Here's the nitty-gritty: It's school vacation week. My brain is full. My knitting mojo is weak. It happens. I started working on a crochet washcloth just to have something to occupy my hands and do something creative. That seemed to have worked, because I'm now on cloth #5. This is my new "potato-chip" project, and… Continue reading Obvious Issues

Socks, a scarf, a kit and a book
I finished Stitches last week and enjoyed it, though I was left wanting a bit more. Lucky for me, my mom brought Help, Thanks, Wow to borrow (which I gave to her at Christmas). I have yet to start it; maybe I'll be able to sneak in a few pages today. I've also been reading… Continue reading Socks, a scarf, a kit and a book
Tiny Stitches
This week I picked up Stitches, by Anne Lamott. I was first introduced to her writing freshman year of college with Bird by Bird, a book that I think of often and really should reread. (I think it was a social justice class. I also read Amazing Grace in that class which was phenomenal.) I… Continue reading Tiny Stitches
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
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
September Starts with Socks
I have two shareable WIPs this week, both are socks, and both are pretty much at the same point in construction. Sock #1 of the DPH pair is ready for a heel turn. Sock #1 of Lorelai's Knee Highs is also ready for a heel turn. I am pretty sure that I will start the… Continue reading September Starts with Socks
Progress
Going for the short and sweet version today. Reading: I finished Me Before You and would totally recommend it. Impulsively I grabbed The Woman Upstairs at the library from the 7-day loan section. It's slow going, mostly because I keep stopping to re-read passages. I really like this main character. Sadly, I'm only 40 pages… Continue reading Progress
A new shawl, new book, new socks
Last week in my WIP Wednesday post, I had just downloaded a new book for the kindle. I haven't even looked at that book once because on Thursday I got the notice from the library that Me Before You was in for me to pick up. I have had trouble putting it down, it's fantastic.… Continue reading A new shawl, new book, new socks
New Project, New Book
It's Wednesday again, time for WIP Wednesday & Yarn Along! I finished up my Stripe Study (yay!) so you'll have to wait until Friday for that report. I have other secret projects I'm working on and in the "downtime" until the next Camp Loopy project starts (tomorrow! I have to get my yarn wound!) I… Continue reading New Project, New Book
Almost at the End!
I am so close to being in the final stretch of my Stripe Study shawl -colored stripe #12 to go, then on to the last grey section! I even dreamt about this shawl last night, that was a first. Garter stitch is just so soothing. The rows are getting longer, so it feels like it… Continue reading Almost at the End!
