The Blizzard of 2013 has come and gone but we're going to be dealing with this mess for a while. We measured 26" outside our front door, and CT effectively shut down this weekend. My husband and I worked shoveling our driveway yesterday and today and we're maybe 1/3 of the way done. We haven't… Continue reading Bug Eyed & Sluggish

“Stawm’s Brewin'” (Yarn Along, a day late!)
The weather reports have been crazy this week. They have all hinted at some weather event for Friday, my usual guy wasn't even giving numbers because the models were all over the place. Last night we started hearing numbers. Big numbers. This morning everyone is in blizzard prep mode. So something big is coming and… Continue reading “Stawm’s Brewin'” (Yarn Along, a day late!)
Mittens!
The weekends should not be for catching up, but this weekend that is what I will be doing. After a wind / rain storm on Wednesday night, we lost power and did not get it back until late Friday afternoon! UGH. It was such a ridiculous thing too, not a huge storm, but it did… Continue reading Mittens!
Yarn Along – Jan. 30
Someone turns into a little ham when the camera comes out. He knows to say "Cheese" and look at that casual way of posing. Like he doesn't really care if he's in the shot or not. Silly boy. Anyway, I've had a fairly productive week. I am just about at the end of Season to… Continue reading Yarn Along – Jan. 30

~ Two of my favorite things are knitting and reading, and the evidence of this often shows up in my photographs. I love seeing what other people are knitting and reading as well. So, what are you knitting or crocheting right now? What are you reading? Take a photo and share it either on your… Continue reading Yarn Along – January 23
Sluggish.
Mondays have their own special feeling, don't they? Actually I tend to look forward to Mondays. My house is quiet again after a busy weekend with everyone home. Today though is a rough one following a very rough weekend. 3 out of the 4 of us have been sick all weekend - 2 colds &… Continue reading Sluggish.

Needled
How was your weekend? This happened:I snapped one of my needle tips off at the join while knitting on my current sample knitting job. It figures. I probably should not be entirely surprised - I've used this particular set of interchangeable needles near daily for the last 3-4 years. As I have been working on… Continue reading Needled
FO Friday – A Hat
I feel like a terrible knitter sometimes. All of a sudden, winter weather is coming on strong and my kids still did not have proper winter hats! I did make the Lorax a hat back in November with sparkly purple yarn she chose (Kollage Glisten), but I was impatient in getting to the crown decreases.… Continue reading FO Friday – A Hat
Resolutions & Intentions
Source: etsy.com via Rebecca on PinterestAll week I keep thinking about resolutions / intentions. I've been reading other people's blogs, lurking in groups on Ravelry (almost dreaming that I was one of those knitters - 13 socks/shawls/mitts in 2013, all the -alongs: block of the month along, knit all the patterns from XYZ book, knit… Continue reading Resolutions & Intentions
