Hello! Merry Christmas! Hopefully you had a lovely holiday season, I feel very lucky to say that I did. Among all the events (and noise, oh the noise) there was a lot of love and laughter. I love Christmas, I do, but I also love the days after it all to recover and be lazy.… Continue reading Back to the blog

Stripes and blobs
My weekly pile of projects! It's relatively small this week, as the bulk of my time was spent on my 30 Day Sweater Challenge (and then, ripping it out). I worked on the dinosaur tummy panel during a meeting, and his tail was started during a car ride. The stripey socks have the heel flaps… Continue reading Stripes and blobs
Weekend and Crushes
How was your weekend? I really enjoyed mine - Saturday was full of swim lessons (and a Hello! to Heather, fellow knitter!), rediscovering a hibernating project, podcasts, watching Fiber Factor, dinner out, and a fire in the new fire bowl. Sunday involved a whirlwind trip to New York to see "Book of Mormon" with my… Continue reading Weekend and Crushes
Teal and Violet
Here's hoping this is the day when things turn around. The new school and work routines are still in progress. My WIPs are somewhat under control (after I wind up a lot more yarn today), and I've been finishing things too! First up is a project for my niece. I saw the pattern for these… Continue reading Teal and Violet
September Starts with Socks
I have two shareable WIPs this week, both are socks, and both are pretty much at the same point in construction. Sock #1 of the DPH pair is ready for a heel turn. Sock #1 of Lorelai's Knee Highs is also ready for a heel turn. I am pretty sure that I will start the… Continue reading September Starts with Socks
Fiddly WIPs
It's the Wednesday before school starts and life is fiddly. We are getting ready for the start of Kindergarten for the Lorax and early preschool for the Nutmeg. I have what feels like a million things going on in my head (label this, read that, pay attention to this schedule, wait! who needs shoes /… Continue reading Fiddly WIPs
Shawl, Socks and a Dino WIP
We're in the back-to-school-prep-zone this week. Why do I want to start a million new projects (not necessarily knitting or crochet related) when I know there is only so much time in the day? A new school year feels like a fresh start, even if I am not the student anymore. In between party prep,… Continue reading Shawl, Socks and a Dino WIP
Socks and a Birthday
This may be the turning of the tide! I finished the socks for the Lorax this week. I held back from outright giving them to her mostly out of fear that she would balk at the idea, so I just left them on the table. She found them and brought them over to me, "Here… Continue reading Socks and a Birthday
Progress
Going for the short and sweet version today. Reading: I finished Me Before You and would totally recommend it. Impulsively I grabbed The Woman Upstairs at the library from the 7-day loan section. It's slow going, mostly because I keep stopping to re-read passages. I really like this main character. Sadly, I'm only 40 pages… Continue reading Progress
A new shawl, new book, new socks
Last week in my WIP Wednesday post, I had just downloaded a new book for the kindle. I haven't even looked at that book once because on Thursday I got the notice from the library that Me Before You was in for me to pick up. I have had trouble putting it down, it's fantastic.… Continue reading A new shawl, new book, new socks
