Unraveled Wednesday | 8.1.18
Hello, Unravelers! Knitting marches on and I am to the amazing and incredible bind-off of KK's MKAL. I love it, but it is the epitome of slow however, there is a lovely rhythm to it. I should have a photo to share of the finished and blocked shawl next week sometime....
Tiny Moment Tuesday | 7.31.18
My list is much shorter today than yesterday. Yesterday, I cut out all the things. I also knit more of Clue 6 while I caught up on the season finale of Endeavor. I am nearing the end of the MKAL with just 6 rows to go on the extended version and then the bind-off!...
Racing Summer
Today is the last Monday of July. Yes, that's right…the very last one. A very big part of me is wondering how July flew by so very quickly and the sadness that there is more summer behind me than there is before me is encroaching on my soul. Perhaps it is because I...
TGIF with a side of links, please!
I am taking a page from Kym today and sharing a TGIF post, because I am pretty sure you are sick of seeing photos of in-process-but-not-finished knitting! T – Thinking About: Books to fill in spaces on my second bingo card. As you can see, I have a few filled in. I...
Three on Thursday | 7.26.18
Things, just three of them, should be easy to come up with each week…amirite? Not so much, so today's things are current things on my brain right this very moment! Thing One: Tia Coleman, who is on everyone's mind. Honestly, I am not sure I would want to survive what...
Unraveled Wednesday | 7.25.18
Greetings Unravelers! I have a FO to share with you all today! Yes, my Beekeeper Cardigan is done! I love how it turned out, and especially the hack of knitting the sleeves flat and seaming them! Thank you, Mary for being the encouragement I needed to step out of the...
Tiny Moments Tuesday | 7.24.18
The determination to get caught up is strong and I am so close! Close on a cover all for Book Bingo and close to being caught up with KK's MKAL clues! AND... as you can see, I am still not close to the end of skein number one! Happy Tuesday all!
Summer Weekends Are My Favorite
It was one of those perfect "height of summer" weekends that started with a laid-back Friday Happy Hour that included Whipped Feta Dip… mmmm so good! This will be in the rotation again! The farmer's market on Saturday was full of all the good things! Peaches, Plums,...
Fiber Friday | 7.20.18
I am making progress on sleeves…slowly. But, there is progress! Frankly, it has been far too nice out to be indoors. And, I have found plenty to occupy my time with outdoors but, hopefully I will find more than a minute or two this weekend to knit! However, I did get...
Three on Thursday | 7.19.18
Last week Carole shared a most interesting list and several others posted luxury lists of their own. It really got me thinking about luxuries. But, what is a luxury? The dictionary says it is "the state of great comfort and extravagant living" and the list of synonyms...
Unraveled Wednesday | 7.18.18
Into all lives some unraveling must fall… Yes, there was some significant unraveling in this house in the past week…and there is a bit more unraveling to do before the week is over! Yes, the Beekeeper Cardigan is still in process, but I am moving forward with flat...
Cleaning Out the Cobwebs
I used to sew all the time, mostly for my children when they were little. I have found a new love of sewing for myself thanks to Lotta Jansdotter and Grainline Studio's patterns. But, frankly, I had forgotten how fun it is to sew little things! Yesterday, I managed to...
Finding Success in Failure
As you can see, I did not get my Beekeeper Cardigan finished and there just might be some more frogging in order. As Mary said in an email to me bright and early this morning: "Purling sleeves in the round is not fun." No. No, it is not! Flat knit sleeves may be in...
Fiber Friday | 7.13.18
By the time you read this, Steve will be off to his work weekend extravaganza and I will be ensconced on the sofa attacking Day 4 of the Beekeeper Cardigan Knit Along. I have roughly 5 inches to go and then the ribbing of the body as per the pattern…BUT!!! I have seen...
Three on Thursday, Insomniac Edition
Over the course of my life, I have had bouts of insomnia. Sometimes, the cause of the insomnia was easy to identify and other times I spent many a sleepless night pondering the reason of my inability to sleep. These days the cause of my sleeplessness is easily...
Unraveled Wednesday | 7.11.18
No unraveling this week, but just barely! I am making progress on my Beekeeper Cardigan, but I have had to tink back a few times when I was not paying attention and my bees got out of sync! However, today I have about 5 inches to go in the body, but I won't get any...
Tiny moments | 7.10.18
The harvest of the first cherry tomatoes truly ushers in summer. And, it looks like summer is going to go on for a good long time, if I measure it by the bumper crop of tomatoes waiting to be ripened by the sun. Even the little bees are excited! ...
Sometimes Monday… | 7.9.18
...looks ambitious! The weekend reprieve from the crazy heat was most welcome, and while the heat is returning later today, this morning is cool and lovely outside. Perfect to sit outside under the pergola and knit and that is just what I am going to do! That's...
