Where Knitting is Life and Life is Good
Learning to keep track of your yarn stash is something of an artform. It’s easy if you’re one of those organized folks. I’m not. Mr. Honey walked in, looked inside, saw the bags tossed in and decided it would not do. He did his thing and in less than a day, I had a system […]
it is early July; even so, this is the beginning of the year of yarning dangerously. For the past several years, I’ve watched countless YouTube videos of yarn unboxings. Boxes of yarn being opened from all sorts of companies and I’ve even done one or two myself. This has led me to believe that there […]
Who doesn’t love a freebie? I know I love them – depending on what they are. I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t like a snake no matter how free it was. But a To Do List – that might catch my attention. Did I mention I was venturing into the design business? I have started placing […]
There is truth to the the adage the best laid plans….wait, let’s use the original language, The best laid schemes o’ mice an’ men. Gang aft a-gley. You make plans and then things go off on their own thing. If you want to read the poem, it’s worth a peek. You can try and wrestle […]

It’s the circle of life that leads us on….yeah, nice song, but that isn’t the circle that’s on my mind. The one that’s on my mind is the circle of life that is our wedding bands. We had new ones made for our 25th anniversary. These are they: We are thinking of doing a Zoom […]
My folks would be married 71 years this year and I am wanting memories of what that would be like. My father liked taking pictures but where all those photos are – no one can say. We are completely devoid of images. There’s dad with most of the grandkids and with my brother and sisters […]
Our anniversary is coming? Know what I want? I’ll tell you what I want. Nothing material. Thanks to a nice end of the year and beginning of the year and the Covid relief aid, I want for nothing material. I have yarn in weights from 2-6 and I recently went on a splurge of hooks […]
I am off on a new adventure. A new crochet adventure. A new crochet garment adventure. I blame my sisters because it is their fault. It was my fault for showing it to them so I own up to my part. This is on my hook: It is the Kanata Kerchief Tank – free on […]
