Unraveled Wednesday | 10.23.24
Greetings dearest Unravelers and Happy Wednesday!! A break from knitting can do a body good! I came home from vacation with a fire inside me to get that lingering gnome finished! I still had miles... and miles... and miles to go on the body. This is one HUGE gnome....
Sometimes Monday | 10.21.24
Means "back to the grind"... sigh. But rather than tackle the normality of Monday, I thought I'd share some highlights of our week in Erie! We had such a delightful time away... it was a week of each new day striving to be better than the day before! We had "layer"...
Unraveled Wednesday | 10.9.24
Greetings dear Unravelers and happy Wednesday! This week, I reminded myself that perseverance... one stitch after another, one row after another... means completed objects. And this week, that was the balm I needed... the perseverance balm. I finished my September...
Sometimes Monday | 10.7.24
Is for rounding out my "packing list" with some "insurance"... A skein of sock yarn and sock needles Stitching bits and pieces and yes, a warm coat, another hat, and mittens! I added those last bits yesterday when I saw the much chillier than expected forecast for...
Hello, October | 10.4.24
In October, a maple tree before your window lights up your room like a great lamp. Even on cloudy days, its presence helps to dispel the gloom. — John Burroughs It is the month I eagerly anticipate all year... my most favorite of all! Although, it feels very off to be...
Unraveled Wednesday | 10.2.24
Greetings dear Unraveler's and happy Wednesday! Every year, when I turn the calendar to October, these words from L.M. Montgomery echo in my head: I am so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers. Yes, October is my hearts delight! There is so much to love......
Burning Time | September
Time is the fire in which we burn. — Gene Roddenberry I have reached the portion of the year that feels like I am racing against time. The days are growing ever shorter... both in the hours of daylight and what time I might have left to me. How appropriate that the...
Unraveled Wednesday | 9.25.24
Greetings Dear Unravelers and Happy Last Wednesday of September! The months have reached the point where they just race on... and too darned fast if you ask me! I find it almost impossible that there are less than 100 days left in this year! It's been a slow making...
In My Back Yard | Summer 2024
September tries its best to have us forget summer. — Bernard Williams Yesterday, autumn arrived and I am feeling a deep sorrow in my heart at the end of summer... which is the most curious coming from a person who never really liked summer at all. Yes, I am grieving...
A Gathering of Poetry | 9.19.24
It seems that my need for poetry this month has been directly tied to the state of the world around us... and so as the world gets uglier, I dive deeper into poetry. Poetry is most frequently a balm for me... a soothing salve that eases the bruises of the day. But...
Unraveled Wednesday | 9.18.24
Greetings Gentle Unravelers! September is just flying by and I need to get my fingers in gear if I expect to get the pair of September Socks finished! While I don't have a picture to share, I do have a few thoughts about the Jaywalker pattern... I am remembering now...
Sometimes Monday | 9.16.24
We know that in September, we will wander through the warm winds of summer's wreckage. We will welcome summer's ghost. — Henry Rollins Summer's ghost was alive a well last week... again it was (very) dry with temps climbing into the 80's. But I see signs of change ......
September RIFFing | 9.13.24
September days have the warmth of summer in their briefer hours, but in their lengthening evenings a prophetic breath of autumn. — Rowland E. Robinson Happy almost mid-September! This quote... so very true. I love the warmth of the September sun that gives way to a...
Unraveled Wednesday | 9.11.24
Greetings Gentle Unravelers on this most somber of Wednesday's I am sure, like me, you all remember exactly where you were at 8:14AM EDT in 2001. Today, especially, I think of the 2,977 souls that were lost. A good day to sit in quiet meditation and catch up my...
Sometimes Monday | 9.9.24
Over the weekend I planned for the future... planning as in ordering bulbs to plant. This is the kind of future planning I think I like best, a colorful promise of delight after a long, brown winter! And that got me thinking about what else is a promise of delight. A...
Friday Finds | 9.6.24
Greetings Everyone and Happy First Friday! It has been a good week... I got my "fall jabs" at Rite Aid on Wednesday and yesterday I was feeling it. I reminded myself that my feeling "icky" meant that my body was working hard on building new fighter t-cells and this...
Unraveled Wednesday | 9.4.24
Greetings dear Unravelers and welcome to September! https://askatknits.com/wp-admin/edit.phpKnitting season is upon us... and I want to knit all the things! Or at least all the things I should not be knitting! (Like Gnome sweaters and September socks!) Gnatty has had...
Hello, September | 9.2.24
September is the other January. — Gretchen Rubin Hello Sweet September! You are one of my favorite months and have been for as long as I can remember! I love every thing you bring from the return "normal" schedules to the changes that happen with the weather! So what...
