Unraveled Wednesday | 11.20.19
Late November unraveling feels a bit frantic; do you agree? I have a pair of socks I'd like to finish for a Christmas gift… this from the person who might just be the slowest sock knitter in the Northern Hemisphere. I don't even have a HO (and that damned clock is...
Sometimes Monday | 11.18.19
Includes some "carry-over" items from last week's list. I had hoped to get a Gnome stared and Thanksgiving is now looming large! But, my yarn is all set and I've moved it up on the list, so it gets started AND completed! I had hoped to get Christmas lights out…...

You can't promote principled anti-corruption action without pissing off corrupt people. – George P. Kent, Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs In my opinion, this was the best quote of the week. Bravo to Mr. Kent for saying it and it...
Unraveled Wednesday | 11.13.19
Greetings Unravelers and Happy Wednesday! I finished my Baby Velvet knitting binge with a bang – one final pint-sized cowl so Vivi can match her mom! (I think it might be a little big, but it will absolutely work!) Details for my modifications are here. I got to the...
Sometimes Monday | 11.11.19
…is for remembering. It is a long weekend in my house and usually long weekends are all about, well… the weekend and extending it one more day. Today, however, I will spend some time contemplating all those have served (and are serving) so that I can enjoy a long...
TGIF | 11.8.19
I am really trying to ignore how rapidly the days are racing past. However, doing that with any success has been an abject failure. I did, however, finish Rachel's Velvet-y Cowl last night. I have more than enough yarn left to make a "Mini-Velvet-y Cowl" for Vivi, so...
Looking Back | October 2019
October is the fallen leaf, but it is also a wider horizon more clearly seen. It is the distant hills once more in sight, and the enduring constellations above them once again. — Hal Borland My October images had a clear pattern of almost daily...
Unraveled Wednesday | 11.6.19
My "regularly scheduled knitting" has been preempted by some fast and furious gift knitting. That's right, I have been doing some very "not me" knitting for my girls who love to get knitted gifts, yet often complain about woolen scratchiness. Nothing scratchy about...
Sometimes Monday | 11.4.19
Who besides me feels a bit off kilter on this post-time change Monday? My list is not off kilter at all though and here is what I have percolating this week: I don't know how this crossed my path on Friday, but it did and Saturday morning I headed to JoAnn's to...
Hello, November
The month of November makes me feel that life is passing more quickly. In an effort to slow it down, I try to fill the hours more meaningfully. – Henry Rollins November brings bare trees, windy days, and yes – grey skies (which is exactly what greeted me this...
A Very Halloween 3 on Thursday
I am linking up with Carole to share three very literary things that crossed my desk top this morning – perfect for Halloween! Thing One: Benjamin Percy reading Goodnight Moon might be the best thing ever… Thing Two: I am eagerly anticipating The Dublin Murders ...
Unraveled Wednesday | 10.30.19
Greetings Unravelers! October is easing out incredibly here in Western Pennsylvania. The days have warmed beautifully with the glorious sunshine we have had. October will end for us with temps rising into the 70's, which is such a blessing. Of course, tomorrow we have...
Autumnal Focus | October 2019
Happily joining Juliann to share how I did with focus in October! Maintaining my focus has become part of me – it is something that I think about each day and life is absolutely improved because of it. I have never had such amazing success with a word, and it is...
Sometimes Monday | 10.28.19
...is for new beginnings! Late yesterday afternoon, I began the rhythmic process of carefully winding a skein of yarn and last night I began swatching for my Evening Dew Cardigan. I think I earned some good knitting Karma as well, because I appear to be getting gauge...
TGIF | 10.25.19
By this time next week, it will be November and I am quite shocked by that. We have had such incredibly wonderful temperatures – warming beautifully during the day with only a couple nights with very light frosts. If I could order up the weather – it might just be...
Unraveled Wednesday | 10.23.19
There has been little knitting here this week, which shocks me! Silly me imagined that seaming my friend's sweater would be something I would complete quickly! Reality was that it took much longer than I anticipated and there was no time left to bake anything on...
Mid-October Weekending
I am so glad that I live in a world where there are Octobers. – L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables It was a perfect October weekend. One that included a trip to our farmer's market, glorious blue skies, and yes – even a pumpkin donut! I also made a big pot of chili...
TGIF | 10.18.19
And, just like that it is suddenly Friday yet again. I don't know about you, but the later it gets in the year – the faster the weeks seem to go! This was absolutely one of those whirlwind weeks and I am very ready for the weekend to commence… it is absolutely a day...
