It’s been a gorgeous day, sunny and breezy, 70° all afternoon. The day started out very foggy but by 10 am it was clear and sunny. It’s almost 6:30 pm now and we still have the house open enjoying the fresh air and sounds from a perfect spring day. We decided to dip into ourContinue reading “Clear, Sunny Weekend”

You Are Going In Time-Out!
There is something different about this photo compared to the one in my last post. I frogged about half of what I had knitted with the cranberry red yarn when I found two dropped stitches, side by side. I noticed a couple of loose stitches, turned it over and voilá! There went over an inchContinue reading “You Are Going In Time-Out!”
UFO’s vs. WIP’s
These are UFO’s aka UnFinished Objects/Projects. I haven’t worked on these on a regular basis in a year or longer. I have a summer throw blanket for the youngest grandson…who is now two years old and probably won’t need it now; a ten stitch blanket in DK weight yarn; a ten stitch blanket in purpleContinue reading “UFO’s vs. WIP’s”
It’s Time To Decide
I am ready to start the last pattern repeat on this shawl but I still have 1.4 ounces of yarn left. Do I go ahead and finish with 42 saw teeth or do I keep going and try to leave enough to bind off? Honestly I think I’m ready to bind off and just addContinue reading “It’s Time To Decide”
Happy Saturday!
Since it’s Saturday and it’s been awhile since we had a breakfast croissant from the coffee shop Brad drove in and picked up our breakfast. It was more of a brunch than a breakfast since we were both slow to get moving this morning. Up and down, cool/warm/cool weather has our joints complaining and we’reContinue reading “Happy Saturday!”
Lazy, Cold Day
It’s in the low 40’s today but feels more like the mid 30’s, damp and overcast. Brad is in his Man Cave, I heard him on the pistol range a little while ago. I’ve got my knitting to work on and Midsomer Murders streaming on Roku. He made us each an afternoon cup of coffeeContinue reading “Lazy, Cold Day”
8th Day of Christmas and A Happy New Year
Here we are! Beginning a new year. A fresh start. Resolutions. New beginnings. I like the idea of making resolutions and aiming for improvements in my life. What better time than the beginning of a new year? I’ve never kept a written diary although I’ve tried more than once in my younger years. Blogging hasContinue reading “8th Day of Christmas and A Happy New Year”
December Is Here
It’s the third day of December. For some reason it doesn’t seem like December to me but I’ll probably catch up with the rest of the world at some point. It’s a gorgeous morning here. The sun will be cresting the top of the trees soon and it will be partly cloudy and in theContinue reading “December Is Here”
Never Too Old To Learn New Tricks
This photo is a reminder of what I can do when I put my mind, and hands, to it. All of my 4 ounce bobbins ready to ply. I really enjoyed that summer. I can do it again as long as I take care of myself and stay on top of things. Age really isContinue reading “Never Too Old To Learn New Tricks”
Time To Slow Down
As you may have already figured out…I love to knit. But the lace patterned green socks took a lot out of me and with the change in weather factored in it’s time for me to slow down a bit and stick to something simple like the stocking stitch cowl. I’m using a 16″ size fourContinue reading “Time To Slow Down”
