Measure twice, cut once.
Well, I finally did it. I cut in the heel of a sock at the wrong spot. If you take a very close look at last the first sock, I cut in the heel between the speckled stripe and the purple stripe. Fast forward to me late one evening, working on the second sock —…

A lost blog post?
I wrote this post back on February 29, right before I left for Denver. I appartenly never hit publish, but I hate to lose all this chatter, so here you go! At this time last week, I had three (knitting) works in progress. Today, I have six. Things just… happened this week. And no, I…

One month later…
Well, I’d venture to say it’s been a fairly crazy March for us all. Four weeks ago today, I arrived in Denver for my organization’s annual meeting and it was canceled that evening. It’s been crazy with work ever since, and now I’m working from full time with the kids and Kevin all in the…

Once you get through the ribbing.
I’ve often felt that once I get through the ribbing of a sock, it’s practically done. The rest it just seems to fly by. I don’t hate ribbing, but I don’t really love it so it is always nice to get through it on anything. I’ve recently realized that brioche feels a whole like ribbing:…

Marley.
Back in the fall, I had the idea that I wanted a big, brioche shawl in a neutral-ish color. I wound up at the Shennendoah Fiber Festival with a friend and we found the yarn. Low contrast, pink and cream, neutral enough, speckled in the best way… just perfect. I snapped it up and with…

(Mostly) Never before seen WIPS!
Well, now that it’s been three weeks I suppose we’re do for a bit of an update. I’ve been all over the place. Between the new sewing room, kicking off the year of Christmas, and a healthy audiobook obsession – I’m been doing quite a bit of making. I am reasonably confident that the only…

Grown up days off.
The truth: the kids went back to school on Thursday and I don’t go back to work until tomorrow. What on earth did Kevin and I cook up to do with that extra time? Clean the house? Take down the tree? Go to the casino? No on all three accounts. We rearranged furniture. (I’m looking…

Happy, uh, Christmas?
It is the new year and that means new projects, new ideas, and the same old me. Turning over the calendar always gets ideas sparking for me. Part of that is the general sense of new and fresh that surrounds the start of a new year. The other part is returning from our holiday trip.…

The final score: WIP Wipeout 2019
Way back in June, I took a long hard look at all of my works in progress. I pulled them all out, posted them on the blog, and challenged myself to finish them off by the end of the year. Well, friends, the end of the year is here. How’d I do? Completely, totally, all…

In which gifts were given.
Well, here we are at the end of the year. Once again, I have gone a bit dark on the internet (this year was a bit of a blackout, to be honest) and just busying myself like a wee elf with gift making. This year was all about the socks. I gifted a personal high…
