Round and round and round, and the knitting grows. Slowly, but it does grow! I also cast on Nymphalidea yesterday. I had a ball of Zauberball and some Lorna's Lace sock yarn that are perfect for it. I have memorized the super easy pattern, and this will be come my...

Recently, Kym shared some excellent inspiration about checking in on your year. These were excellent reminders for me and have me thinking about some needed "course corrections" to move me back on track. It is funny how easy it is to think you are on track but when...

Greetings, Unravelers and Happy September! I have a finished Strokkur to share with you today however, I think it will be some time before I am wearing this sweater! I loved the construction of this sweater – it had two segments of short rows before and after the...

I love the process of hand washing woolens. And, this morning my woolen mediations include the hope that this unbearable humidity breaks soon! And, yes I confess – I am longing for cool mornings that require a sweater! Happy Tuesday everyone! Stay cool!
What I did on my summer vacation…
…or, my five-ish best reads of the summer! For me, this was truly the Summer of Reading (Thank you, Mary for organizing another amazing Summer Book Bingo!) This summer hearkened back to the days of my childhood and the joy and excitement that was summer reading....

Houston… we have colorwork!! Yes, I am on the downhill portion of my Strokkur and my favorite part! I feel safe in saying that this sweater will be done next week! This despite the realization that I did too many decreases in the short-row section - I should have done...

It's a 2-fer Friday! I finished up my AC-esque tee yesterday, I also finished weaving in the ends of last years End of Summer MKAL and I love them both! I learned so much in the construction of this tee and I absolutely want to do this again! One thing I know for sure...
Currently: Waning August
I don't remember when the last time I have done a "currents" post (I looked, and it was May) and with Carole away on vacation it seemed the perfect day to do one! Waning August is heavy on my mind. Things look tired in my yard… spent…done, perhaps even overdone! It is...

In the ongoing reorganization of all things crafty in my house, I found several languishing projects that needed to be prioritized for finishing. Sometimes the best way to hold myself accountable is to post it here, out in the open for all to see. This gives me the...
Zipper Tales
On Wednesday, I headed off to JoAnn's to find a separating zipper and a "Knit Picker", the zipper I found but the knit picker? No luck there, but I did find these needles with a latching eye. I thought they would work better, especially since I could not get this...
