It feels like Autumn turned off the summer switch and plunged us directly into fall here in Western PA. Late Wednesday afternoon some storms pushed through bringing rain, winds, and much cooler temperatures. Thursday morning was all about the layers for Sherman's...

Delicious Autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns. — George Eliot Greetings AUTUMN!! (And, Greetings, Unravelers!) My most favorite season officially arrives this afternoon... despite the...

...brings a return to 'normalcy' with the end of a brief, but spectacular, vacation. Normalcy... what a word, huh? Perhaps not the best since I have been feeling anything but normal these days! I confess that I have been struggling a bit recently... Feeling...

Dear Unravelers...I have barely knit an inch of the Vanilla Sweater since we last talked, but I have spent endless hours walking in, listening to, and soaking up the beauty that is Presque Isle. I have been trying to share a few "postcards" of my day on IG, if you are...
Unraveled Wednesday | 9.8.21
The making this week had a bit of "unraveling" of the sewing version... perhaps "ripping out" is a better term. I removed the waistband and removed a bit of fabric, but I could not remove as much as I needed to... so a good wash helped tremendously! Hot water and a...
Friday FO(s) | 9.3.21
I am scraping the bottom of the barrel on finding anything good to post about today. Each week ends and I think how can it possibly get worse... and then it does. I am worried about where we go from here. NPR summed it up rather succinctly with these handy memes: I...

Greetings Unravelers and Welcome September where I am waiting for the weather to flip the switch from heat and humidity to something a few degrees cooler and less moist! **I apologize for the poor photo quality, but I tried multiple times on Tuesday to get "natural...

TGIF | 8.27.21
In a week of disturbing incidents... so many... too many... I thought a bit of a calm might be just the thing. Just a bit to allow us to take a breath... so we can remind ourselves to breathe. Thinking about not thinking — Because this week thinking is a bit...

Greetings Unravelers! This week I have the big reveal of my summer mystery knit. Let's face it, sometimes mystery knits sound exciting but the end results...not so much. I have knit many a mystery shawl that are never, ever worn. It is a sad thing to invest time to...
Renewed and refreshed? | 8.23.21
Just to show you all how completely out of sync my brain is... I thought that today was the day to update you all on my word. Good thing that I have one more week for that so that I can try and do something with my word this month because I have basically avoided my...
Good Things Friday | 8.13.21
My plan was to post something this morning to let you all know that I will be taking a little blogging break next week. I am not going anywhere, but I am in need of a recharge of my brain...creativity...etc. But last night some huge storms rolled in and with one very...

It has been a slow week for making this week. But!! I am on my second sleeve and happy to have this easy to pick up and put down project right now. But it is just all so much of a grey blob, isn't it? I thought I'd share the ribbon I found to cover the steeks... I...
Sometimes Monday | 8.9.21
Is for seeking input! Last week we had a wee break in the heat and humidity, but that all ended over the weekend. This week is supposed to be warm and so humid. But that break...it makes me think about moving out of this season and easing into autumn. It's been such a...
Good things, with a side of food for thought | 8.6.21
An overly full week is winding down. Stress seems to be intent on becoming the center of our lives... and I pondered in my morning meditations if my fighting against the stress was causing more stress than acknowledging the stress and moving on around it. (I am pretty...

Greetings dear Unravelers! How on earth is it possibly August??? I have a finish this week, yes Shakerag is done! And I love it very much and am contemplating making another one! Shoulder seaming woes and all! Yes... it was a bitch and a half to seam... somehow the...

Are beautifully overcast and almost chilly enough to need a sweater! This morning it feels like a switch has been turned off as August ushered in some much cooler nights. This paired with the now noticeably darker mornings and earlier darker evenings brings the...
The Good, Bad, and Downright Disappointing
Or, a "Currently" update... I have not done a "currently" update for a very long time. Too long, maybe. Anyways, one has kind of been rattling around in my brain so I thought I'd share a bit. Sadly, it is not all of it is good... but that is often life, right?...
