Four Minus Two Is Not Two
Wow…Stephanie Pearl-McPhee did remember to look up my blog, and she didn’t just like the post, she *loved* it. And so many of you did, too. I am chuffed and overwhelmed by this response. I never expected feedback of that magnitude or intensity, and I certainly never intended to make readers cry. Heck, somebody clicking…

I Was Going To Write About Other Things
I was going to write about my finished cowl, and I was going to write about my attempts to organize my stash. But then I went to Changing Hands to see Stephanie Pearl-McPhee. So clearly, I’m going to write about that. I signed up to go see her the second I read (on her blog)…

Going Gothic
Happy Tuesday, people! I am happy to report that I discovered two of the circular needle pouches that were MIA: one crammed in a corner of the notions shelf (understandable) and another in a pile of papers on my desk (just wrong). I may need to do a stash deep-clean soon: in addition to the…

While I wait for the stars align, I will attempt to distract you with random posts…

At this rate, we will be staring down summer before March arrives. Come, everyone. Come and bring your cold, your dark, your sleet and snow. We haven’t done…

WIP Wednesday
Like the start of this shawl, I started the week a little rumpled and out-of-sorts. So Monday’s tidying-up post became Tuesday’s tidying-up post, and now here we are, on Wednesday morning, finally posting. Ever have one of those weeks? I survived the PINK-ness. As I had hoped, the unbridled exuberance of the color was…

How Much More Pink?
As a general rule, I love color. Pops of red, rich browns, soft grays, soothing blue and a snap of orange: all these colors are lovely. Longtime readers know, of course, that I will drop everything and swim through an alligator tank to get to any shade of green. But the pink is bringing me…
