On the Spice Market

April 21, 2017

For over a year I have been in love with the pattern On the Spice Market by Melanie Berg. I’ve seen so many color combos knitters have made that are gorgeous… but none of them spoke to me like the original colorways she chose from Miss Babs. I knew that I wanted to wait on making one until I could get those exact colors. And then they went out of stock. I was sooooo sad! So I put in my email address to be notified when it came back in stock (part of me didn’t think it would, as it’s such a gorgeous set!) and forgot about it.

Lo and behold, just before my birthday, I got an email that it was available! I don’t think you’d really call it an impulse buy since I’d been preying upon that listing for over a year, but it sure felt like one. I decided right then and there that I wasn’t going to miss it again. So I got it! FINALLY!!!!! Happy birthday to me, right?

To motivate myself to finish my WIP’s, I decided not to cast on this project until I have finished the ones I carried over from 2015 and 2016. I know I won’t lose excitement about this shawl, as I’ve been excited about it for over a year! So I can wait a lil longer. ;)

I have twine strung on the wall above my desk, and that’s where I put things I want to be visible, things I don’t want to forget about. I currently have a shawl design I need to release, my pointe shoes, my 2017 yearly goals poster, a watercolor calendar, my workout routine, my hard copy of On the Spice Market, and… my gradient set!! Gotta stay motivated to finish my WIP’s after all!

  • Looking into YouTube planning options to help me structure my podcast a bit more and keep myself on track. If you have any input, please please comment or message me!! I’m also trying to see if a bullet journal layout might also work for me. HELPPPPP!!!! 😭😭😭
  • Day 15 of #fortheloveoffiberfebruary is FAVE FO and I just had to pull out this photo of me enjoying my Foraging cardigan because it’s definitely the FO I reach for the most except for my Honey Cowl. 🙃 (yay for being caught up again.. I’ll try not to lag so much any more, but I’ve just been so out of it from dealing with a lot of stress and anxiety lately..)
  • Day 14 of #fortheloveoffiberfebruary is LOVE and I chose this photo of me and my boy from last year when we traveled to Omaha for his friend’s wedding. We was best man, and I just tried to look nice next to him lol! But it was a blast! 
Yesterday for Valentine’s Day we cooked at home (he makes a mean steak omg) and sipped wine and watched GOT. Oh, and like the gamer girl that I am, I preordered Anthem. Super chill day. 😎
  • Day 13 of#fortheloveoffiberfebruary is TRY SOMETHING NEW and I am going to try my own spin of the bullet journal. I have had so much going on in my head lately that I really need a place to kind of braindump, and I figured I might as well give this a try to help reduce mental clutter. We shall see!
  • Day 12 of #fortheloveoffiberfebruary is LISTENING TO and I have been seriously enjoying @jojilocat’s journals!! She has such a beautiful way of communicating both in knitting and in words. Her designs are so inspiring!
