Seriously August, slow down. I have to say that I was dreading August a bit - looking at it back in June there was a lot of empty space on the calendar, kids would be out of camp, and I knew that work would be picking up. There are a handful of days left in… Continue reading WIP Wednesday Yes Please

Rectangles Slightly Askew
In case you couldn't tell from the lack of blogging lately, August has been busy. Work has picked up, the kids were busy with assorted camps, and most recently we took a family trip to a local orchard sunflower maze, celebrated birthdays and now we're recovering from some sort of summer bug. The little knitting I have… Continue reading Rectangles Slightly Askew
A New Color Story Emerges
I have several projects that suitable to share this week. Enough work has been done on each that they are out of the blob phase. I was surprised when I pulled these projects together to see that they all sort of go together color-wise, and not one of the colors is blue! The stripey rectangle at… Continue reading A New Color Story Emerges
WIP Wednesday Something Old Something New
This week I pulled out the Rainbow Blanket for my daughter to work another color stripe and then some. Might as well work on a blanket while the air conditioner is running right? I've also got my yarn ready for two more projects! I'm in a sweet spot right now - the next Camp Loopy… Continue reading WIP Wednesday Something Old Something New
WIP Wednesday No Surprises Edition
Over the weekend I rediscovered Head to Toe: Kids Knit Accessories - there are a number of great patterns in there! As I talked about last time, I have a case of start-itis, and so I started a new project. I offered the book to my daughter to pick out a few things I could… Continue reading WIP Wednesday No Surprises Edition
Another book started and Sweater Opposites
Another week, another book, and unfortunately not because I finished The Secret Place. I would consider picking it up again at some future point, I just couldn't get through it in a week. I had also grabbed Dark Places from the library and I am really glad that I did. I loved Gone Girl and… Continue reading Another book started and Sweater Opposites
WIP Wednesday and Summer Startitis
At long last, summer has returned! Things are shaping up to be busy, but fun. After a stretch of books that I picked up but did not finish, I grabbed the Luckiest Girl Alive from the library this week. It's not exactly what I thought, I can't stand the main character, but it's got enough… Continue reading WIP Wednesday and Summer Startitis
WIP Wednesday Dark Start
This week I started my first project for the 2015 Camp Loopy. The first challenge is this: The Challenge for Project One – I Spy. When going on a Safari, you spy all kinds of cool things (animals, trees, birds, plants, etc.) What would you like to spy on your safari? Pick a yarn color… Continue reading WIP Wednesday Dark Start
WIP Wednesday Mojo Kickstart
I can't quite put my finger on the why, but my reading mojo has just not been there. The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society is interesting but takes its time, and when I have a few moments to read, what I'm reading is just ok. When I have to stop reading to switch… Continue reading WIP Wednesday Mojo Kickstart
WIP Wednesday bottom cuffs edition
This week the weather turn a beautiful turn. It was sunny and warm and even a touch of OMG, Humid! Strange to think that 2 months ago we were still surrounded by snow and ice. We almost forgot that gross feeling of humidity! Not surprisingly my blanket was put aside. The timing worked out just… Continue reading WIP Wednesday bottom cuffs edition
