While I have some difficulty wrapping my head around the fact that it is indeed September, I am more than ready for it. I love summer, I really do - but heat waves I cannot stand. I have had enough - I am ready for cool breezes, layers, cups of tea in the afternoon and… Continue reading Hello September!
Garden WIPs
My knitting WIPs are either all under wraps or uninteresting blobs for the moment, so I'm going to blog about my garden. I consider myself quite lucky to have grown up with a dad who likes to garden. Starting seeds inside in the winter, weeding and dead-heading in the summer, eating cherry tomatoes right off… Continue reading Garden WIPs
These Moments
{this moment} - A Friday ritual. A single photo - no words - capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember. (From SouleMama.com)AndPeacefulknitter is headed off on a cross country adventure! Our group of regular SnB-ers each knit up a section of a… Continue reading These Moments
Recharged
I was off for a girls weekend with my Memorable Women up in Massachusetts on Saturday. I have one of those quote frames that truly sums us up, along the lines of "We may not see each other often enough but our friendship is a never ending conversation."We had time outside at Halibut Point State… Continue reading Recharged
Oh Buddy, You’re In Trouble
The other night, my father-in-law came over so we all went outside to say hello and help move some things. We left Jackson inside. The Lorax and I played outside for a bit when Dan and his dad left. We came inside to get something and Jackson was no where to be found. He didn't… Continue reading Oh Buddy, You’re In Trouble
Bookish
I spotted this meme on two blogs and I just couldn't resist. Plus my brain is sort of in a fog and funk right now and this seemed like a good idea at the time. 1. Favorite childhood book?Is it possible to pick one? I was a huge fan of the whole "Little House" series,… Continue reading Bookish
A little birdie
Each week, the Lorax and I attend a "Mommy & Me" sort of class. We started going when she was 8 weeks old or so - it was a great resource as a first time mom. As the Lorax grew, we made our way from the baby class to the waddlers group and now we're… Continue reading A little birdie
Touch and Go Knitting App – Review
I use my iPhone for everything - grocery shopping lists, notes, games, music, social networking - and I love that apps for knitting exist. Through a blog forum on Ravelry I made contact with the creator of a new knitting app, "Touch & Go Knitting" and was granted the opportunity to check it out. From… Continue reading Touch and Go Knitting App – Review
Size Matters.
Virginia's Beauty Schooled post today was really interesting, in my opinion. And not just because I got a shout out for a previous comment. I never thought about the patterning side of it, but that makes sense. Frequently at knitting night I hear others talk about shaping and how particular patterns help / benefit /… Continue reading Size Matters.
Memorable Women
Concert time! 3 of my best friends and I decided to attend Lilith Fair when it came through Hartford. Of course I had to consider what knitting I would bring! I settled on a "plain vanilla" sock following the cheat sheet from the Yarn Harlot. For the yarn, I used my new Memorable Women yarn… Continue reading Memorable Women
