Greetings Unravelers! Though it pains me to say it, welcome to the final Wednesday in October. I am in a bit of shock that the month raced by as rapidly as it did. This week, I have practically nothing on the knitting front to share... nary a stitch was knit on that...
Release | October 2021
I am unbelievably ready to release release and because that is all I could think about this month... I have begun thinking about my word for next year and some amazing possibilities are floating around over here! There is nothing like the excitement of a new...
Falling into Friday | 10.22.21
It was a random week, punctuated by a few maddening moments. With the latest update from my daughter... the tooth is still wiggly. Or at least it was on Monday! My daughter is back at work, which means Winston is in daycare and has had one illness after another. While...

Autumn has been teasing us this week with cooler mornings that give way to mild afternoons. I am soaking up each and every moment of these most welcome days! Has my Knitting Mojo returned? Well... there is a finished Gnorwen (who has been delivered to Steve's mom...
Monday Odds and Ends | 10.18.21
I usually write Monday's post on Sunday afternoon... usually. Yesterday no inspiration struck at all so Monday morning arriving sans blog post is leaving me feeling a bit like the kid who did not do *any* of their homework over the weekend. Hoo boy... Welcome to the...

Whew! Re-entry week almost over and it feels like "normal" life is more normal! My day started out incredibly when Steve sent me this link for my listening pleasure! (Adele's new album drops Nov. 19 and I.can't.wait!!) The Loose Tooth is still hanging in there! (Heidi...

There was barely a stitch knit during my time away. It is the longest I have gone without knitting that I can remember... well, since before I became a knitter! I attempted to remedy that knitting void upon my return but things like laundry and groceries jumped to the...

Hello, Unravelers! Last week there was little to no making because we were gone for 10-ish days. (There was some sewing and the elastic waist band insertion and hemming of said sewing is on my list for today!) This week there has been little to no making because we...

Everything in life goes back to the basics. — Kron Gracie This month's prompt encouraged us to go back to basics with our word. Okay. So this month I tried to search out "back to basics" with my word and I had some wins! This year I have really focused on staying in...

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...

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...
