As promised, here is a pic of the Lenny scarf in progress. I will tell you, it’s way larger than when that photo was taken. I am just about ready to add the fringe. It is already 8 feet long. That’s 96 inches. Mr. Honey is 6 feet tall and when he draped it around …

Missing Things
I’ve been missing things. Some little things, like a good thunderstorm that doesn’t knock over trees and powerlines and leaves the air smelling freshly washed. Some more important things like a church gathering where you can greet each other close up. Civility and not so random kindness. And prayer shawls like this one. I haven’t …
2020 Be Like….
2020 be like, I ain’t leaving no one untouched. For me, I lost a friend in an officer involved shooting and we lost our nephew in a bad motorcycle accident. I’ve written about that nephew. He leaves behind four young children. There’s far too much to say and nothing to say about both those events. …
Since Last We Spoke
Since last we spoke, there have been some finishing around here. The shawls, infinity scarf and patterns are completed. And here they are in all their neutral glory.. All of them made with Caron One Pound bought from JoAnn. I love how they all came out and the person who bought them loved them, too. …
The Finish Line
I can see the finish line from here. The shawls are almost done. The pattern is done and up and running,too. If you read the previous post, you will note the yarns are acting differently in terms of length. Well, that drama continues. I made the taupe shawl and darned if that thing didn’t come …

Thinking About It
When I first started on Etsy, I would spend a lot time looking at these sweaters. I loved them. There was no chance of me making sweaters – I would have had to change the path of my shop. I could do it more easily now. But I was thinking about it. I settled on …
Try New Things
In my effort to try new things, an effort I did not know I was making, I wanted to make a tortoise from the Knitted Toys book.This has been on my to do list for years. Finally did it after I saw it in one of my online knit groups. So, I did it. Not …
A Day in the Life
A day in the life of a pro knitter, well, this pro knitter, is kind of hard to describe. Some days are so busy with no knitting to show for it. Needles can go untouched when there’s behind the scenes work to do. Looking at my desk, I see a capsule of my knitting life. …
Anytime I Want
It appears as if the pocket shawl is now a thing. So, of course, I had to try and make one of my own. OK, I made two. But let me clear, I can stop making this shawl anytime I want. It’s not like I’m obsessed with it. However, I will make five more because …
