like one of those statues from my childhood…….the little guy standing with his arms WIDE apart…..THIS MUCH! Yes, that’s how much I love what I do. And then some.
Today (well, Thursday) was a l-o-n-g day. I got up without an alarm around 7:30 a.m., putzed around my room for about 30 minutes [...]
Well, the Mondo Cable Cardi is finished, as of a couple Fridays ago
All that remains is a hearty wet blocking and then it’s time to put on the three buttons (two on the collar and one on the top of the cabled edging). I’m so completely enamoured with this finished garment that I tend [...]
Well, the best intentions……..I wanted to blog almost daily while we were at TNNA, but that didn’t happen. And getting back into the swing last week was a bit hectic, so I didn’t get much done online last week, either. Enter Sunday (yesterday, 6/21), a day when Matt and I can typically get [...]
well, sorta……I did work on the weekly newsletter early this morning, then ran some errands, came back to the house and shot several of the pictures you’ll see below, ran some errands with Matt, went by the shop, hit the grocery store, fixed dinner, relaxed, and now I’m blogging. Yup–the perfect day!
The weather has [...]
Tuesday was a great day off, and Wednesday made up for it–in spades. From start (around 8 a.m.) to finish (I turned in last night at 12:30) I had something going on. The middle of the day (from about 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.) was filled with interesting stuff, some of which we’ll [...]
OK–here goes what I think is rather obvious, yet not. I’ve gotten several e-mails (thank you) asking about, or hinting around, the topic. They started when there was a three-week period of radio silence (April 7th to 28th), which long-time readers who understand me a little bit hit square on the head, but [...]

Just a quickie post to share a little with you……….remember these mini hanks? (mine’s on the right)
from my Tuesday dyeing spree? Well, it knits up BEAUTIFULLY
and surprises abound—these are NOT typical colors for me….but I love it!
I made more mini hanks on Wednesday and again on Thursday, and I also made some [...]
Yup, I’ve been bitten by the bug. Or maybe I can blame it on Spring coming last Friday–the promise of something new? The grass outside is greening up and bulbs are poking their heads out of the soil–why can’t I start (several) something new?
First off, here’s justification…..
Yup, the adorable little jacket is completed [...]
Recently, I finished several things and freed up a variety of knitting needles. Or, more accurately I wrapped up a couple things that were on cabled from my set of addi Click needles, so that meant those cables were free to be used for new projects–just a switch of the needle tips to a [...]
