I was called to Jury Duty this week. My second reaction after the initial one of being summoned was one of absolute disappointment. I wonder what happened, with which knitter, that made the court specifically make note of this in the pamphlet. And do I know this knitter? In a moment like this, I am really… Continue reading Do a Good Turn

Departing the text, departing the dock
I'm sure I've posted somewhere in my blog before that I like books and following directions. I am one of those people that runs to the library for answers first, not the lab. What can I say, I like to be prepared! Departing the text When it comes to knitting, I stick to the pattern.… Continue reading Departing the text, departing the dock

Finished Object Friday! I finally can share a little baby gift I crocheted! This little bunny has been finished for a while, but I had to wait for the new little guy (my nephew) to arrive. Then I had to be patient with the mail service to deliver his first piece of mail! I used… Continue reading A Bunny FO
The last of 2016 and Looking ahead
Goodbye, 2016. Hello, 2017! I love the idea of starting new. New school year, new calendar year, new project, new office supplies, new planners, it doesn't really matter. Nothing (or very little) has gone wrong and the hope and optimism are exciting. Before I get to 2017, I have to wrap up a few loose… Continue reading The last of 2016 and Looking ahead
Rhinebeck 2016
When it comes to writing about Rhinebeck, I often have trouble finding the right words. Next to a traditional New England Thanksgiving, this is the epitome of fall in the northeast. It is an experience and there is a lot to take in, even when your attendance is a yearly event! My Rhinebeck Sweater Two… Continue reading Rhinebeck 2016
That blanket
Last year I decided I wanted to make a blanket. I had a lot of nice wool leftovers and thought it would be a great idea to put them together in one project. The original plan was to make an Age Before Beauty blanket, sort of patchwork style, expecting it to be pretty in… Continue reading That blanket
