It is Wednesday right? Monday holidays (while wonderful) really throw me off my game. Tuesday felt like Monday, so today doesn't feel like Wednesday. My daughter's school has a half-day for some reason, so her timeline is shifted and I can already hear my son wide awake in his bed (so napping is off as… Continue reading Starts and samples

Wednesday Projects and Books
This week has a little bit of everything! I started a new cross stitch project, have been swatching for a new sample knit, and a selfish knit in progress. I also worked on the tube socks for Lorelai and finished them. The sample knit is for Good Karma Farm, using their new sport weight yarn,… Continue reading Wednesday Projects and Books
Projects are Waiting 5KCBWDAY1
Day One (Monday 12th May): A Day In The Life. Describe a day in the life of a project that you have made, or are in the process of making. I thought I had another week before Blog Week started, oops! Anyway, let's check in with a few of the projects that are hanging around.… Continue reading Projects are Waiting 5KCBWDAY1
A Swatch
I shared a photo in my post on Monday about my plans for different projects. Two of those yarn cakes are no longer sitting pretty on my desk. One turned into a finished object I'll talk about on Friday and the other I have been swatching. A friend and I indulged in yarn from a… Continue reading A Swatch
WIP Wednesday Awesome Girls
I like a good theme. This week the theme seems to be "Awesome Girls". I'm knitting an Awesome Girl for a friend on Ravelry. My current pair of in-progress socks I have named "Vigorous Violets" in honor of my niece (who unfortunately is back in the hospital). When I was working the other day, as… Continue reading WIP Wednesday Awesome Girls
Obvious Issues
Here's the nitty-gritty: It's school vacation week. My brain is full. My knitting mojo is weak. It happens. I started working on a crochet washcloth just to have something to occupy my hands and do something creative. That seemed to have worked, because I'm now on cloth #5. This is my new "potato-chip" project, and… Continue reading Obvious Issues
On a limb
I thought that once March wrapped up, we might be able to start April off on the right foot. Well, I may as well have started April off with a visit to the Ministry of Silly Walks because holy chickens, it has been a whirlwind of activity and not all of it is great. You're… Continue reading On a limb
Socks, a scarf, a kit and a book
I finished Stitches last week and enjoyed it, though I was left wanting a bit more. Lucky for me, my mom brought Help, Thanks, Wow to borrow (which I gave to her at Christmas). I have yet to start it; maybe I'll be able to sneak in a few pages today. I've also been reading… Continue reading Socks, a scarf, a kit and a book
Tiny Stitches
This week I picked up Stitches, by Anne Lamott. I was first introduced to her writing freshman year of college with Bird by Bird, a book that I think of often and really should reread. (I think it was a social justice class. I also read Amazing Grace in that class which was phenomenal.) I… Continue reading Tiny Stitches
March is roaring in
I didn't get the chance to post last week because I was simply too busy keeping track of all my irons in the fire. I think I have a good handle on things, but still have to deal with the distractions like everyone does. Anyway, Hello March! It's another Wednesday, so what am I working… Continue reading March is roaring in
