Thoughts for a Monday | 2.7.22
We are just one week into February... how then does it feel like that week had way more than 7 days. Is it just me or does it feel like it should be the 17th of February? I don't think this bodes well for the remainder of my month! Haha! What have I been doing in the...
Friday Finds | 2.4.22
Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world. — Nelson Mandela It is Black History Month and in these days of an outrageous number of people wanting far too many books removed from libraries, I thought a good place to start this month is...
Unraveled Wednesday | 2.2.22
This is what a ball of yarn looks like after you have cast on, knit a bit and ripped out every stitch... not once but twice. Confession time: I put the ball of yarn in a bag with the pattern and needles and have not looked at it since last weekend – save to take the...
Monday Poetry | 1.31.22
It seems fitting that for this final Monday in January that I close out the month with some poetry and this poem by Linda Pastan seems perfect for today! I think many on the east coast will be nodding their heads at Linda's imagery! I hope this Monday finds you all...
To Whom It May Concern | 1.28.22
It's been a wintry week here in Pittsburgh... bitterly cold temperatures - which meant we had some sunshine! A knitter does not cry over cold... we have sweaters, hats, mittens, cowls, scarves... cold weather is every knitters dream! You know... the days you can...
Unraveled Wednesday | 1.26.22
Whoosh...... That, my. friends, is the sound of January racing out the door! Who besides me is shocked at how rapidly the "longest month of winter" raced by? And we are on the cusp of the shortest month of winter, so my expectation is that in... oh, 5 minutes or so we...
And so it begins | January 2022
Fill your bowl to the brim and it will spill. Keep sharpening your knife and it will blunt. — Lao Tzu My process of unpacking full.... has been full of defining - thinking - and writing. I really love full as an adjective: not lacking or omitting anything;...
TGIF | 1.21.22
Today I have a bunch of random things to share and I am making them fit TGIF. I think it works. And so let's get started! Teaching (myself?): Last year, I mentioned that I had some socks in need of some mending... well, the number has grown since then. How is it...
Unraveled Wednesday | 1.19.22
Greetings from the Great White (not so) North! Yes, we got a good bit of snow over the long weekend and there is more in the forecast. I am my most happiest wintery self! I just love the snow (must be that December birthday!) and I am thrilled that more is on the way....
Thoughts to get through Monday | 1.17.22
We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope. — Martin Luther King Jr. This is the quote I wrote in my calendar to greet me this morning. An excellent reminder when the finite disappointment seems more like endless disappointment and I have lost...
Museum of Me | January 2022
I thought it might be fun to join Kym once a month and invite you all to an exhibit of My Museum... and then I saw January's prompt: Something you were really good at as a child (either something you still do — or something you “grew out of” doing) Hello fun... come...
Unraveled Wednesday | 1.12.22
January is somehow just racing on and honestly, I am shocked today is the 12th! How is that possible? I have been doing lots of spinning and loving every single second of it! I have just two bits of fiber to spin from my Base12 Advent Spin. Seriously, this is...
Thoughts to get through Monday | 1.10.22
(And the necessary beverage to help! Ha!!) In my household, we have finally gotten past the "Holiday Weeks" that encompass the end of the year and generally spill into the New Year. Today is the first "normal Monday" I have had in a while and it feels so good! We had...
Currently | 1.7.22
In December, as I began thinking about my word for this year... one of the things that I also spent some time contemplating was this blog. I thought long and hard about its future and I determined that I still had things to share, contributions to make, and,...
Unraveled Wednesday | 1.5.22
Happy New Year, Dear Unravelers! In the "Dead Zone" that is the week between Christmas and New Years I did some "retail therapy" with Miss Babs. Why, you ask, could I need more yarn?!? Well, suffice it that it felt right and so I did it! My year of making is going to...
On my way to full | 1.3.22
Early in 2021... when I really wanted to bail on release...I began to ponder a new word and have had a bit of a running list for most of 2021. Despite adding words to my list, I persevered with release but once the 4th quarter arrived I began thinking in earnest about...
Unraveled Wednesday | 12.29.21
First... my final finish for 2021... Leave Gnome Stone Unturned... aka Gnombleberry and baby Gnewt! Now onto my Year in Review Post! Ha! It has been a much calmer year for making. I did not feel any compelling urge to knit.all.the.things. And although I do still have...
Release | December 2021
I spent December as I began the year...in a struggle with this word. But rather than the struggle of unpacking what needed to be released, the struggle this month is in the packing away of release. Because I think release is not a word I can just pack away and move on...
