Greetings Unravelers!! I have finished my Nightshift and I am so smitten!! My ending was a bit sketchy but, I like how it turned out and I used up so much of my handspun yarn! You can read my pattern notes here where I explain my "recipe" for knitting. My goal was to...

Grey skies whose raindrops Gently caress the new leaves Teasing them to wake My daily goal is to seek out something beautiful in the tiny world around me and some days I actually succeed. Today was one of those days! The return of tiny green leaves on the bushes in my...

Time is the longest distance between two places. — Tennessee Williams, The Glass Menagerie This quote perfectly describes how the passage of time feels right now. Monday seems like it was eons ago and today does not feel like Friday at all. And topping off the already...
Unraveled Wednesday | 3.18.20
Greetings Unravelers! A couple of things are filling my mind today: how can it be Wednesday already in a week that feels like it should be Friday and How are you? No, really... How are you? I have a project that is darned near impossible to put down that is filling my...
Sometimes Monday | 3.16.20
Is time to get real. It was a quiet St. Paddy's Day weekend at my house but sadly, the same could not be said about my town! ST. PATRICK'S DAY POLICE: Pittsburgh Police said they arrested 6 people during St. Patrick's Day celebrations in the city and that one Public...
Fiber Friday…the quarantine edition
The fact that today is Friday the thirteenth is not lost on me as COVID-19 spreads its way around our neighborhoods. This is the first time I can remember that there will be no March Madness...sigh. But, I get it and I am happy that the students were more important...

She wasn't looking for a knight. She was looking for a sword. — Atticus Yesterday was International Women's Day and, imo, it should be International Women's WEEK...but I especially liked the Google Doodle for yesterday! And, speaking of amazing women...Clara Parkes...
Spring Forward Weekend!
Yes, this weekend will be one hour shorter when we turn our clocks ahead in the wee hours of Sunday morning. (or are you an entirely digital household and need to change no clocks manually?) My house is a mixture of digital and manual, so I will have a few things to...

Greetings, gentle readers! I am joining with Carole and Friends with a quick and feverish update on the rage that is taking over Blogdom thanks to our Fearless Leader: Vicki! Thing One: Every time I think of Nightshift this pops into my head... Sorry, not sorry for...
Unraveled Wednesday | 3.4.20
February Making was surprising... I finished 2 pairs of socks (First pair here)! What? I know, I shocked myself as well! February was the month of Sarah Jordan Sock Knitting and I have happy feet as a result! I also spy a few more socks on her page that I think need...
Looking Back | February 2020
In looking back at February, I am grateful it is not a longer month! However, I am appreciative of the lengthening days! In twenty-nine short days, we gained over an hour of daylight! And, there was so much more sunshine this month than in January, but we also had a...
Loving February | 2.28.20
There is always in February some one day, at least, when one smells the yet distant, but surely coming, summer. — Gertrude Jekyll That day came this week in western Pennsylvania, because on Tuesday I surely smelled a hint of summer. And as I came home from Ash...
Unraveled Wednesday | 2.26.20
Greetings Unravelers and Happy End of February!! March brings so many good things, but best of all is Mason Dixon's March Mayhem! I will be seriously contemplating all the "sock" entries! I know that yesterday I talked about planned making and socks are absolutely on...

Sometimes Monday | 2.24.20
Comes with a completed sock and a start on its mate! It also brought day three of sunshine and I don't know who is happier me or the hundreds of birds singing in my neighborhood! Sadly, it includes lots of the "regularly scheduled" Monday things as well which will...

Any time, any time while I was a slave, if one minute's freedom had been offered to me, and I had been told I must die at the end of that minute, I would have taken it. Just to stand one minute on god's earth a free woman. I would. — Elizabeth Freeman (MumBet) Black...
Unraveled Wednesday | 2.19.20
The making this week included a wee bit of sewing... one more flannel Esme Tunic, although with the weather we've been having a flannel tunic seems rather silly! However, it is my "go to wear" these days and having one more in the rotation is a good thing. I did a bit...
