Sometimes Monday | 11.5.18
Are filled with persistence....like the last roses from my garden. These blooms have persisted despite few frosts! And, they are a good reminder to me… don't give up – persistence wins! P.S. I won't be here tomorrow – I am putting in a 14.5-hour stint as a poll...
TGIF | 11.2.18
It has been one of those weeks, Gentle Reader. One in which you realize just how vital small pieces of technology are… This week, the watchOS update bricked my (brand new!!) Apple Watch and my naked wrist is a constant reminder of something not quite right. I miss its...
Three on Thursday | 11.1.18
Happy November!! Or should I say NaKniSweMo!?! Or for those participating – NaBloPoMo?!? That's right… I am taking the "easy" way out this month. Queue up a nice relaxed Knit a Sweater Month! Today I am sharing things you can s-l-o-w down and do this month! Thing One:...
Unraveled Wednesday | 10.31.18
Into every knitter's life some unraveling eventually happens. This week is my turn and yes, by the end of day – my Tegna will be all unraveled. Sigh. I love this yarn… very much. And, I love the idea of Tegna, but the more I knit, the more uncertainty crept in about...
Sometimes Tuesday’s…
...have lots of choices. ADVENTurer planning is underway! What's on your list today?
Pittsburgh Strong
I would love to tell you what an awesome weekend it was, but sadly, it was not. The horrific events of Saturday have scarred this city, and most especially the community of Squirrel Hill. My heart aches for the eleven lives that were brutally ended as they worshiped...
TGIF | 10.26.18
By this time next week, it will be November! How is that even possible? My focus for the remainder of 2018 is to slow down and savor these days. Thinking About – Trees. Yes, that's right, trees. I am almost done with The Overstory, and I think this might be the most...
Three on Thursday | 10.25.18
Last week, Mary asked the best question: "What surprising things are you Saying Yes to right now?" This got me thinking… lots! Because there are some things that I recently have said yes to with great joy! Thing One: I am saying yes to a bit of Michelle GD as this...
Unraveled Wednesday | 10.24.18
Greetings, Unravelers! Happy Wednesday to you! This week the knitting has been focused…and the result is a finished blanket! Things I learned: Applied i-cord must be knit with a larger needle than you think…I should have done a practice square. The blanket is...
Long Weekending | 10.23.18
On a weekend where almost everyone was at Rhinebeck and yours truly was sadly not! The best thing to clear out those "I wish I was there blues" is to do something fun and this was indeed a weekend of fun here in Western PA! Friday Happy Hour was the perfect kick off,...
TGIF | 10.19.18
Houston…we have applied icord!! It was a very rocky start, but I figured it out and have been buzzing right along with it. I have about half of blanket one to do yet, but I am feeling great success!! Woo hoo! Thinking About – The Instagram conundrum… why do I see all...
Three on Thursday | 10.18.18
My things today are all NEW things we did in Michigan! (Or what not to miss when you visit Traverse City!) Thing One: The weather precluded us heading out to Sleeping Bear Dunes, but that might be a good thing. It forced us to discover the TART...
Unraveled Wednesday | 10.17.18
There has been no unraveling at all (thank goodness!!) Which is doubly good since Julia Farwell-Clay posted this most timely Instagram post… YES, I am picking up the stitches correctly! However, I am MUCH slower than she is! I need to learn that yarn management thing...
Tuesdays are for Poetry | 10.16.18
I started reading The Overstory yesterday. It opens with a selection of poetry and this poem by Bill Niedjie struck me…deeply. I hope it moves you as well. Tree… he watching you. You look at tree, he listen to you. He got no finger, he can't speak. But that leaf…. he...
Weekending | 10.15.18
Happy Monday, Gentle Readers! Fall arrived in the 'Burgh over the weekend… crisp days, very cool evenings, and yes, someone caved and turned on the heat but it was not me! And, my advice of putting on long pants versus shorts fell on deaf ears... It was a weekend full...
TGIF, with a small side of links
Ahhh, Friday! Thinking About – As I am carefully assembling the blankets – I have been thinking about the two people I will send them to. One I know, one I do not but, as I have been joining each square I have been thinking about their struggle as they battle their...
Three on Thursday | 10.11.18
Is it just me or does it seem like this week is moving a warp speed? My list is not long but it does not seem like I am making any dents at all! I have no cohesive things this week, like my list – random, rambling, and disjointed! Thing One: I think I "caught"...
Unraveled Wednesday | 10.10.18
Greetings Unravelers and Happy Wednesday! Today is all about catching up with my knitting, which will be especially welcome after doing grocery shopping, laundry, and cooking yesterday! That is after a long walk and some Pilates - vacations are great for lots of...
