Sometimes Monday | 2.24.20

Comes with a completed sock and a start on its mate! It also brought day three of sunshine and I don't know who is happier me or the hundreds of birds singing in my neighborhood! Sadly, it includes lots of the "regularly scheduled" Monday things as well which will...

Any time, any time while I was a slave, if one minute's freedom had been offered to me, and I had been told I must die at the end of that minute, I would have taken it. Just to stand one minute on god's earth a free woman. I would. — Elizabeth Freeman (MumBet) Black...

Unraveled Wednesday | 2.19.20

The making this week included a wee bit of sewing... one more flannel Esme Tunic, although with the weather we've been having a flannel tunic seems rather silly! However, it is my "go to wear" these days and having one more in the rotation is a good thing. I did a bit...

Is still the weekend, at least for some of us… I find it curious that Steve does not have MLK Day off but he does President's Day... Anyway, it was a good weekend, one with tulips for Valentine's Day and, thanks to Sarah's Saturday release, a new sock was started (and...

February brings the rain, Thaws the frozen lake again. - Sara Coleridge Rain. Rain mixed with snow. Snow. Snow mixed with rain. And now bitter cold. Yet, lengthening days and increasing birdsong hold the promise that spring is coming, even if it does not feel like it...

Socks, hat pompoms, and increases every fourth row described my knitting this week! No actual finishes, but lots of progress none the less! I went with a friend to see Knives Out! last Wednesday and I managed to get the leg of my second sock done. And, a few bits of...

Sometimes Monday | 2.10.20

Brings sunshine on slender green stems! Our wintry blast from last week has been ushered out by warming temps and lots of rain. The robins seem most gleeful as they hop around in the back yard. It was a quiet weekend here, and sometimes that is exactly what was...

February, fill the dyke With what thou dost like. Thomas Tusser, A Hundreth Good Pointes of Husbandrie Friday's in February will focus on finding things to love about a month that for me is an "in-between month" - it's not quite spring and not quite winter, although...

Unraveled Wednesday | 2.5.20

Greetings Unravelers! How are we five days into February already?! Is it me or did time suddenly just speed up drastically? Sadly, my knitting has not taken the same turn and in fact it all feels quite January-like as I slough through these rows! Sorry for the...

Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year. — Ralph Waldo Emerson The Best Part of the Month: Realizing that there was more sunshine than it felt like. January is long, and it felt so sunless and seeing that there were...

Weekending | 2.3.20

I have not done one of these posts in ages, but we actually did some things worth discussing over the weekend! We started Friday with the usual eats and a really good sip and then we I caught up on last week's Seven Worlds, One Planet on BBC America. Saturday meant a...

Gemütlichkeit for Friday | 1. 31.20

Bis zum nächsten Mal, January! But, in actuality - you weren't so bad! I was inspired by Katie to track A Year of Temperatures and I started on January 1 and I am really stunned at how warm it has been! In these past 31 days we had 2 days in the 60's, 6 days in the...

Unraveled Wednesday | 1.29.20

Greetings Unravelers! It has been a long, sad week. My Tuesday night knitting group lost a member last week and knitting last night was bittersweet - we were there, but a bit diminished. However, we made plans to pick up a special shawl that was in progress for a...

I am joining Honoré and friends today to share my start with my word for 2020: If there is no struggle, there is no progress. — Frederick Douglass I foolishly assumed that my focus of 2019 would just flow seamlessly into my intentional start to January. Key word...

TGIF | 1.24.20

Turning (point) This week felt like a turning point in a great number of things, but one that was most welcome was the gradual lengthening of the days which really became noticeable to me this week! Since Solstice our daylight has expanded a whopping 34 minutes here...
