Made by MeghanI’m (mostly) taking the day off, just like I took yesterday, and part of Friday off. And since we really can’t go on a mini road trip because of Covid19, plus Michael wants to work on the addition while the sun is shining, my ‘days off’ look a lot like gardening and cleaning – to […]
Mory knits. Rather obsessively. And I thought it might be fun to share some of the patterns she either knits or wears in Misplaced Souls (Misfits 1). Mory’s go-to hat pattern: Snap by Tin Can Knits. Mory is knitting a slouch version of this hat with her own [K4/P4] check pattern thrown in for fun […]
Me: The class schedule for Knit City 2018 is out. It looks like they have some great instructors! Michael: Do you get to fan girl? *teasingly* Oooh, is Andrea Mowry going to be there? Me: *narrows eyes at Michael**then, scanning further down the list, discovers that Andrea IS going to be teaching**gushing ensues* Ahem. And […]
… but I’m working through the editor’s (aka SFG’s) story notes for Dowser 8 today. Yep, this is what brainstorming a ‘missing’ scene looked like earlier this afternoon. I’ve also spent the day trying to convince myself that I have absolutely no need for a new iPad, even if I would totally have fun writing […]
Non-knitters will find this post terribly boring. Sorry. 🙂 But I wanted to share the knitting projects I finished in 2015. Well, at least everything I remembered to snap a picture of. It was a slower year for knitting – but two and half baby blankets will do that – and as you can see I was […]

Through all this the weather has been […]
These are Navdeep’s Christmas 2010 socks…he took possession of them last night on October 31, 2011. Yes, I am a little behind with the knitting, ahem, either that or I have too many projects on the go… Pattern: David Socks – Designed by Anne Hanson of Knitspot – as always Anne’s patterns are well written and result […]
A very lovely friend of mine turned 30 last week [ah, 30 I remember you fondly, as you blew by many, many years ago] and I wanted to help her celebrate this milestone in style, so I knit her some socks: And last Monday, in a brief sunny break, we sipped iced tea in the […]
…want to learn how to spin my own yarn. Course, it would take years to learn to produce something this gorgeous and I am not usually noted for my boundless patience. I stumbled across this most beautiful handspun yarn while shopping, for what I cannot remember, on etsy the other day: 50/50 cashmere and silk! […]
