If a knitter knits some item, and leaves it lying around, will it get worn and used? Yes. Well, I'll be. I knit up this Moochie hat for the Lorax back when it seemed like winter was arriving early. She picked the pattern and the yarn, and when it was finished she wouldn't let me… Continue reading Age old question

Transition
The inbetween time of Halloween and Thanksgiving. Ignore the fact that Christmas stuff and music is in the stores and that "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" (original cartoon version) was on tv over the weekend. Also ignore the awful "Autumn Nor'easter" that left me with the sudden onset of the feeling that winter is coming… Continue reading Transition

He's doing great at picking his head up, loves sleeping on his tummy, can usually find his thumb if he's on his stomach, and just yesterday started "talking" with a lot of cooing / oohing / aahing. He… Continue reading Two Months!

Last year I made the effort to… Continue reading Rhinebeck or Bust!
