I’m wondering if we’re in for an early spring this year. The Redbud tree is in bud but I haven’t checked to see what else may be budding out. The daffodils that got beaten down by the downpour several days ago have perked back up to some extent. It’s 5:30 pm and we have theContinue reading “An Early Spring?”

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”
A Day Of Rest
The weekend is rapidly coming to a close and I’ve enjoyed the rest and relaxation. I didn’t even do any knitting today after finishing the Hitchhiker Shawl yesterday. I don’t usually do selfies…but I wanted a photo of the shawl so… I used my cell phone and the auto click button that came with theContinue reading “A Day Of Rest”
Back To The Prayer Shawl
This has been in time out for quite some time while I worked on sock projects. I keep referring to this hand-spun yarn as DK weight. It’s not. It’s 2-ply worsted. I remember now when I was spinning it that I wanted a plump yarn and had to pay attention to keep from ending upContinue reading “Back To The Prayer Shawl”
A Slight Miscalculation
The 10 lb estimate I gave for the Allons-Y! Fiber Arts fiber stash turned out to be 24 lbs. Next up is what you see in this photo. The bottom shelf is easy. Those are 1 lb bags of fiber, all seven of them. The two baskets and the plastic bin contain samples of fiberContinue reading “A Slight Miscalculation”
Roast Beef For Sunday
I ordered a pot roast with my grocery order yesterday and put it in the crock pot with new potatoes, carrots, red onion, a cup of water and a cup of red wine after seasoning it with freshly ground sea salt and freshly ground peppercorn blend. I set it on low at 10 pm andContinue reading “Roast Beef For Sunday”
One Down, One To Go
I finished spinning the first four ounces of BFL/Tussah combed top last night and I have the next four ounces weighed out and divided into half ounce strips for ease in spinning. I swapped out the bobbins and started the next one before calling it a day at 9:45 pm. Still feeling a bit underContinue reading “One Down, One To Go”
Fourth Sunday of Advent
Once again I find myself wondering where the time has gone. Here we are, it’s the Fourth Sunday of Advent and a week from now is Christmas Day. Wow. My week of being on my feet more often and making sure I get as many ‘steps’ in as possible during each day has finally caughtContinue reading “Fourth Sunday of Advent”
Late Post
It’s nearly 5:45 pm and it’s been a long, dreary day. Brad is back at his church for their Christmas program and I’m contemplating a hot cup of coffee. The temperature finally dropped back to a more normal level for this time of the year, we woke up to a cool house and switched fromContinue reading “Late Post”
Here Comes The Sun!
It’s 8 am, 44°, the sky is clear and the sun is shining after days of cloudy, drizzly weather. It was nice to wake up and not be stiff and sore and to see the sun coming up over the trees. I can mark myself safe from Black Friday shopping online. I could have orderedContinue reading “Here Comes The Sun!”
