This weekend the hubs and I got the chance to have a mini-vacation. 24 hours away was a welcome change of pace. We drove up to Worcester (wuss-tah), MA to catch Alton Brown's Edible Inevitable Tour with friends. Of course I brought my knitting, my Personal Sock Club - February Edition socks. These socks are… Continue reading Not out of place

In Progress
I've started a new project, a true Ravellenics project to boot, as it needs to be done by the end of February! This cake is a new yarn from Good Karma Farm (3ply, sport-weight) that will be knit into a Beach Street Park sweater. I had some trouble getting the color right in the photo… Continue reading In Progress
First WIP
Over the weekend, my daughter asked if I would show her how to knit. We have been reading Annie and the Swiss Cheese scarf for months now, and she received a Hello Kitty Scarf Kit for Christmas. Ok, why not? So we sat down and I cast on for her. The first row I knit… Continue reading First WIP
Blurry blobby bits
This week has been full and on the go. This photo (from my Instagram) sums it up well enough. I've had one kid (on the left) be a bit whiny, but that seems to be improving. He is the epitome of being 2. The other kid (you can see part of her leg on the… Continue reading Blurry blobby bits
Try and Try Again
I'm pretty pleased with my progress on the projects this week, even if one in the picture was a do-over. The brown fuzzy blob is the Cody Cardi (two balls in, I've made it to the 2nd buttonhole) and it continues to be fuzzy. And it sheds. I am a dog lover but my dog… Continue reading Try and Try Again
Of Classes, Cats and Dogs
This week I have been working on the Cody Cardigan, a specially requested HeartCat, a pair of socks, and the Once Upon a Time Sampler. I like having a variety of projects as it stretches my hand muscles in different ways and keeps my attention. I am expecting to get moving on a few other… Continue reading Of Classes, Cats and Dogs
Warm Fuzzies
We're finally back to a mostly normal routine. People working where they should, school is in session, and yet I cannot keep track of what day of the week it is. Figures. Maybe it is the cold weather. It has been absolutely frigid. Cold fingers don't knit very fast, but I have been working on… Continue reading Warm Fuzzies
Personal Sock Club
Once I gained a bit of confidence in my knitting, I tried socks. I can remember sitting in my bedroom surrounded by printouts from the internet of how to knit a sock on double points. I held those pointy tips so close to my eyes I am pretty lucky I didn't hurt myself when I… Continue reading Personal Sock Club
At the end
Hello Monday! We're still in vacation mode (minus a dentist appointment later today). This is a highly enjoyable change of pace. I think the kids have settled in to the "at home" routine, and calmed down a bit from the excitement of last week. Over the weekend I caught up on a few podcasts and… Continue reading At the end
Enjoyable WIPs
Is it fair to show a WIP that is now finished? If you follow me on pretty much any other social media channel, I posted about how I started a hat over the weekend, and couldn't stop working on it! It's done, washed, and is drying now. I hope I will be able to… Continue reading Enjoyable WIPs
