Who's surprised? Not me. I can't really show you my WIP this week, as it is sample knitting. Also it needs to be finished and sent back, so I'm knitting hardcore on that! Winding the yarn does make me stop, stand up, take a stretch break from being hunched over and knitting, so that's good.… Continue reading A Pile of Yarn, Books, and Plans

Yarn Along June 18
I'm including the books I'm reading with my kids for this week's Yarn Along. My son, like most 2.5 year olds, likes repetition. We've been reading and re-reading the same books over and over and that's ok, but I wanted something different. I introduced him to Where the Wild Things Are this week, one of… Continue reading Yarn Along June 18
Finished and almost satisfied
Hooray for getting things finished! I'm now in a weird lull - I have many WIPs that are not calling to me, and other projects I want to start but that requires the effort of gathering all the supplies. Hopefully sharing the latest finished items will get that mojo moving in the right direction! First… Continue reading Finished and almost satisfied
Pushing On, Gaining Speed
I like when I get to a point in a project when I can count a reasonable amount of rows (or inches) until the end. My current sample knit for Plymouth is like that - I have another 10 rows plus an 8" section to finish the knitting on that project. It's auto-pilot knitting and… Continue reading Pushing On, Gaining Speed
FO Friday – On the TNNA Runway
For the last handful of posts I have alluded to a sample knitting job and I can finally share photos! This sweater is a Jill Wolcott Knits® design, the yarn is a gorgeous red from Red Barn Yarn paired with a red boucle in the trim. Due to a variety of circumstances, there was… Continue reading FO Friday – On the TNNA Runway
Yarn Along – February 20
I finished reading "The Kitchen Help" over the weekend. I decided to pick up Case Histories for my next read. So far I am finding it interesting and am curious to see where it goes. Right now a lot of my knitting is not for show. The green stripey blob in the picture is a… Continue reading Yarn Along – February 20
Yarn Along – Jan. 30
Someone turns into a little ham when the camera comes out. He knows to say "Cheese" and look at that casual way of posing. Like he doesn't really care if he's in the shot or not. Silly boy. Anyway, I've had a fairly productive week. I am just about at the end of Season to… Continue reading Yarn Along – Jan. 30
Yarn Along – January 23
~ 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 either on your… Continue reading Yarn Along – January 23

Charleston Tea, finished!
Just today, I put the Charleston Tea in the mail, to return home at Good Karma Farm up in Maine. I know that I have said it here before but it is worth repeating: I love this yarn! It is a new blend and weight for them, and I am hoping to purchase more at… Continue reading Charleston Tea, finished!
