Congrats to the Moorit Makealong prize winner, Jbryanttoo! In other MAL news, Alyson finished her Kishie vest... ok so maybe it was a wee bit past the MAL end date. But at least that's an FO in the 2024 bank for Alyson to make up for the fact that she only finished 4 projects in 2023. Vivian on the other hand completed a whopping 24 projects last year!

It's the last month of the Moorit MAL! Alyson is nearly done with her Kishie vest... she might actually finish a project before the end of a craft-along!

You wouldn't know it from ALL the projects Vivian has been beavering away on, but she does have one cabled project to show off: her Folklore cardi! Plus a bit of color work in the form of both a WIP and an FO. Alyson meanwhile is trundling along with her not so sage Sage shrug.

Both Vivian and Alyson have a new project on the go, but no finished objects to speak of... that's because we were too busy on a little family vacation. We spent a few days on the Isle of Arran and had the best time, so do excuse us for having a little chat about that.

The Archive KCAL has ended... anyone want to guess which of us didn't finish their project? Surprise (not surprise), Alyson is still working on Bonny Puffin, but she is shaping up pretty well! And Vivian has indeed finished her Hand in Hand Vest which is an extra accomplishment since she basically made it one and a half times over.

WE'RE IN AMSTERDAM! Somebody pinch me... So we find ourselves in the Netherlands together, and what a wonderful trip it has been. It is both of our first time in Amsterdam, so there's been much sight seeing and admiring of canals and buildings. But we couldn't help recording a short episode together. It's a bit light on the crafty content, but we did visit a few yarn shops (and not just Stephen & Penelope).
