I have been working on my husband's Spice Sweater for over a year, and it is currently sitting in a Kookaburra Wool Wash soak before I rinse it out and block it before figuring out buttons and getting grosgain ribbon to cover up the steek. I'm so happy with how it turned out, though to be fair, my husband has gained a bit of weight back since I started it and used those measurements. I'm hoping it will block out a touch bigger, and I'm trying to figure out how to make a placket for it to button in. Otherwise, I'm calling it done. The knitting is done at least.
On this amazingly cold, snowy, and windy day, I've also been working on a pair of socks for me. I'm breaking out the temperature blanket next since the house is chilly. I really need to finish a few things, go check on the ducks and geese, clean out the pellet stove, figure out dinner (leaning toward a frittata with all the duck eggs we have), and then settle down for more knitting and some spinning, which my PT at the Cleveland Clinic told me to use for physical therapy. I've been spinning up some white roving from the stash that I want to say is Romney. I got a good deal on it from FB Marketplace, and I might have enough for a sweater for me. Still, I do need these USC Trojan socks... and yes, I do see the mistake in the ribbing. I'm leaving it in as a reminder that I'm far from perfect.

CarinaI go by Bina on Ravelry, have for years, and used to have a knit blog ages ago. With everything going on with Ravelry and elsewhere, I think it's time to bring back the knit blog. Archives
