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

Back At It
When life gets busy, you tend to let some things go. For me, this blog took a backseat while other items needed action. All is well, it's just been a really busy six weeks or so. Do I have anything to show for this time of distraction? Yes! I knit these Laule'a socks in Malabrigo Rios,… Continue reading Back At It
FO Friday One Ahead of Winter
Here's to not being that knitter this year who's children do not have the proper accessories for the winter season. Instead I can be that knitter that makes the kid pose in a wool hat outside in the summer. By the time winter rolls around my son will hopefully still like this hat. I really liked this… Continue reading FO Friday One Ahead of Winter
Fresh FO My Moonshine Molly
Another week, another hat! I actually finished this hat last week and wove in the ends over the weekend. This week the weather has been snowy and cold, giving me ample opportunity to work this hat into the handknit rotation (along with a good number of other handknits as documented on Instagram!). I used the… Continue reading Fresh FO My Moonshine Molly
After the Blizzard
For all the hype for "Blizzard 2015", I was happy to wake up to see snowfall amounts that were way less than forecast! We still have 15-18" of snow, shoveling to do, and the kids are going on their second day with no school. The power stayed on, the local plow guy was here early… Continue reading After the Blizzard

Last night I decided to work up a little fox mascot so I would have something to post today, for Freshly Finished Friday! You… Continue reading Foxy Friday

Last year was my first year to participate in the eat.sleep.knit Yarnathon. I was a proud member of the winning Stitchosaur Team! I didn't complete the yarnathon in my purchases but my stash was nicely enhanced, I participated in weekly trivia and a challenge or KAL each quarter, and had a fun time. I was curious… Continue reading 2015 Yarnathon
FO Friday Sunflower Tam
This week for FO Friday, I have my entry for the EatSleepKnit Yarnathon Q3 challenge. The challenge was to knit a pattern that you added to your queue or your favorites during your first year as an active Raveler. For me, that was 2007! I originally queued the Sunflower Tam on June 21, 2007. I… Continue reading FO Friday Sunflower Tam
Not a Pumpkin Head
I am pretty excited to feel the ever so slight chill in the air in the mornings. I have a drawer full of handknit socks ready to go and several hats that I can't wait to put back in to service. It does seem a bit early to me though that everywhere you turn there… Continue reading Not a Pumpkin Head

It feels like forever since I have had a Finished Object to share! And today I have not one, but two! First up, my Camp Loopy Project #1: Socks, inspired by the Wrinkle in Time series, in String Theory Colorworks Little Ghost Nebula Colorway. Mostly plain vanilla toe-up, fish lips kiss heel, with the addition… Continue reading Orange You Glad It is Friday?
