Ahh! Hullo Friday!
It seemed like an inordinately long week this week for some reason and I am glad it is Friday! I do have a Finished Object to share with you today (and this morning, I could have used them outside this morning as the temperature was a very chilly 50!) I finished the...
Time Flies?
In my thinking about what to post today, I have been spending some time thinking about impossible that it is end of August. This is especially odd since the days since the inauguration each seem like they are a century long. So, is time flying? Or dragging inexorably...
Unraveled Wednesday, August 23
The time crunch has begun to get my coverall in Book Bingo…and I am feeling it! I have 2 squares to go and I am listening to both books. I did finish Still Waters by Viveca Sten. It was an excellent book and I gave it 4 stars! I would have given it 5 stars, but for...
Every Day Good
There is so much going on every day and not all of it good. So, every day I try very hard to have something good to focus on, I thought I'd share a bit of that with you! Watching: The eclipse! Even though in Pittsburgh we only got a partial eclipse - it was...
Eclipsing Monday
It was a fly by weekend here but lots got done. Unfortunately, the sweater was not one of the things on the "done" list! I am through the sleeve divide however, and the knitting is going a bit quicker now. With some quality knitting time, this should not be on my...
Sweater in Four Days, Part II
This weekend I a #NekiaKAL participant and when Monday comes it is my hope that I will be well on my way to having a new sweater for my fall wardrobe! And, if I am really productive, I will be done on Monday but, I have my doubts that will happen. However, with no...
Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner
This week's Think Write Thursday topic is to tell us what you do when you find yourself with an abundance of tomatoes because 'tis the season! Ode to Tomatoes by Pablo Neruda the street filled with tomatoes, midday, summer, light is halved like a tomato, its juice...

I spent some time swatching over the past couple of weeks and while one swatch was not successful for what I intended it for, it did match perfectly the gauge of the Angelina Pullover. I know. It was a sign from the Knitty gods that I needed to knit that sweater! So,...
All things (not) being equal
If we cannot now end our differences, at least we can help make the world safe for diversity. John F. Kennedy I would like to say I had a great weekend, however, the events that took place in Charlottesville loom like the dark grey skies that greeted my Monday...
A Case of Cast-On-Itis (or Welcome Charlotte!)
After a night of tossing and turning, I woke this morning to this gargantuan web just outside my back door. And, I mean gargantuan - it is over 3' in diameter, this was one busy spider overnight! Perhaps, I can borrow some of her mojo and I can join her on my upcoming...
Thinks and Things
This week, there is no official Think Write Thursday topic however, thinking and writing continue. So today, I am just giving you a random round-up of some of the "thinks" that have become things this week. I finally had enough cherry tomatoes to make Tomato Jam…...
Unraveled Wednesday, August 9
Oh my! The reading has been so very good! So very, very, very good! Really, this might be the second-best summer of reading ever! (What was first? Well, nothing can quite compete with the summer I discovered The Little House books…) This week I finished 3 books: The...
Be Still
After a few very grey and cool days it appears that the sun is making a return today! (Which is very welcome even if it is not bringing the warm weather with it!) And, this morning the blog is decidedly lacking in subject matter so I thought about just writing in...
Drive by Monday
The weekend had a definite autumnal feel to it with cool temps, low humidity, and overcast skies. Kind of weird weather for early August, especially since I am not ready to be reminded that summer is winding down. The weekend weather did afford a bit more...
When the knitting is just so freaking good…
One would think that I would have immediately given a little Soak Wash spa treatment to my MKAL shawl upon casting off, however it sat around until yesterday. Why? I have no excuse except for pure laziness but it went down yesterday for a bath and then a good...
Hello, August
This week's Think Write Thursday topic is to write a post to welcome August. "August, the summer's last messenger of misery, is a hollow actor. – Henry Rollins Ohai, August. I have very mixed emotions about you. You usher in the end of summer and you always go racing...
Unraveled Wednesday, August 2
Is it just me, or does it seem like the summer is just flying by? I mean really, how on earth is it August already?!? My Instagram feed this week was full of fall sweater knitting plans…ummm, yeah. That was my reaction too, until I reminded myself that I knit not one...
August Dreams
Without leaps of imagination or dreaming, we lose the excitement of possibilities. Dreaming, after all, is a form of planning. Gloria Steinem I really enjoyed my July stitching, but again I am feeling that the stitching is not "done", but maybe that is the way of...
