A little over a month ago, my husband and I learned that one of my family members has a terminal cancer diagnosis. As we don’t live nearby and due to Covid can’t even visit (literally probably can’t get there – definitely can’t in any helpful way thanks to quarantine rules),… Read More »A Last Project for a Very Knit Worthy Person
After two weeks of project monogamy, the rebound has hit me hard. It’s not so much startitis (though I did start one new project) as bouncing between various things I had going already. I worked away at my Pollen Gold fiber, finishing up the last of the singles and getting half… Read More »Rebound Projects
I finished the modified Päivätär Socks yesterday evening. I didn’t quite make it in my two week goal, as Friday was day 15. But really, I think that was pretty good. I had a very busy work week and TheEnabler and I had some other chores to handle over the… Read More »15 days and One Pair of Socks Later
But I’ve been busy knitting. Well, and working. Work is getting pretty busy too… So two Mondays ago (whoops! where did the time go?) my Stephen & Penelope yarn package arrived with wooly goodness: I’m thrilled with how the orange and magenta go together, so these are what I’m going… Read More »A bit behind on posting
Just a quick post tonight before I hop on our Friday night family Zoom call: I’ve picked my “Oppositional” top back up and I’ve finished the central blue/green reverse stockinette section. I did some short rows and some gentle decreases towards the waist after the bust – not super form… Read More »Friday Flash Post
Well, Maybe a day too late? We have had some proper winter weather this week – several inches of snow built up over several days of regular snowfall and unusually cold temps for this part of the world. Depending on your preference, our lows at night are in the teens… Read More »Finished just in Time
I set aside my cardigan at the end of the week to pick up the Through the Trees cowl again. The weather is more consistently cold, and I thought it might be nice if TheEnabler was able to wear his cowl this winter. The lace was starting to feel a… Read More »Light Through the Trees
Sorry for being a bit radio silent for the past week! I really have no good excuse lined up this time… My fingers have not been idle though – they just haven’t been typing blog posts. I’ve been working away at my Oppositional top and I’ve made it to the… Read More »An Unpopular Opinion
I think many of us have fantasies about being somebody we aren’t, or certainly we did as children*. Whether ballerina, astronaut, or dinosaur, we all had make-pretend. My brother justified his toddler-biting-people phase with the explanation that he was a crocodile. Or maybe it was an alligator. My sister was… Read More »Badass or Total Dork?
Friday night my sliced finger was sufficiently healed that I was able to switch from a giant gauze wrapped finger which, even as it was less tender, got in the way of knitting, to one wrapped in a normal (if slightly large) bandaid. And thus, I could recommence knitting. Thank… Read More »Knitting again
