A matter of the utmost importance

Busy busy busy day today, but I think I can spare just a moment to discuss something that I know is on everyone’s mind today: Scarves. Don’t try to deny it.  You’ve been preoccupied for the last...

Seasonal confusion

As I type, the mercury is creeping up past 62 degrees.  I’m wearing shoes without socks, a lightweight shirt, and fun daisy earrings.  Several of the windows in the house are open in an effort to...

Delusions of Springtime (and a winner!)

I should have known this would happen.  It’s practically a given.  If I’m going to spend a week being under the weather and stuck in the house, then as soon as I feel well, I am going to take myself...

Weekend Sewing

I think the book is aptly-named.  It’s the weekend, and I have been sewing. I had Weekend Sewing by Heather Ross on my wish list, and I really was going to avoid buying it and just wait for my...

Warm weather knitting

Eamonn and I were baking bread last week when he said, out of the blue, “how come you don’t knit anymore?” The honest answer?  I was in the middle of a Spring scarf sometime in April, when I got to...

Sneak Peek

It’s been a quiet week on the blog, but not so in Real Life™.  The kids started school on Tuesday, and this being the first year that both of them have a full day schedule, it’s been rather odd for...

A blur of fabric and clay

If I wasn’t so full right now from my take-out supper, I’d be curled up in my pj’s sipping a cup of vanilla coffee as I write this.  Actually, I’m too full for the coffee, but not for the pj’s.  Hm....

When it rains…

…it pours.  Finally getting over my sore neck issues, and now I have my son’s cold (but with a twist – I was lucky enough to get a fever and a headache, too).  Throw in a little PMS just for kicks, and...

Another scarf and thrift shop luck

I was rereading my last several posts and noticed how negative they were – blech!  Enough of that.  I’m in a happy mood now that most of the difficulties of the last few weeks are behind me,...

It’s all about the scarf, baby

As I (try to) write, my kids are rehearsing a fight scene from a movie they are creating for their new YouTube channel. It’s not easy to focus on patchworky things while they battle in costume nearby....

Looming again

Last week, while knitting my delicate, lightweight, super drapey red cowl, I had an idea for a chunky, heavy grayish-tan cowl I could make on the knitting loom. I’m not much of a loomer anymore. For...

There have kinda been crickets here this week, haven’t there? Sorry about that. I have been preoccupied with getting this pattern finished, and (let’s be honest here) getting sucked into social media...

Over the river and…

Another knit sliding off of my needles! Actually, this particular knit has been off of my needles for some time, but being that it is a birthday present for my mother-in-law, and I didn’t need it...

Lucky Charm Scarf

I’d been planning to come here and post some blizzard pictures, but I thought I’d wait until the boys and I finished our shoveling job. Well, they went back to school this morning, and we’ve still got...
