Thinking About A big question for me right now is garden or no garden? Last year the only thing that did well were the beans. Tomatoes and peppers were epic failures with very low production and really not worth the effort. Also, another question I am contemplating is...

Winter has returned with a vengeance here in Pittsburgh! Most of the week our temperatures have been in the 50's and this morning we have a dusting of snow covering that is covering a rather nasty bit of ice and it appears my YakTrax will get their inaugural use...

Greetings Unravelers and Happy Wednesday! One of the things that I want to do more this year is spinning - but I was keeping my wheel in a place where I was unlikely to ever do any spinning. The proof of that is how little spinning I did most of last year but, all...

My January is off to a roaring start! I have finished my Felix Cardigan - well, it is finished with the exception of weaving the ends in and sewing on buttons! I hope to get to JoAnn's this weekend to see what they might have that could work with it! I really love how...
Looking Back | December 2019
I've come to sing you a song called December. Ryan Murphy, Down with the Ship Last year really cemented these "Looking Back" posts and I love how they can change my feelings on the month! I love looking back at the photos and videos I captured...

Over the past two weeks has had a gang of weekends! Seven of the last 13 days have had a decidedly weekendish feel. One would think that all this weekending would be something to celebrate, but another weekend is upon us and I am feeling a bit "weekended out!" My...

Happy New Year, dear Unravelers! I am sorry for the very heavy image laden post today, but there was a lot of reading in 2019!! My year of knitting was so very good, but honestly… my year of reading might have been a bit better! I did not hit my reading goal, but I...
An Intentional Life
Intentional living is the art of making our own choices before others' choices make us. — Richie Norton As you all know, my word for 2019 - focus - made a huge impact on my life. I do not want to lose that in 2020, so I spent a good bit of time thinking about where I...

Merry Christmas, Unravelers! Today, you get an update on some top-secret Christmas knitting and my Year in Knitting review! First up, I knit Steve a pair of Simply Skyp Socks. The yarn I used was a bit heavier than sport weight, but I love how they turned out! I also...
A Year of Focus | 2019
What you stay focused on will grow. — Roy T. Bennett December is drawing to a close and so is my word for 2019 and I confess, I am sad to see it end! I started with an idea of how focus would change me and over the year my word took me on a much better journey than I...
Welcome Winter
I saw this poem on Saturday and have been pondering Wendell Berry's words ever since: To Know the Dark To go in the dark with a light is to know the light. To know the dark, go dark. Go without sight, and find that the dark, too, blooms and sings, and is...

Christmas is a season not only of rejoicing but of reflection. — Winston Churchill As I write this post, I am watching the gentle fall of snowflakes out my "office" window. Occasionally, the wind swirls them as if my neighborhood is a huge snow globe and as the wind...

Perhaps a little Christmas music to get things rolling? Because Christmas insanity continues around these parts. I did manage to get mittens finished, and they will be on their way to Michigan later today! And today my making will all be about baking! Bring on the...
