Thursday’s are for Poetry | 4.21.22
The theme for this week is Forgiveness. Hmmm. Okay. I vaguely remembered reading a poem about forgiveness... but could I find it? It turns out that was quite a challenge... but, thankfully, not one that was at all painful! I spent an afternoon perusing my poetry...
Unraveled Wednesday | 4.20.22
Very little knitting has happened since last week but that is not necessarily a bad thing! Instead we have been braving the windy cold weather and trekking all over Presque Isle in Erie PA! Yesterday we even "enjoyed" the lake effect flurries that joined us on a very...
Thursday’s are for Poetry | 4.14.22
In this week's poetry installment we are all sharing a poem by Sharon Olds. She is a prolific poet and you could get lost for days and days in her poetry books. The poem I have selected is from Stag's Leap...poetry that shares her journey from from grief to healing...
Unraveled Wednesday | 4.13.22
This week a knitting milestone... I have reached Cruising Altitude on my Tegna. Yep. I am cruising along with miles of stockinette... which makes it the perfect pick up and put down knit! So I have gotten lots of minutes of knitting in! Washing machine going...pick up...
Sometimes Monday | 4.11.22
Is for lists of things... good and not so great. I would ask you if you want the good or the not so great first, but since you are not here... I will get the not so great out of the way. If your Monday is Monday enough without any more not so great, please skip ahead...
Museum of Me | April 2022
In a perfect world, I would read all instructions clearly. Sigh. That's right. Last month I shared a job I used to have... which is this month's prompt. So... This month, I am sharing something I collect...which was last month's prompt! Anyways, I have a deep love for...

This week's theme is hope. Whew. What a week for hope, huh? He that lives upon hope will die fasting. — Benjamin Franklin I have always thought that hope was a singular thing... something you had inside you... or had to find inside you. Or if you could not find it...
Unraveled Wednesday | 4.6.22
I did not plan on being 'absent' on Monday... but the news out of Ukraine put a damper on my planned post for the day. For me, it seemed that sharing something in light of the news out of Bucha just seemed... wrong. And while it does not seem any better to share such...
Currently | 4.1.22
Welcome to the Second Quarter, Gentle Readers! I am wondering how on earth I am welcoming April... no fooling! This year seems to be moving at a pace slightly faster than warp speed... sigh. However, my Blog Calendar tells me that today is the day for my Currently...
Unraveled Wednesday | 3.30.22
Greetings Unraveler's and Happy Wednesday! I have been very productive since we last talked! I spent some time going through my stash... and I culled quite a few things. So now when I look in my "Yarn Cupboard" I can clearly see what is there, and it has been...
Full and Contentment | March 2022
We need much less than we think we need. ― Maya Angelou This month I have contemplated full from a different perspective... rather than comparing it to emptiness, I considered contentment. And Maya is so very correct... I need much less than I think I need. The Less...
To Whom It May Concern | 3.25.22
I have said this many times, that there seems to be enough room in the world for mediocre men, but not for mediocre women, and we really have to work very, very hard. — Madeleine Albright Dearest Madam Secretary, The news of your passing took me by surprise this week...
Unraveled Wednesday | 3.23.22
We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing. — George Bernard Shaw I have a completed pair of socks! Yay! Thanks to Vera for clueing me in to this sock pattern. It is free, well written, and a joy to knit! (Bonus... the fit is fab!)...
Weekend Realities | 3.21.22
I had such a lovely "list of things" I wanted to do this weekend. Things that included tackling button holes with a fresh mind on Saturday morning, finish my handspun Hitchhiker, watch some of March Madness, and start reading The Books of Jacob. But Real Life had a...
Friday Finds | 3.18.22
Whew, Friday... it seems like eons since you were here! It's been a week... of all the weather (at least here in Pittsburgh) and all the heartbreaking news. We were happy to join in this week in making a donation for Ukraine to Brother's Brother. Even though it feels...
Unraveled Wednesday | 3.16.22
Greetings Unravelers! Happy Wednesday! Perhaps you remember that test knit I did last month. Well, I can finally share it with you all! I present MaryJane Mucklestone's Lakeway Beret! As always, it is a joy to knit one of MaryJane's patterns and this one is a color...
Thoughts for a Monday | 3.14.22
Our life is March weather, savage and serene in one hour. ― Ralph Waldo Emerson Truer words were never spoken, no? The weather certainly brought that point home in my neighborhood this weekend,,,with an exclamation point! We have had rain, snow (the official total is...
