Make it Monday | 8.27.18
This weekend was truly the stuff of dreams. Steve had a work function, so he was gone until Sunday, which meant I did what I wanted all weekend long! There was so much reading! I am three books away from a second cover all…. Yes, you read that correctly! I am focused...
Fiber Friday | 8.24.18
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...
Unraveled Wednesday | 8.22.18
The knitting is moving along nicely, and I should have a blocked and finished object to share with you later this week. Because: High humidity + wet wool = slow drying! Yes!! I have finished Laura Aylor's 2017 Summer's End MKAL and I love it! Stay tuned for glamor...
Tiny Moments | 8.21.18
A series of tiny scissor snips and brilliance is revealed. I do like the texture, Vicki! Sometimes, the process of creation is slow-going and experimental. I am thinking that a few appliqued stars will improve the plain back. Then, some Cretan Stitch practice…
Make It Monday | 8.20.18
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...
The Power of Words
My triumvirate today is all about the power of the written word. Thing One: Last week The Boston Globe sent out the call and today, approximately 350 newspaper have answered by publishing editorials in support of a free press, decrying the Orange Ogre's attacks...
Unraveled Wednesday | 8.15.18
Greetings, Unravelers! I scratched the cast-on itch yesterday when I started Tegna. I am not quite out of the danger zone yet though! I don't think I twisted my cast on, but I am not certain yet… And, honestly?? I might cry if I did, because you cast on 10 million...
Tiny Moment Tuesday | 8.14.18
It seems unreal to me that August is almost halfway over. The big bees seem to know though and this morning I woke to find the first overnight guest of the season. Yes, this large bee spent the night in the butterfly bush and, even though I am trying desperately to...
Sometimes Monday | 8.13.18
Are for making. My list today includes more Cherry Tomato Jam, some Peach Jam, and a Plum tart. Also, that Basil infused cocktail from Friday got very high marks! I based it on this recipe. It was bright and refreshing. Changes I made: I used regular vodka (not citrus...
Fiber Friday | 8.10.18
There is a part of me that is entirely ready for the neighborhood kids to all be back in school… really.badly. However, that will mean that summer is ending. Yeah, the inner debate is most interesting, let me tell you! Ha! BUT!!! I am so excited to do a little test...
Three on Thursday | 8.9.18
Happy Thursday everyone! (and it is especially happy here! Yesterday, the post office delivered the loveliest of packages for me! Last month, Bridget had a fun Christmas in July Give Away on her blog and I was one of the lucky recipients! It is almost as if this...

Greetings, Unravelers! I have a finished object to share with you all today! That's right…Kirsten Kapur's Summer Mystery Shawl is finished, and she is gorgeous! I really love how it turned out, and I knit the extended version of the shawl. Six weeks of clues, and yes…...
Tiny Moment Tuesday | 8.7.18
The luxury of having an indulgent morning is really quite lovely. It almost outweighs the condition of my hands and nails when August arrives each year. Yes, all the weeding, digging, cultivating, and watering are taking their toll on my hands and nails. Sitting still...
Just Another Manic Monday?
Except, I am not at all wishing it was Sunday again! Yes, it's that time of the year when it seems the weekend is almost all work! Take this weekend for example: After picking 5 lbs. of cherry tomatoes over 2 days, I knew Tomato Jam time had arrived. And, yes, that...
Fiber Friday | 8.3.18
I don't know about you, but I am having a really hard time with the reality that it is August…my brain doth protests much and seems to be stuck in July. However, yesterday when I posted about a Blanket for Annie… I had hoped that I might get a few knitters who wanted...
Three on Thursday | 8.2.18
All the making makes me happy! Thing One: T-shirt Dress Number One is almost done!! But wait!! I am contemplating a second t-shirt dress to wear to the Empire Hops Festival. I just need to find the perfect skirt for it. Thing Two: The second dress for Genevieve is...
