Three on Thursday: 1.25.18
Sometimes the thing you wish for is the thing you get! I am sitting her wondering how on earth it is Thursday already, and then remembered I was hoping for a quick week, and quick it has been! Thing One: My new girl crush: Circuit Court Judge Rosemarie Aquilina! Her...
Unraveled Wednesday: 1.24.18
Winter time, and the knitting is easy… The last time I talked about my knitting, I was in the midst of determining if I had enough yarn to finish my Stopover. So, some crazy knitty math was done and it will be close, but by my calculations, I think I will have the...
What the…
Tuesday, the most awesome of blog days!! (Not!!) Today I am really jonesing for Carole to bring back 10 on Tuesday prompts. You know, those days when I did not have to think too much! However, today I have some What the Heck items that have me completely dumbfounded...
An Energized Monday
It was a fly by weekend here and I am hoping this week moves at the same clip. Friday Happy Hour was extra special with a couple of Blood Orange martini's (super simple: Gin and Blood Orange juice in a 2-1 ratio and these were so good they got a replay on Sunday for...
Fiber Friday, January 17
Stopover is in a bit of a time out. I almost always have lots of extra yarn left over when I finish a project. So, this time I ordered accordingly so that I would NOT have left over yarn and now I am in fear that I will not have enough to finish. So, I put it aside...
3 on Thursday, Jan. 18
This week I am doing my take on Bonny's post from last week and that eternally dreaded question: "What's for dinner" … That question is the equivalent to nails on the chalkboard for me. But, sometimes all you need is a bit of inspiration! Inspiration One: I pulled...
Unraveled Wednesday, Jan. 17
Greetings Unravelers! It has been quite the week here with the continuation of cold and snowy weather. I might almost think I am back in Michigan! Fortunately, all this cold makes it easy to knit sweaters! And, knit I have! I am moving along nicely with my Stopover....
Right Now, mid-January
Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life? Mary Oliver This quote is the January inspiration from The Balanced Life and it is speaking volumes to me each day. I have included it in my morning mediation and it has been a wonderful help in...
Monday’s on the Arctic Tundra
Or Hello from Pittsburgh in January! In less than 24 hours we went from temps in the 70's. Seriously, it was 72 here on Friday and we got over two inches of rain which then changed over to snow with temps in the teens on Saturday. My back yard is now a snow-covered...
Fiber Friday, January 12
Despite temps that reached the 70's with the sun out yesterday, Treysta got her debut yesterday and, oh my, I just LOVE her! Hindsight in knitting, I should have gone down once size I think, but it fits and is incredibly comfortable! Treysta is a well-written pattern...
Three on Thursday, January 11
There are two seasonal diversions that can ease the bit of any winter. One is the January thaw. The other is the seed catalogs. Hal Borland January thaw is well upon us and here in Pittsburgh and we achieved temps in the 50's yesterday. It is supposed to be similarly...
Unraveled Wednesday, Jan. 10
Is it just me, or does this month seem be moving by and a most rapid pace? Not that I mind at all and the days are getting every so slightly longer, which is a very good thing! Speaking of good things: Treysta is DONE and is currently getting a bit of a Soak™ and then...
Make Nine 2018
Yesterday, I saw this post from Gale which then took me to IG where I happily fell down a bit of a rabbit hole looking at #makenine2018 collages. But, Gale was the starter of all this craziness and thanks to her I have also become a Ravelry Stalker of Kirsten Kapur's...
Weekending, January 8
Sometimes the best thing about a weekend is the surprise extension of it on Monday morning. That's right, Steve's office is closed today because if you have days on end of at or below zero-degree weather, when it rains and instantly freezes creating a ginormous...
Persistence Pays Off
I have been slowly plugging away at my Treysta, and Sleeve No. One is almost done! Sleeve No. Two should go faster, because I was smart and kept track of all my rows! Maybe by this time next week, a new sweater will be born! I am glad it is the weekend and a bit of...
My Year of Stitching
December 31st, I completed my last stitching, in the last month of my year long project. I have to confess, it was most bittersweet. I felt both an incredible sense of accomplishment coupled with an intense melancholy at the ending of this epic project. Yesterday...
Unraveled Wednesday, January 3
There was a bit of unraveling here this week. I had started this sweater earlier least year and I was uncertain on what size to make because well, a sweater knit with 14" of positive ease? So, I cast on with a more moderate amount of ease and began knitting. Now,...
Happy New Year?
Did you miss me? I sure missed you all! My plans to end 2017 did not include falling off the blogging map! I did have some rather nice posts planned to close out the year. However, they were only plans in my head and not plans in the form of ready to go blog posts....
