Mini Archie’s January Furtle Around The Blogosphere
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:

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’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 as the link party can’t open until 8pm (GMT) as I have to wait for the Fettle Those Finishes! 2024 End Of Year Reports party to close before the door to this one can be opened. Annoying but this is, hopefully, the last time we’ll have to deal with this problem until December.
Linking up to the January Furtle
If you're linking up, please add a link (one per person, please) to your blog post, which could contain: a mosaic of all you've made in the month, something you've made/started/worked on, a goal which you'd like to achieve in the next month (and then in next month's post you can reflect on that goal and set yourself another one - I find this particularly handy if I'm in the midst of a big project and finding the making of hundreds of blocks to be interminable), anything crafty you'd like to share. This isn't just for sewing or quilting, but is for all crafts so if you knit, make lace, make clothes, do anything which could come under the heading of 'craft', then please link up. Please visit the link immediately before and after you and leave an encouraging comment, and more if you can manage it - we all know that comments create joy, so let's spread some around. Also, please treat all the linked posts and their authors with respect - I want this to be an inclusive space for all crafters and crafts and all are welcome. If you're not sure if you're welcome or you belong, you do - this is by no means a closed space and if you want to join, then you are most welcome. If you need help linking up, please leave a comment and I will do my best to help. Please add the Furtling button to your blog post: copy the code below and paste it into your blog post - it should then magically appear when you publish your blog post (I'll do my best to help if you have any problems) and it will help people find the Furtling page with all the details of the link up.
To link up, go to the link at the bottom of this page and click on 'link up' (it's a blue button) and then add your link (website URL), a title (this could be your blog name but could also be something interesting to draw people to it (keep it clean!) if you prefer), and your email. This last one doesn't appear on the link (I will have access to it - I won't use it unless there's a problem and I need to contact you) so don't worry that you're about to share your email address with the world (or the handful of people who find this link), you're not! The link will remain open until 10th February; if you're seeing this post after this date, I'm afraid you can't link up to the January Furtle, but you can link next month if you like.
