For FO Friday I have two things to share. I finished the SCREAMING NEON tube socks for kids. Unfortunately, they are a bust. They don't fit my 6 year old's feet, too snug. Oh well. It's my fault, I didn't bother to swatch, I just cast on and knit away. We have friends visiting us… Continue reading Sock Bust and a Thneed

This week has a little bit of everything! I started a new cross stitch project, have been swatching for a new sample knit, and a selfish knit in progress. I also worked on the tube socks for Lorelai and finished them. The sample knit is for Good Karma Farm, using their new sport weight yarn,… Continue reading Wednesday Projects and Books
Hand Stitched Necklace Review
As I have hinted at before, life off-line has been distracting as we "wait and see" on a number of health issues. I ended up doing a little retail therapy and purchased a kit from Red Gate Stitchery on etsy. I do not usually wear a lot of jewelry, and when I do, I keep… Continue reading Hand Stitched Necklace Review
Weekending
Weekends are for memory making, relaxing and enjoying quiet moments of our days. I'm not able to finish out this years Knit & Crochet Blog Week. I suppose I could play catch up, but I would really rather just keep moving forward. I was interrupted by real life happenings - not all of which were… Continue reading Weekending
5KCBWDAY3 – Image Handling Experiment
Experimental Photography And Image Handling For Bloggers. This is an old picture, but one that I thought about a lot today. It's been a crap year in a lot of ways, with several family members dealing with health issues and hospital stays. Today, one of the littlest members of my family is still in the… Continue reading 5KCBWDAY3 – Image Handling Experiment

Vigorous Violets
I finished April's Personal Sock Club this week. The yarn, a purple / green self-striper from the now nonexistent Rainy Days & Wooly Dogs, is called "Sailor Pluto" but, I took to calling these my Vigorous Violets. The name is actually a nail polish I picked up when my niece, Violet, got to go home… Continue reading Vigorous Violets
A Swatch
I shared a photo in my post on Monday about my plans for different projects. Two of those yarn cakes are no longer sitting pretty on my desk. One turned into a finished object I'll talk about on Friday and the other I have been swatching. A friend and I indulged in yarn from a… Continue reading A Swatch
Mondays are for Making Plans
Today I have been trying to clean up my desk. In doing so I have uncovered a few projects that were hibernating, a few yarns to be added to the stash, and a lot of yarn leftovers. I have been sorting, stashing, and searching. Winding too, in anticipation of swatching, and I'm not going to… Continue reading Mondays are for Making Plans
