WIP Wednesday – a bit of everything
Instagram has captured what I have worked on this week. I finally cleared out my garden beds. After a not-so-successful garden last year (the weeds won), I left everything there over the winter. I figure it gives a little bit back to the soil. This year, with the sole exception of green beans, we're going… Continue reading WIP Wednesday – a bit of everything
WIP Wednesday – Ombre Coffee
I've been really pushing myself on my Morning Coffee sweater. I would like to be able to wear it a few times before fall! The body needs one more inch or so and then several inches of ribbing. I should be able to start the sleeves next week! Except for the first skein which was… Continue reading WIP Wednesday – Ombre Coffee
Too much stuff – Yarn Along & WIP Wednesday
Let's just sum up by saying I have a lot of stuff. I have a lot of projects going on, I have to keep track of a lot of details for my work, my home & family. I may be reaching a tipping point. Today I started the washing machine and left the top open;… Continue reading Too much stuff – Yarn Along & WIP Wednesday

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!
Feels Good
Way back in early 2010 I started to knit a sweater. It was a test knit and I managed to get all the pieces knit, and I even found buttons. When I started to seam it up, I encountered major shoulder issues. There should have been a bit of cute puff on the shoulder, but… Continue reading Feels Good
Gemini
I knit and knit and knit and truly intended to have my Gemini sweater finished to wear to TNNA. I was successful in getting all the knitting done on the Thursday before I left. However, in true gemini form, I could not bring myself to weave in the ends and actually finish this project in… Continue reading Gemini
A little of this and that
It's been something like 2 weeks since I posted! What's been going on? Well, the Lorax started driving...Ok, not really. I finished a sweater, for real - for me! Iced by Carol Feller (one of my favorite designers). I wanted something cozy that I could wear around the house - something that I could toss… Continue reading A little of this and that
Packing Paralysis
Today I have been trying to get packed and ready for the Knitter's Review Retreat - a weekend full of yarn and knitting! A packing occasion for which it is perfectly acceptable for me to bring "ALL the yarns" and yet I still can't decide. What do I want to work on while I am… Continue reading Packing Paralysis
