Archie The Wonder Dog

Furtle (v): to have a rummage or delve into the contents of something Hello! Another quick post from me this month but first a reminder that the link party for Fettle Those Finishes! 2025 is open until the end of February so please feel free to join us.  This month I have mainly been resting and watching telly (Professor T, Dalgleish, The Traitors Australia, The Traitors U.K. (hoping to finish that soon as spoilers are getting increasingly difficult to avoid) while knitting socks. I finished the socks I didn’t manage to finish last year and got the first thing crossed off my Fettling List : Read about them here And have made great progress on the first pair of the year for me: Don’t worry about those holes, that’s where the yarn has been broken off an a new one started and will be sorted once the ends have been darned in.  How it started: How it’s going: Is you absolutely sure you has enough to finish bof socks? (I’m not, no!)   This post is later in the day than usual a...

 Care to guess what I’ve finished?!  . . . Did you guess socks? If so, you’re right; if not, what did you guess? These socks are for a friend and will be the only socks I knit for someone else for at least the rest of this year and Mini Archie has his firm face on to prove it *quivers* Yarns are “Red” and “Turquoise” from  Made By Penguins As always with  Made By Penguins ’ yarn, it knitted up beautifully!   Mr Random Number Generator has chosen the yarn for the next socks and I don’t even have to do any winding as it’s leftovers from previous Made By Penguins socks: For mine next trick, you will turn these into socks!  That’s one thing crossed off my Fettling List  and we’re not halfway through the month yet! (The advantage of not finishing a relatively small something last year is that you’re almost guaranteed an early finish if you keep working on it until it’s done.) 

A quick post to let you know that the link party for your Fettling lists is now open. You can link up below or on the  main post , it doesn’t matter which as it’s the same link party on both posts.  Hooray, it’s time to link up your lists! You are invited to the Inlinkz link party!

  Hello, and welcome to the fourth full year of  Fettle Those Finishes!   It lasts for the whole year so I’ll leave it open until 28th February to give you chance to think about and assemble your list - it’s not something to rush into and can take quite a while unless you’re like me and there’s a tendency to be able to copy and paste from the previous list to populate the new one and only need minor tweaks *sighs*   Adding stuff to your list (or taking things off if you’ve changed your mind about a project) through the year is perfectly acceptable. Encouraged, in fact, as there’s no point in sticking with something you no longer love/need just out of habit. Just make sure anything added is added before you finish it, it’s up to you how you define that. There’ll be a progress link up on 1st July (which I also tend to use as an opportunity to write a new list) and I’ll (try to) remind you in the June  Furtle . The rules Be kind. Be encouraging. Be honest. Don’t pu...
