Knitting Update: Soldotna

Knitting while cruising

I recently posted this picture and wanted to expand on the knitting.

This is Soldotna and in doing a search on previous posts here’s what I found:

Casted on: 11/2025

Yarn: Berroco Ultra Wool purchased when my LYS closed in Dec. 2019. The brown is color 33115. Teal- 33139, pink/purple-33153, white/cream- 3301

I also rediscovered my knitting to do list from late 2025/early 2026. I was tempted to repost that here but decided that can wait for another day. The last few months I’ve been doing less crafty stuff and have just been busy. And honestly, posting that list will overwhelm me and may cause a delay in posting.

For my 50th year, I have plans. One of which is knitting on a single project for 50 hours. 50 for 50! Soldotna is the first project. And hopefully will be done within that time frame.

Soldotna 10/19/2026

And this is where I started at the beginning of my 50th year. It’s beautiful. I love it and as always I have no idea why it got put away for so long. Really, I do know why… other more important things came up but every time I start playing with it again I enjoy myself immensely.

Knit on, universe,

Knitting new start: Soldotna

Since finishing Gardengate earlier this year I’ve been wanting to start a new sweater. But as my previous posts have said, life has been overwhelmingly crazy. And I’m still after 30 years, trying to figure out how to stop the crazy. I know I need to start saying no to things and I’m slowly doing that but not quick enough. Anyway, that’s a whole different post. After going through my 2 knitting project bins, I put the Soldotna at the top of my WIP list and started shortly after pulling it out.

Soldotna – started: 11/2025, here’s the current progress in Dec. 2025.

I do not play with it every day. I have 3 knitting WIPs and I’ve been alternating them from day to day. The fingerless mitts is the furthest along as for a short while, it was my only project I worked on and it was my daily knit. But it’s not a fun knit and it was just something to do while I figured out next knitting steps. It is also my travel knit as its small and portable. The third project is my cozy mini blanket. I’ll talk more about that on another post.

This is where I’m at currently, I’ll be starting the yoke when I pull it out to work on next. I can’t wait to start the colorwork as it’s my favorite part.

Yarn: Berroco Ultra Wool purchased when my LYS closed in Dec. 2019. The brown is color 33115.

Cheers! Knit on my friends.
