Over the weekend I rediscovered Head to Toe: Kids Knit Accessories - there are a number of great patterns in there! As I talked about last time, I have a case of start-itis, and so I started a new project. I offered the book to my daughter to pick out a few things I could… Continue reading WIP Wednesday No Surprises Edition

Another book started and Sweater Opposites
Another week, another book, and unfortunately not because I finished The Secret Place. I would consider picking it up again at some future point, I just couldn't get through it in a week. I had also grabbed Dark Places from the library and I am really glad that I did. I loved Gone Girl and… Continue reading Another book started and Sweater Opposites
Project progress
Hello July! It's a new month and I have a new project! Two actually, but I can't show you the sample project. Instead I can show you my new Camp Loopy project - a Spring Garden Tee for me. I'm using Cascade Pima Cotton in the most awesome shade of Teal that has ever existed… Continue reading Project progress
WIP Wednesday and Summer Startitis
At long last, summer has returned! Things are shaping up to be busy, but fun. After a stretch of books that I picked up but did not finish, I grabbed the Luckiest Girl Alive from the library this week. It's not exactly what I thought, I can't stand the main character, but it's got enough… Continue reading WIP Wednesday and Summer Startitis
WIP Wednesday In the Trenches
June has rolled in and over me as life is busy with work catch-up and end of school year events (that seem to somehow go on and on for three weeks). Anyway, while there has not been much reading, there has been a bit of researching. I've been trying to find a good tutorial on… Continue reading WIP Wednesday In the Trenches
WIP Wednesday Dark Start
This week I started my first project for the 2015 Camp Loopy. The first challenge is this: The Challenge for Project One – I Spy. When going on a Safari, you spy all kinds of cool things (animals, trees, birds, plants, etc.) What would you like to spy on your safari? Pick a yarn color… Continue reading WIP Wednesday Dark Start
WIP Wednesday Can’t Tell You Too Much Edition
Last week I shared that I had started The Husband's Secret in my Yarn Along post. Not surprisingly, I devoured it - it was interesting, and soap-opera-ish, and I couldn't put it down. Perfect summer fodder. It has already been returned to the library, as it's one of their "7-day" loans. My reading mojo is… Continue reading WIP Wednesday Can’t Tell You Too Much Edition
WIP Wednesday Mojo Kickstart
I can't quite put my finger on the why, but my reading mojo has just not been there. The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society is interesting but takes its time, and when I have a few moments to read, what I'm reading is just ok. When I have to stop reading to switch… Continue reading WIP Wednesday Mojo Kickstart
WIP Wednesday bottom cuffs edition
This week the weather turn a beautiful turn. It was sunny and warm and even a touch of OMG, Humid! Strange to think that 2 months ago we were still surrounded by snow and ice. We almost forgot that gross feeling of humidity! Not surprisingly my blanket was put aside. The timing worked out just… Continue reading WIP Wednesday bottom cuffs edition
A Blanket and BonBons
While I do have other projects to be working on (always!), I am really glad that I started the "I'm 37 I'm not Old Blanket"! The first stripe is just about done. I picture the length to be slightly longer than I am tall. Life in this little nutshell has been tiring lately and in… Continue reading A Blanket and BonBons
