a sign that I clearly have enough stuffed animals and should toss the frog. But I wasn’t ready to give up yet. I didn’t remember if the pattern came from a magazine or was a download, but I found it in the very first folder I checked on the laptop. So close to victory, I checked my Ravelry stash for the yarn – only to find out I had thrown it away a few months ago. So goodbye, little frog prince, you clearly weren’t meant to be…<\/p>\n

Instead of finishing the frog prince, I’ll work the next patch for my temperature blanket and then continue Elizabeth Zimmermann’s Aran Sweater for January.<\/p>\n

Have you seen the new Challenge on Ravelry? You can sign up with a number of projects you want to finish in 2018. Maybe I’m delusional, but I signed up for 50. Given that I finished 46 in 2017, it should be possible, but then I didn’t make a million sweaters last year. Also, the temperature blanket won’t count. The website where I get the official high and low temperature is two days behind, so the earliest date to finish the blanket is January 2nd, 2019. But we’ll see. Just the other day I thought that I could make some bookmarks… Maybe I should get started!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
