State of the Stash – First Quarter
Good evening, everyone! I am pushing the limits of my bedtime right now, but the first quarter has passed and April is zooming away, so I wanted to post a check-in on the state of the stash! There have been several additions this year: I already mentioned my handspinning efforts, and if you’d asked, I

Look!
Check it out, everyone, we’ve got a new look! As much as I loved my old Chunk theme, it was unresponsive and that’s just not ok in our many-platformed world. So now I’m working with Sela, tweaked to carry over the old theme’s Oswald font and happy turquoise accent. As far as I have been

Second Try
Hello again, everyone! After much angst and more hours, I can finally share one of my projects-under-wraps: We’ve moved! For many reasons, most of which are too personal and dull to be detailed here, we chose Phoenix for our home. The last time we lived in Phoenix, I invested a lot of energy in being

This Might Backfire
Welcome back, everyone! January was a perfect example of how lots of making often translates into very little blogging. One of these projects is top secret, but thankfully another is ready to show off. Inspired by the very talented makers at my local craft guild, I have cracked my spinning wheel back out and made

Not as Advertised
Greetings, dear readers, from the end of a long, dark weekend. Here in Kansas we were promised an ice storm of epic proportions that would rage on from Friday night to at least Sunday night. What we got was a cloudy but utterly dry Saturday followed by a Sunday with steady but mild rain. While

2016 By The Numbers
Thank you all for your kind words on my last post, everyone. After I hit publish on that one, I put a dent in a box of tissues, and can now put my sadness away for a while. If you’re looking for a happier post, or just want to ogle another knitter’s stash, I think

Goodbye 2016
Happy New Year, everyone. November didn’t have a post a day, as I had hoped, but I managed a respectable 18 posts, more than any other month last year. Then December arrived, and I threw myself full-tilt into holiday celebrations and secret projects… But now I am back. My fellow bloggers are celebrating the best

Take Time
Like the other days in this long weekend, today was devoted to making. Over the past four days, I have knitted, cooked, written, and sewed (and snuggled cats). Most of these projects have deadlines, some self-imposed and others imposed by outside factors. All this time spent making has been good thinking time. I don’t have

Yarn Hop Day Two
Hello All! If you are just tuning in and wondering what this yarn hop thing is about, check out yesterday’s post. All caught up? Let’s talk about day two. When I’d first proposed this scheme to my adventure buddies, I had no expectation of them spending an eight hour day with me, let alone signing

Yarn Hop
Hello dear readers! After getting myself into a grump thinking about Thanksgiving, I did my best to return to a better mood with lots of knitting. That helped a lot, and discovering that 10 Things I Hate About You is now on Netflix erased all the rest of my grumpiness. Today, I bound off my
