Bring on the Clouds
Happy Fall, everyone! I don’t know about you, but I’ve been ready for fall weather for weeks now. Cooler temperatures, crisp breezes, cloudy skies, and RAIN. Yep, we’re doing a jig every time it rains now. Bring on the clouds. … Continue reading
Near Instant Gratification
If you’ve been following along for any length of time, it’s fairly obvious that I’m not what anyone would call a monogamous knitter. This is my happy state, in all areas of my life. Every professional position I’ve ever held … Continue reading
Roadworthy Knitting
I know, I know! I promised you an update on the knitting. Then Son went back to school and I puddled up for a week. And this week I’m fighting off a cold. I know what you’re thinking. “Didn’t she … Continue reading
Revolving
My knitting/crochet mojo seems to have hit a particularly bad stretch of “sporadic activity.” And “hopping around.” And “never getting anything done.” There are no finished works, just a large pile of works in progress (WIP) that never seem to … Continue reading
Holiday Roundup
I know. We’re several weeks into the new year. Not me though; I’ve been on vacation! We welcomed in the new year along with everyone else, but it didn’t really FEEL like the new year yet. Know what I mean? … Continue reading

Catching up on FO’s
I’m behind on showing you several finished objects (FO’s). I still blame the boxes. I finished the fairytale cape in plenty of time for my niece’s birthday. I even managed to find some white fun fur and a sparkly button … Continue reading
Other Work in Progress
Now, just because I started a few new projects does not necessarily mean that I have abandoned the other work in progress. I have never been accused of being a monogamous knitter/crocheter, after all. So here’s an update on the … Continue reading
Startitis
Almost as soon as finishitis was over, startitis set in. (You knew that was coming, right?) I went stash-diving and pulled out a second family-gifted skein of sock yarn. Which I then cast on for these socks. That’s a super … Continue reading
Finishitis
There’s a term in the knitting community for starting a bunch of projects all at once that may or may not get completed. It’s called startitis. And it’s a real problem for some people. You may know it as “oooh … Continue reading
