A small subset.
As you may have seen, I’ve been casting on a lot of new things. I don’t tend to work on that many of them actively, so I’ve been making progress on just a few. First up, I finished my Selbu Mittens. I knit them in just over a week, but I was by no means…

Super Secret Socks.
I’ve been knitting a pair of socks under top secret conditions for a month. Why the spy-level stealth? One simple reason. They were for Kevin. Kevin and I hang out most of the time. We’re both introverted and like to do our own thing a good bit of the time, but we like to do…

Go with it.
I’ve sat down to write this post a dozen times over the last few days. I’m feeling a bit scatterbrained with my making and can’t really seem to synthesize all that’s happening into anything coherent. Let’s come at this from a different angle. The current state of affairs, in pictures: Happy making!

Like molasses.
Things seem to be moving along at a snails pace here. Sometimes that happens, it feels like I’m knitting and knitting and knitting but the progress seems slow. I’ve got a secret make that feels like it’s been on the needles for forever, one day I’ll be able to show that one off. If I…

Wrapping up.
My knitting drive is at quite the high at the moment. I’m getting a lot of peace and joy out of my knitting, both the process and the products. After my last blog post, I was inspired to get some things finished up. First on the docket was that hat. As I mentioned, I cast…

Stress knitting.
To be honest, I’ve been stressed out lately, and when I’m stressed I tend to knit like a bit of a nutter. Stacy of StressKnits named her podcast and business after her habit of stress-knitting; I definitely know what she’s talking about. There’s a lot going on around here so grab a cup of something…

My favorite holiday – part two.
Yesterday, I indulged in a deliciously decadent day of all things sheepy and wooly. The kids and I spent the day at the Maryland Sheep & Festival, having a blast. To kick things off, I overslept a bit. We managed to get out the door pretty quickly, but the kids were definitely not sunshine ready…

My favorite holiday – part one.
If knitting had a holiday, it would be a sheep & wool festival. Full of community, excitement, sheep, and the tools of our trade. For me, it’s the Maryland Sheep & Wool Festival–which just so happens to be this weekend. I’ve had a fantastic weekend so far, some me time, some time with the kids,…

Plants, plans, and progress.
I may have started every single blog post in April with some comment about how ready I am for spring to really be here. Well, it’s here, friends. Today is the last day of April, and I think we’re really there. First of all, I finally planted my wee container garden. It was a gorgeous,…

Sometime in April.
I believe spring has sprung. The weather is warming up, we spring cleaned the bedrooms, and a delightfully spring-y colored pair of socks has fallen off of my needles. These are my April rainbow socks, pair #4 in my rainbow box o’sox. The yarn is from Kntitterly Things, from the 2017 Rainbow of the Month…
