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
Yarn Along January 11 and WIPs
What I'm Reading I have noticed that my reading comes in spurts, mostly in the winter and summer. My Goodreads 2017 Reading Challenge is set a bit higher for the coming year. I've already finished one book, I Let You Go, and have moved on to And Every Morning the Way Home is Longer and… Continue reading Yarn Along January 11 and WIPs
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
A New Perspective on Socks & Sugar
My knitting this week is a bit tricky to photograph. It is a pair of socks, worked two-at-a-time, to fulfill the 2nd semester assignment of Loopy Academy. The assignment is to make a pair of socks: A pair of socks, toe-up or cuff-down, whichever you are least familiar with. If you are equally familiar with… Continue reading A New Perspective on Socks & Sugar
Socks and stripes and a scarf-wearing penguin
I worked on a lot of projects and did a bit of reading last week, thanks in part to Winter Storm Jonas. We ended up with over a foot of snow, currently melting away, but when it was here the whole family did get out in it. I am pleased to report that several handknits… Continue reading Socks and stripes and a scarf-wearing penguin
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
New Books and New Projects
Reading wise, I'm still working my way through Mary Poppins and still think she's a tough cookie! We had a small trip last week and picked up a Junie B. Jones audio book for the car ride. Last summer we listened to a few of the stories in the car and both kids liked them,… Continue reading New Books and New Projects
Poppins and Plans
I am this close --><-- to having my current sample knitting project finished so that has had all my focus for my knitting time this week. We could also talk about how I noticed an uncrossed cable that I tried to drop back to fix, and how in doing that I made it worse and… Continue reading Poppins and Plans
