Once again, my blog has gathered quite a bit of digital dust. I didn't get around to posting about Halloween or Thanksgiving or even any Christmas related things, or the projects in between. I've been busy with work and life and the blog is the easiest item to put on the back burner. I feel… Continue reading Oh, Jackson

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
Sample Knitting: Atwood Shawl Edition
How's your summer going? We're looking at the last few weeks of it here and I am pleased to report that I do have quite a bit to show and share!

Cowl Catch-Up
I have two new finished objects to share! Like many knitters, I can appreciate a good scarf, but I really adore cowls. Long or short, they seem to sit just right and I feel like you can wear them more (indoors as well as out). I finally finished my "Infinite Blurple Cowl" that I started… Continue reading Cowl Catch-Up
A Fraction of Danger
This week I started on "Ways to Disappear" and it is moving much faster than I anticipated. The story is light yet intriguing and I am curious to see where it will go. My knitting is a bit blobby, but I am at the middle section of the Fractal Danger pattern. I finally had… Continue reading A Fraction of Danger

Jackson is a mini-dachshund, six inches off the ground with a short natural coat, and he always seeks out a little extra heat. He loves a… Continue reading FO Friday Cabled Dog Sweater
FO Friday Finally Rainbows
Who can resist a rainbow? Not me. Rainbow suspenders a la Mork, Rainbow Bright, Cheer Bear. That is the stuff of my childhood! After the success of Nate's Happy Throw last year, I thought it was time to make Lorelai a new blanket. She still has (and uses) the Big Bad Baby blanket I made… Continue reading FO Friday Finally Rainbows
FO Friday Two Cowls
Two of my three projects for Loopy Academy's 2nd Semester of Freshman Year are cowls. I love working on cowls, they are relatively quick, are not fussy as scarves can be, and provide the right amount of warmth right at your neck. This semester had a felting requirement, one I was not terribly interested in.… Continue reading FO Friday Two Cowls
Mitten Progress and more
I can say it was a very good Christmas. The people with whom I spent time, the presents exchanged, and the food were all so wonderful. My mind feels just so full with plans, ideas, and thoughts... hopefully after cleaning up a bit and getting some work done I will be able to recharge with… Continue reading Mitten Progress and more

I've got a finished object to share and I don't want to wait until Friday. I expect that I will be blogging on a bit of a random schedule for the next few weeks. I'm trying to organize and plan and prep and get the creative mojo going again and also relax and enjoy the… Continue reading My Deer Dachshund
