We're finally back to a mostly normal routine. People working where they should, school is in session, and yet I cannot keep track of what day of the week it is. Figures. Maybe it is the cold weather. It has been absolutely frigid. Cold fingers don't knit very fast, but I have been working on… Continue reading Warm Fuzzies

Personal Sock Club
Once I gained a bit of confidence in my knitting, I tried socks. I can remember sitting in my bedroom surrounded by printouts from the internet of how to knit a sock on double points. I held those pointy tips so close to my eyes I am pretty lucky I didn't hurt myself when I… Continue reading Personal Sock Club
Well Begun Is Half Done
(I saw Saving Mr. Banks last week and really enjoyed it. It's a very sweet movie and makes me want to rewatch Mary Poppins and read the book, which somehow I have never done!). I intend to get quite a lot done in 2014. Among the usual of read more, continue sample knitting, try new… Continue reading Well Begun Is Half Done
At the end
Hello Monday! We're still in vacation mode (minus a dentist appointment later today). This is a highly enjoyable change of pace. I think the kids have settled in to the "at home" routine, and calmed down a bit from the excitement of last week. Over the weekend I caught up on a few podcasts and… Continue reading At the end
Back to the blog
Hello! Merry Christmas! Hopefully you had a lovely holiday season, I feel very lucky to say that I did. Among all the events (and noise, oh the noise) there was a lot of love and laughter. I love Christmas, I do, but I also love the days after it all to recover and be lazy.… Continue reading Back to the blog
A Silent Blog
This blog has been quiet for a while and the digital dust has started to gather. All is well, life is just busy. There has been a wonderful run of celebrations (anniversary, Thanksgiving, gathering with friends, someone around here turned 6, there's another birthday today) and still more to come. I keep meaning (and wanting)… Continue reading A Silent Blog
Sock Love
I have not one, but two pairs of finished socks to share! The first, RH's Toasty Toes have been on the needles for a while. I started these with the intention of giving them to Dan but have decided to keep them. I really love them, they are super warm and cozy and I know… Continue reading Sock Love
Hats on Friday
Sometime last week, or possibly the week before, as the outside temperatures took a major dip, school sent home a note that I needed to send "winter gear" in with my son. And then we also had to turn on the heat. The time had come to dig out the hats and mitts and scarves… Continue reading Hats on Friday
Enjoyable WIPs
Is it fair to show a WIP that is now finished? If you follow me on pretty much any other social media channel, I posted about how I started a hat over the weekend, and couldn't stop working on it! It's done, washed, and is drying now. I hope I will be able to… Continue reading Enjoyable WIPs
The Quiet Busy
This weekend was all together too short and too long. We had one designated, planned thing on each day, (each in town and under 2 hours) but by Sunday night we both thought this weekend was too busy. As the holiday season rolls in and we're looking forward to a fundraising event for family, Thanksgiving,… Continue reading The Quiet Busy
