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...
Re-entry and Withdrawals
Re-entry is really no fun and coupled with Genevieve withdrawals today is going to be a challenge! Grocery shopping is on the top of my list today – we ate out a lot and are craving some home-cooked meals! Also, cream for the coffee is a necessity! But, for one last...
Unraveled Wednesday | 10.3.18
Welcome to the Vacation Unraveled where there is not much making of anything but memories going on! The vacation knitting has slowed considerably, but I did start a vacation sock. This was to be my 'car knitting' but I am carrying it with me everywhere! Monday there...
TGIF | 9.28.18
Happy Friday, everyone! We made it through another week and while my list is not entirely finished this morning (I hope yours is!), I am confident that it will be done by the days end! And, so with that list in hand, I am doing a TGIF post today – sans links…and I am...
Thursday Thoughts
Asking women why they didn't report their sexual assault right away is akin to asking someone why they didn't report their own kidnapping - Aparna Nancherla Today, my thoughts are with Dr. Christine Basley Ford as she testifies before the Senate Judiciary Committee...

And, with that – September is practically over – and at warp speed, too! My knitting this week has been focused on blanket layout and assembly. Holy pick up a million stitches, Knitters! Yeah…and then there will be the ends to weave in. I decided not to fuss around...

Familiar stitches Fascinating history Make rain bearable Happy Tuesday, everyone! If your corner of the world is rain-filled, stay dry!
Goodbye Summer, Hello Autumn
Almost as if a switch was flipped, the temperature on Friday went from almost 90 to the 50's overnight ushering in a most autumnal-like weekend. And, the weather man has said we won't be seeing anymore 80-degree days until next year. That means just one thing, Gentle...
Countdown Friday’s
Why is it that approaching vacation time equals diminishing brain function? Or am I the only person experiencing this phenomenon? And, it seems all things are conspiring to remind me that vacation is coming! Airbnb sent a reminder this morning… just in case I was not...

It is not enough to be busy. So are the ants. The question is: What are we busy about? Henry David Thoreau This week it is all about redefining busy. Thing One: Thanks to Kym, I am focusing on looking at the busyness in my life and I am well into week two of The Busy...

The knitting this week is slow and easy but sadly, I am not at all closer to that 15" mark on Tegna (which, in light of Lene unknitting and then finishing her sweater dress, I think I should be highly embarrassed by this fact!) However, I pinned out the 15" length on...
Tuesday’s are for poetry | 9.18.18
I have been trying to up my poetry reading this year and this month brings me to the poetry of Michael Longley – a very prolific poet and I am fortunate that my library has a collection of his works. It has been fascinating to read bits and pieces of his work each...
On a Random Monday | 9.17.18
The Sedum is just gorgeous this year and I caught this lovely little bee in my photos last week. Summer was full on again over the weekend, which I will count as a blessing especially with the rain we are having today. But, for all the summer weather it was a weekend...
Fiber Friday | 9.14.18
And just like that, another week draws to a close. Is it just me, or does this month seem to be moving a warp speed?? I think I have finally found the reason to have multiple projects going at once… yes, it's true! I knit a few more rounds on my Stripey sweater and...

I had a moment of panic this morning when I looked at the calendar and realized that we are almost midway though September! Here are some of the things that are on my list this week! Thing One: The summer months were so wonderful, and the extended daylight made it so...
Unraveled Wednesday | 9.12.18
This week, the knitting is creative. All those pretty colors will become a stripey sweater! Yes, I did some knitty maths and then just started knitting. We shall see how this will work out! Sadly, I think I have a bit of unraveling to do… the beige yarn is not...
Tiny Moments | 9.11.18
I have gotten some of the squares in for our blankets! They look AMAZING! And, so the laying out plans have begun. The perfect task on a day of contemplation.
