Another unintentional blog break. Let's just pick up and continue on, ok? In the time since I last posted things have been quite busy. If you follow me on Instagram you'll know that we adopted a retired racing greyhound! Meet Lincoln! He has been with us for 7 weeks now, following a career spent racing… Continue reading Meet Lincoln

January 18 Yarn Along and A Hexagon
I love unexpected rainbows! I've decided to try a project that may or may not end up being a year-long project. One of the KALs for the Eat.Sleep.Knit yarnathon is the Persian Dreams blanket. I think it is a beautiful pattern, but I really don't know if I have it in me to make the whole… Continue reading January 18 Yarn Along and A Hexagon
So it’s summer
Don't let my lack of posting fool you. There's no summer slide here! It's just that the project I've been devoting the most time to is a sample project. For now, that is staying under wraps. I have been working on my Stolen Moments socks. I managed to turn a heel when I took them… Continue reading So it’s summer
Interestings
So I've been reading and knitting and crocheting and not posting about it! I have two works in progress to share this week and one book. I started on the first Nalu Mitt back in April, and I cannot recall what other project distracted me from them. They are relatively quick and intuitive once you… Continue reading Interestings
A Fraction of Danger
This week I started on "Ways to Disappear" and it is moving much faster than I anticipated. The story is light yet intriguing and I am curious to see where it will go. My knitting is a bit blobby, but I am at the middle section of the Fractal Danger pattern. I finally had… Continue reading A Fraction of Danger
First Finishes & Spiral Cowl WIP
I'm feeling pretty good about the knits this week. I have my first FO of 2016, a pair of Cindersmoke Mittens! So often I knit out of season, but it's been very cold waiting for the bus with the kids and there's a big snow storm coming (do you have your bread and milk stockpiled?).… Continue reading First Finishes & Spiral Cowl WIP
Nutmegknitter Recap | Vogue Knitting Live NYC
I love going to New York City! Each time really feels like an adventure - I take the train in to Grand Central Terminal, and when you walk through the terminal and then out on to 42nd street it feels like you've landed on a completely different planet. This was my first time to attend… Continue reading Nutmegknitter Recap | Vogue Knitting Live NYC
Music on My Mind
Hello March! It came in like a lion that's for sure - there's another 5 inches of snow outside this morning! Yesterday I did a bit of knitting in public while I was at my daughter's Irish Dance recital. An afternoon of jigs, reels, hornpipe and hard-shoe stomping makes you want to get moving. My… Continue reading Music on My Mind
Mitten Progress and more
I can say it was a very good Christmas. The people with whom I spent time, the presents exchanged, and the food were all so wonderful. My mind feels just so full with plans, ideas, and thoughts... hopefully after cleaning up a bit and getting some work done I will be able to recharge with… Continue reading Mitten Progress and more
WIP Blobs with a side of Turkey
I make a strong effort to blog each week. Having the link parties like WIP Wednesday, FO Friday (those ones haven't been active in a while - I wonder what's up?), Creative Friday, and Yarn Along are all wonderful motivators. I want to join in and see what everyone is up to. I have found… Continue reading WIP Blobs with a side of Turkey
