Recovery Work
Early last week I went in for the second of several rounds of oral surgery that my lovely periodontist has planned for me. He says we may get to delay the rest of them indefinitely, which is just fine with … Continue reading
Big Projects at a Small Gauge
I found myself at my local yarn shop (LYS, in knitterspeak) a few weeks ago, in need of several new circular needles. My being at the yarn shop is nothing new – I’m there for their open Knit Night every … Continue reading

Restarting
Last week I hinted that I was ripping out and restarting a project. No, it’s not the skirt project. That one went into the frog pond so I could ponder how best to proceed. Instead, I resurrected a different project … Continue reading
Handspun Sweater: Finished
Remember that deadline I set myself to finish the handspun sweater before Son’s Spring Break started? Well, I met it. Though I will admit that the sweater was still a bit damp when I packed it into the suitcase to … Continue reading
