Gemütlichkeit for Friday | 12.13.19
Winter is not a season, it's a celebration. – Anamika Mishra That is most certainly true…at least at my house in December! I do so love December – even the greyest of days are soothed by the lights on our tree. And that theory was put to the test this week as we had...
Unraveled Wednesday 12.11.19
We have sadly arrived at the time of the year when getting good photos is challenging at best! We are in the midst of a dreary week sans any sunshine at all, so I apologize in advance for the poor lighting! However, the third time was absolutely the charm for my...
Sometimes Monday | 12.9.19
Starts with one big, gigantic, LONG to-do list! I have some frantic knitting to finish up….it seems the third time was the charm for those slippers! One down, one to go! And, there is wrapping…and more wrapping! All so I can stand in line at the post office this week!...
Gemütlichkeit for Friday | 12.6.19
Winter is the time for comfort, for good food and warmth, for the touch of a friendly hand and for a talk beside the fire: it is the time for home. — Edith Sitwell Sometimes English is, well, so lacking. Other languages have words that are just so more descriptive of...
Unraveled Wednesday | 12.4.19
I hope this week does not find you frantically knitting objects that you cannot share on your blog. Sadly, for me… that is my life in knitting right now so you get a bit the fluffy goodness that is my languishing Evening Dew Cardigan. Those pesky socks are finished...
Looking Back | November 2019
I have come to regard November as the older, harder man's October. I appreciate the early darkness and cooler temperatures. It puts my mind in a different place than October. It is a month for a quieter, slightly more subdued celebration of summer's death as winter...
Welcome December | 2019
How did it get so late so soon? – Dr. Seuss Ahh, December! In a whirl, you are here with your darkening, colder days. But December you also bring Christmas trees, twinkle lights, carols, the best bits of childhood memories! There is gift giving, with the hopes that...
Unraveled Wednesday | 11.27.19
Greetings Unravelers! I hope that for a few minutes at least, you can step out of the kitchen and spend a moment or two sharing your dreams of what you could be knitting or reading this week! Once this is posted, it is Pumpkin Pie City for me! Of course, my Pie City...
A Gratitude Focus | November 2019
I am joining Juliann and friends to share my word - Focus. I started the month off strong with Michelle's Gratitude Week – her reminders were so perfect and in hindsight, it turns out that start was crucial to surviving a very challenged month for me. I am grateful...
Quiet Weekending | 11.25.19
It was a quiet weekend trying to cure my cough/cold and my only trek out was to the post office bright and early on Saturday to mail Genevieve an advent calendar. Friday, the monumental task of cleaning out the refrigerator was gleefully crossed off my list! All...
TGIF | 11.22.19
The last Friday before Thanksgiving looms large in my house. While I did pretty good at checking off most of my list, I did not quite get everything crossed off…Refrigerator, I am looking at you! But a rainy Friday and an engaging audio book will help me get it...
Unraveled Wednesday | 11.20.19
Late November unraveling feels a bit frantic; do you agree? I have a pair of socks I'd like to finish for a Christmas gift… this from the person who might just be the slowest sock knitter in the Northern Hemisphere. I don't even have a HO (and that damned clock is...
Sometimes Monday | 11.18.19
Includes some "carry-over" items from last week's list. I had hoped to get a Gnome stared and Thanksgiving is now looming large! But, my yarn is all set and I've moved it up on the list, so it gets started AND completed! I had hoped to get Christmas lights out…...
TGIF | 11.15.19
You can't promote principled anti-corruption action without pissing off corrupt people. – George P. Kent, Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs In my opinion, this was the best quote of the week. Bravo to Mr. Kent for saying it and it...
Unraveled Wednesday | 11.13.19
Greetings Unravelers and Happy Wednesday! I finished my Baby Velvet knitting binge with a bang – one final pint-sized cowl so Vivi can match her mom! (I think it might be a little big, but it will absolutely work!) Details for my modifications are here. I got to the...
Sometimes Monday | 11.11.19
…is for remembering. It is a long weekend in my house and usually long weekends are all about, well… the weekend and extending it one more day. Today, however, I will spend some time contemplating all those have served (and are serving) so that I can enjoy a long...
TGIF | 11.8.19
I am really trying to ignore how rapidly the days are racing past. However, doing that with any success has been an abject failure. I did, however, finish Rachel's Velvet-y Cowl last night. I have more than enough yarn left to make a "Mini-Velvet-y Cowl" for Vivi, so...
Looking Back | October 2019
October is the fallen leaf, but it is also a wider horizon more clearly seen. It is the distant hills once more in sight, and the enduring constellations above them once again. — Hal Borland My October images had a clear pattern of almost daily...
