For all the hype for "Blizzard 2015", I was happy to wake up to see snowfall amounts that were way less than forecast! We still have 15-18" of snow, shoveling to do, and the kids are going on their second day with no school. The power stayed on, the local plow guy was here early… Continue reading After the Blizzard

Storm Prep
We're getting ready for a doozy of a snowstorm this week. The last blizzard was incredible. I think we're still mentally sore from all the shoveling and cabin fever and have a better idea of what to expect. Sort of. The media and local politicians are using intimidating adjectives that just make us squirm. Hopefully… Continue reading Storm Prep
Little Hats Big Hearts Hats
Ready to send off to Chicago for the Little Hats, Big Hearts campaign! I made 12 red hats, also meeting the Sunset Family Living NICU Challenge. Nice way to use up some of the red acrylic and cotton in my stash, and I continued to work on my crochet skills. I ended up with… Continue reading Little Hats Big Hearts Hats
As You Wish
Since my daughter is on winter break from school this week, we've let her stay up a bit later at night and we all settle down with a book to read. That has helped me finally finish The Rent Collector. I liked the story and the references to how wonderful it is to be able… Continue reading As You Wish
My Deer Dachshund
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
So Close – reading and project progress
Sadly, I have not touched my current book in weeks, maybe even months. I did take a few moments this morning to read a few pages of The Rent Collector to be fair! A good friend gave me Ann Hood's Knitting Yarns last week and I am really looking forward to starting that.... eventually! The… Continue reading So Close – reading and project progress
Happy Halloween!
We're ready for Halloween tonight! The weather is predicted to be on the chilly side, perfect for all the Elsa's out there, including my own. My daughter is still big into all things princess. Last year she was Wonder Woman (technically a princess!) and I thought maybe this year we could something different. Elsa, in… Continue reading Happy Halloween!
Calm Cowl Finished
One FO this week, and it is already off and into the wild. Well, maybe not the wild, but there is a good chance you can see this cowl at the Common Ground Fair in Maine. This was a sample for Good Karma Farm and they are vending there this weekend. They now have a… Continue reading Calm Cowl Finished
Happy Friday, Happy Throw
Hello Friday! If you follow me on Instagram (@nutmegknitter) you can probably guess what my FO Friday post will be about. Nate's Blanket is finished! Completing this project also means that I completed all the challenges for Camp Loopy 2014! Did you read about Loopy Academy? I've already signed up and will probably talk more… Continue reading Happy Friday, Happy Throw
Socks, Sweater yarn, and Somber Stories
One of the nice things about driving to your vacation destination is that I really didn't have to worry about space. I packed 3 projects and gave 2 of them serious attention. I started a new pair of socks for my Personal Sock Club. This yarn, Wonderfully Super from Yarntini, was picked as the sock… Continue reading Socks, Sweater yarn, and Somber Stories
