100/100 What a great day to close out #100daysofknitting ! I spun almost a whole 4oz of Greyskull by spinning all morning and afternoon thanks to getting an unexpected ADBD. In the evening I finished the gusset and heel flap on #msbshallowerncupcake.

99/100 I started in on my Greyskull spin but didn’t photograph it. Instead, here’s my Halloween Cupcake sock now with 1/2 a gusset! #100daysofknitting #msbshalloweencupcake

98/100 The singles for Tuffboi are done a few days ahead of schedule. And I started the heel gusset on Halloween Cupcake. #100daysofknitting #tourdefleece #msbstuffboi #msbshhalloweencupcake

97/100 I got an unexpected day off when the AC at work broke, so I got a ton done today. I established the body of Lavarock + Blossom is at the point where I need to block it before continuing, so it was time to start sleeves! I also wove in the last 18 or so ends.

An AC-is-broken delayed opening at work meant I got some stolen time to weave in some more ends on #msbslavarockandblossom

96/100 Three bobbins for #tourdefleece done! I finished up the parallel drafted singles tonight, and then started in on the to-be-chain-plied part. This Hello Yarn top is such a dream to spin! After the spinning, I worked on my Halloween Cupcake sock, which is getting very close to turning the heel.

95/100 I had to work the late shift so Day 3 of #tourdefleece needed to be more portable than my Matchless! I took my spindle to work along with a bump of Yarn Jam’s Electric Forest. I haven’t done much spindle spinning but it was so much fun!
July 8, 2025 at 3:22 AM
94/100 (Pic credit @schnookichu) 4 hours of #tourdefleece spinning in the books! Day 2 saw me finishing bobbin 2 of the non-chain-plied part, and getting a fair amount of the parallel draft part done. I’m loving this Hello Yarn fiber!

93/100 I kicked off #tourdefleece with spinning 1/3 of the non-chain-plied part of Tuffboi. Then I did a bit of work on L+B and stated the colorwork part of my popsicle socks. #100daysofknitting #msbstuffboi #msbslavarockandblossom #msbspopsicles

92/100 I plied Excitebike and OMG it’s even better than the sky-high expectations I’ve had for it ever since Santa left it under the tree for me. I also prepped Tuffboi for Tour de Fleece. I cast on some popsicle socks. And I did a few rows of L+B, and wove in a few ends. An excellent day!

91/100 A few rows of Lavarock + Blossom after getting the second shoulder on Joe Cool established. #100daysofknitting #msbslavarockandblossom
July 4, 2025 at 4:10 AM
90/100 The back of the yoke is done and now I’ve moved on to the left front on Joe Cool. The green and blue parts were my favorite when I was spinning this year so I’m glad I’ll be able to really see them when I wear this. #100daysofknitting #msbsjoecool
July 3, 2025 at 3:38 AM
89/100 Looks a lot like yesterday but there’s about 10 more rows or so on there. #100daysofknitting #msbsjoecool
July 2, 2025 at 3:54 AM
88/100 A whole lotta Joe Cool and a tiny bit of Cupcake socks. #100daysofknitting #joecool

87/100 Hazlitt roars his approval of Lavarock + Blossom! Also, I got a ton done on Joe Cool. #100daysofknitting #hazlittsupercat #zwigjam #msbslavarockandblossom #msbsjoecool

86/100 94/100 Today was a big day! I was really sure Lavarock + Blossom was turning out too large (I’m using different yarn weight than the pattern calls for) but just as I was mentally moving on to a different project, I tried L+B on and it’s a miracle! It fits!

85/100 Billion Acre Woods is done! L reminded me how to do the sewn b/o in a fraction of the time, so I had time to finish the ends (most of which were woven in already) and add the bear tag.
June 28, 2025 at 4:54 AM
84/100 Sewn bind-off is taking fooorrreeeeeevvvveeeerrrr. #100daysofknitting #msbsbillionacrewoods
June 27, 2025 at 3:33 AM
83/100 Time to start the hem on Billion Acre Woods! #100daysofknitting #msbsbillionacrewoods
June 26, 2025 at 3:14 AM
82/100 Second cuff done! Only the hem to go! #100daysofknitting #msbsbillionacrewoods
June 25, 2025 at 3:48 AM
81/100 One cuff of Billion Acre Woods done at nearly midnight on a work night, posing with the contents of an excellent mail call — some future Halloween socks and a boffo braid of spinning fiber! #100daysofknitting #msbsbillionacrewoods

80/100 The Uncle Rocky socks are finished! I need another super portable project going, so I cast on some new self-striping socks. #100daysofknitting #msbsunclerocky #msbshalloweencupcake
June 23, 2025 at 3:36 AM
79/100 Ispun a bunch of Excitebike, and did a bunch of Uncle Rocky. The second sock is done and the first is ripped back to the start to the toe to become the third sock, which is now about 1/2 through the colorwork. Dansby approves.
June 22, 2025 at 4:16 AM
78/100 Uncle Rocky II’s colorwork is done! I have a few short rows to go and grafting the toe, and then Second Sock is done! (Then First Sock has to be ripped out and redone but still! Progress!) #100daysofknitting #msbsunclerocky
