Sorry for the lack of posts this week, but it’s been a weird one.
I’ve made about 400 dozen hats in the past two weeks (ok, more like 4 dozen, seriously, but it feels like 400). There’s almost always a pair of wet felted hats on their blockers, drying and getting ready for the finishing [...]
Some of you have asked about different aspects of Third Thursday Knit Nights. Here’s a few snapshots of the kitchen and the goodies
Of course, it was all amazing, but the company was the star of the evening for us. I enjoy getting together with other creative types, sharing our love of fibers [...]
Stop by LynnH’s blog, ColorJoy!, and see what she has to say today (her entry is for Thursday, the 20th). She hits it so squarely on the head it isn’t funny. One thing I know is true about her entry is that I’m trying to work in the present. I’m trying to [...]
Back to the headline in a moment, but for now, it’s news time.
Session 2 of beginning knitting went very well last night. Three of my seven had completed a dishcloth since last week, one made a rectangle that was seamed to be a hotpad, two made a BIG swatch, and one just knitted until [...]
Today we’re up over the freezing point, so we’re getting a slow, steady rain. Cleansing rain, in many ways. It’s melting the snowcone slush that’s formed with three days of vehicle traffic (turning it a most unpleasant muck color, like a mud slurpee). Even Amy wouldn’t like this slurpee.
More importantly, I say [...]
Long live the Explorer…..or not.
Tonight we hopped in the Explorer to head out to the Knit Night in Franklin only to discover that the Explorer should be a metaphor for my life………it won’t go in reverse, so your only choice is to move forward. When you put it in reverse and step on the [...]
These weather forecasters around here. Drama drama drama. Snow and ice of mammoth proportions. Pshaw. Here’s the sum total of our wicked ice and snow storm.
On the left is a shot of the back deck, slightly iced over, but mostly just white. On the right is a handful of the [...]
It’s a quiet day around here, as few people are out and about. We’ve been under a winter storm warning all day, but only recently has it started to work it’s magic–sleet, freezing rain, and other yuck. I much prefer the snow, as I know it won’t bring down the trees and electric [...]
I promised pics of my Wendy-socks project, and here it is, being inspected by the namesake of my blog (in case it wasn’t obvious, Connor’s the inspiration around here).
I really like the knitted fabric of these socks, as the colors are rambling along beautifully. This is a stash-buster project, as I’ve had the yarn [...]
More later in the day, especially pictures of my Wendy’s toe-up socks (see below) and my finished felted tote in handpainted mohair.
I had to post my results to Teresa’s quiz link found here:
How Do (they think I) Really Feel About Valentine’s Day?

Although you wouldn’t be caught dead in a Cupid-covered sweater on [...]
