Fellow Knitters, I'm putting out the knit-signal...(credit for the logo goes to TheBookishGirl way back when!)My good friend Betsy, aka Theatreknitter, and her family have had some major stresses to deal with. On Aug. 31st her nephew, Patrick, was brought into Yale New Haven Children's Hospital ER. On that day they found 3 brain tumors… Continue reading When In Doubt, Knit a Hat
Yarn Along – Sept 7
From small things ~ Two of my favorite things are knitting and reading, and the evidence of this often shows up in my photographs. I love seeing what other people are knitting and reading as well. So, what are you knitting or crocheting right now? What are you reading? Take a photo and share it… Continue reading Yarn Along – Sept 7
Priorities & Perspective
It has been the longest week of my life I think, but I am trying to keep perspective. Thanks to "Irene" we lost power 4am on Sunday, August 28. Power was finally restored on Friday evening, September 2. 6 days without power, without running water, with a very active 3.5yr old and a 2 week… Continue reading Priorities & Perspective
Tinkerbell Slippers
The Lorax is into the Disney Princesses big time, but a few weeks back we found a Tinkerbell movie at the library, and now we are experiencing a little bit of a fairy phase. We have indulged in the other Tinkerbell movies as well - they are cute stories (though full of plot holes), I… Continue reading Tinkerbell Slippers

My uncle, of the… Continue reading Arr!

I love seeing what other… Continue reading Yarn Along – August 17
While I wait
Trying to keep myself occupied and distracted (without being too grumpy or antsy) this week as I continue to play the waiting game with the lil'nutmeg and the hospital. Thank goodness for knitting! I'm still working away on the hexipuffs: And have also sent off a bunch of mini-skeins for a swap - I am… Continue reading While I wait
Pondering
Amy, of thingswemake, posted some really interesting points to ponder last week. I found that I kept thinking about them, so I sent her a rambling email with my point of view on things. Her post on Thursday quoted me! 🙂 I wanted to share the blog-love and suggest it if you need something to… Continue reading Pondering
This moment. Squee!
