Unraveled Wednesday | 7.7.21

It has been a slow making week here at Casa del KatKnits... but the three tubes have been joined which seems like a good thing...and it is! It means I am closer to a finished sweater, but it also means I have monstrously long rounds to knit... monstrously long! But I...

Summer Slow Down continues  despite the cooler temps and some really good "soaking" rains we've had over the last day. Truthfully, it was a welcome change from 90+ degree days. I understand that our heatwave was nothing compared to what many are experiencing, but...

If you’re always racing to the next moment, what happens to the one you’re in? Slow down and enjoy the moment you’re in and live your life to the fullest. ― Nanette Mathews Carolyn's prompts for June included a Blast List, which I struggled with... I was stymied by...

“How did it get so late so soon?” ― Dr. Seuss Today I am one with Dr. Seuss. It is the last Friday in June... and all I can do is wonder where the heck the month went? But it is still June for a few more seconds and so let's slow down and savor some things that stood...

Greetings Gentle Readers! Apparently sofa's have a great desire for AirPods...and yes, I found them deep inside in a place I did not know my sofa had. I also found one pen and, curiously, just one stitch marker. The Single Stitch Marker surprises me because I am very...

Sometimes Monday | 6.21.21

Bring (the official start of) summer and a very full week. I have a list which includes the mundane that I don't need a list to remember to do, but the joy of crossing things off inspires me to always include the mundane. It includes finding a new physician... never,...

I want to close this week out with a list of Good Things that I thought you might find some of them enrich your days as well. All these things all fit well with my LSD Mantra (Learning to Slow Down) for the summer. Listening things are probably the best part of my...

“LSD stands out for learning to slow down.” ― Santosh Kalwar Yes, this is my mantra for the remainder of the summer. Life in the slow lane... just feels good. In pre-slow times, I would have slammed this tunic out (with a mistake or ten because speed) and moved on to...

Looking Back | May 2021

“Most of the dandelions had changed from suns into moons.” ― Vladimir Nabokov For a long month, May seemed over before it began! Likewise... holy cow it seems like all we did was drink! (Perhaps that is why the month flew by? lol) Anyways......

I don't know about you, but the days are racing by... how is it the 11th already? Yikes! I want summer to slow it right down... take your time! What's the rush? Right? And with the idea of things racing on past, this weeks list of things are things that are all about...

Winston provided me with my Hat Review... and I am going to make those brims just a wee bit narrower so he can see, but still be shaded from the sunshine! But... did you ever see anything cuter than Winston in hats? Me either! LOL This second half of the week I will...

Is time for a big brain dump! I spent lots of time thinking this weekend... about so many things! And yes, I even managed to get some sleep! Thank goodness!! And!! I found some impatiens! (Go Home Depot! lol) There was lots of outdoor work...perfect for thinking and...

Stitching up the week | 6.4.21

Greetings, Gentle Readers. It's been a short-long week in my house. Short in the days which fairly flew by... long in the nights with a raging bout of insomnia that has lasted far too long. Which brings me to this morning where I find myself with a severe case of...

Greetings Unravelers! Welcome to June! Excuse me while I continue doing the dance of joy over my Marled Very-Short-Sleeved Purl Strings. I am in love and think that the solution for "not enough yarn" was the best accident ever! I predict this will get oodles of use...

Sometimes Tuesday’s… | 6.1.21

Feel like the long weekend was just not quite long enough and I spent zero time even thinking about a blog post. Thank goodness for poetry...this poem arrived in my mailbox on Sunday and it seemed just perfect for the rainy weekend and there is something amazing about...

I am not quite sure how it is the last Wednesday of May, but here we are. Kym hoped that I would share my "list" and I think that is a very good idea for a couple of reasons! One: accountability (which is a very good thing for me! lol) and Two: if I have a list, I...

“They say time heals all wounds, but that presumes the source of the grief is finite” ― Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Prince It seems that I have found the path forward with my word, and while I can't say it feels good... it is a good thing. My "ah-ha" moment came...
