Fire-y Hemlock Ring , originally uploaded by As Kat Knits. Please do not fall over from shock Gentle Reader, but on my knitting blog I present to you some actual knitting content! I have finished Jared Flood's Hemlock Ring Blanket and I am in love! After a rough...
Red Sky at Night…
Red Sky at Night..., originally uploaded by As Kat Knits. Friday was a whirl-wind day. I worked a split and had lunch with a friend whom I had not seen for far too long. Cabboy and I had lunch at the New Holland Brewery and was it good! Conversation and food were a...
Waterloo
I have found my Knitter's Waterloo much to my chagrin. I am admitting defeat, waving the white flag, throwing in the towel - or shawl as maybe the case in this instance. I have cast on and now frogged for the third and last time Knitty's Annis. My heart hurts and my...
Cat comes on little rainy feet…
It has been an interesting week here at Casa del KatKnits, one with teasing glimpses at the sun bookended by gloomy, grey, rainy, and cold days. Monday was one such gloomy and wet day, but waking at my usual hour I set about to brew some coffee and what to my...
The Joys of Nepotism
Work has become the bane of my existence. Summer has arrived and with it the influx of the management's offspring who all "work" at the restaurant. I have learned that work is a relative term. Relative to whom one is related. However, having dinner with a lovely and...
Going Bananas
It was a lazy Sunday here at Casa del KatKnits, it was a rare day off and I caught up on some laundry and a very tiny bit of housework. And, I baked... yes, that is right, I baked. I had some bananas that were nicely ripe and found this recipe on the internet, which...
In Celebration of Me!
"Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You." ~Dr. Seuss As many of you know, I lost my job last December and to say it has been challenging to find replacement work is an understatement! I am fortunate, I guess, to have...
Thoughts on Yarn.
I've always done things the hard way. I was born like a piece of tangled yarn. The job is trying to untangle it, and I'll probably go on doing it for the rest of my life. ~Karen Allen I honestly can admit that in the past 10 years since I have been knitting there have...
Summertime, summertime, sum, sum, summertime…
My Bodacious Leader posed some questions to her Bodacious-Wanna-Be's this week so the focus today is all about summer. Janey wants to know.... What do you do to get ready for summer? What says summer to you – music, food, clothes, activities, you name it… Living in...
A little dirt therapy
DSCF1940, originally uploaded by As Kat Knits. It has been a crazy week here at Casa del KatKnits and the weeks end found me needing more than a little therapy. I found it in the dirt. Potting soil, that is. My garden is all set to grow, I have sprinkled a little...
The treat at the end of a very long day…
The treat at the end of a very long day..., originally uploaded by As Kat Knits. After one long day, this was the treat waiting for me when I arrived home. This ending makes the day not seem quite so long. Here is to the weekend and it being as long as today seemed -...
In Celebration of Recycling
I read this meme on Janey's Blog and as there has been little content here recently I thought I'd "recycle" this here, and while I know it is not Monday the encouragement to recycle is a good reminder any day! I celebrate myself, and sing myself, And what I assume you...
Mother's Day Monday
After a week of Tulip Time Hell, having the breakfast with the Sunshine's of my life on Sunday was the most amazing ending to one very long week. I leave you with a bit of the sunshine they left in my life for the week. Thank you Heidi and Sam, I love you both so...
The Tulip Time Precursor…
DSCF1882, originally uploaded by As Kat Knits. Tulip Festival is looming here in Holland, Michigan. However, the tulips are waning....these beauties will be done soon. Hope spring is equally as beautiful in your neck of the woods.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
First, there was a bit of dyeing. Then there was a little re-skeining. Finally yesterday, with the help of my incredibly talented friend, AsKatKnits Studios was born! Today AsKatKnits Studios is open for business. Please feel free to go look around a bit. I will be...
Fraud and deception and lies! Oh, my!
Honesty is such a lonely word. Everyone is so untrue. Honesty is hardly ever heard. And mostly what I need from you. - Billy Joel Last week was ripe with scandal in both the banking industry and on Wall Street, first came the announcement that failed Washington Mutual...
Springtime in Holland
DSCF1859, originally uploaded by As Kat Knits. It seems spring had definitely sprung here in my little corner of the world. This is the Crab Apple tree in my front yard, here in bloom for a fleeting moment, so I captured it in all its glory for posterity.
The Bodacious Thought Process
In the continuing bodacious thought process, this quote appeared on a friends Facebook wall and I loved it. Ms. Angelou's statement spoke volumes to me with her brilliant wisdom in this statement: "Each of us has that right, that possibility, to invent ourselves...
