Gosh, it seems like a long time since I did one of these. And since it has caught my eye on several other blogs I figure I would play along too. 1. What’s your staple meal (ie. what meal do you cook most often when you can’t be bothered to be adventurous)? I think that… Continue reading

You know what's fun? Knitting for the wee ones. What's more fun? Seeing the knit item on the wee one. Several friends of ours have had babies this year. This is one of the newest ones, E - she was born in early May and yesterday we all got together to just hang out. Times… Continue reading Flower Girl
This Moment.
{this moment} – A Friday ritual. A single photo – no words – capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember.– Amanda Blake Soule, Soulemama.com
Shawl Done!
Not this one. I finally added the little loop, soaked and blocked a shawl I shared earlier. A sample shawl for Schaefer Yarn. Anne Shoulder Scarf (Ravelry link) in Schaefer Yarn Anne in the Irene Sendler colorway. Who was Irene Sendler? A memorable woman, that's for sure! I am quite pleased with the end result… Continue reading Shawl Done!

Nicknames

She recently has rediscovered a Cabbage Patch Doll that is interactive. She keeps referring to the doll as "Girl" - we were trying to offer her suggestions and while… Continue reading Nicknames
All Wound Up.
I think that's what I'm going to call my Swirl Shawl. The other night I was working on it and we had a heated, one-sided discussion. There was some cursing. Stitches were twisted and the yarn ball was had to be birthed out the center of the dpns. Let’s just say it was enough muttering… Continue reading All Wound Up.
Thirty-one is done! with a Blanket!
I had a birthday over the weekend - hello thirty-two! It was a good day, low-key in the morning and busy in the afternoon visiting with family on both sides (since it also was Father's Day). I have some new toys, new treats and new clothes... and most importantly I have my health, my family… Continue reading Thirty-one is done! with a Blanket!
Good Mail – part 2
It has been a long time since I've done a partner swap, but I decided to play along with the Chittery-Chattery-Swappery-Swappers group on Ravelry in the Scavenger Hunt partner swap. Isn't that a mouthful? :)The guidelines: This will be a one-on-one partner swap (you’ll know who your partner is and be able to communicate with… Continue reading Good Mail – part 2
Good Mail – part 1
I was very excited to see the mailman stop the truck at my mailbox this week and put two packages inside! The first package contained yarn! On Twitter, I think, is where I first found rAchel (ontheround) - she's got a young one at home and is a spinner and knitter. Then I checked out… Continue reading Good Mail – part 1
