Still Knitting
Hello, dear readers. This may look like a picture of ribbing, or the beginning of a ribbed beanie, but it is actually a picture of three weeks. Three weeks is a long time in blog land, but in real life it went by in a snap. In these three weeks, I had my first tenure…

Planning
Today in the US we have a holiday. I am trying to make the most of the day, alternating knitting in my jammies with lightbulb-changing and handknit handwashing. Last week at this time, Querido and I were on a train bound for Inverness and the Great Tapestry of Scotland. As I sit here, well…

Mostly Here
Greetings, dear readers, from the land of the barely awake. Few words this morning, but I have pretty things to show you. Lovely KnitCircus gradient yarn that came in the bag of funder goodies from the Great Northern Knits Kickstarter. A Talamu shawl, with the end in sight.

The Middle Bit
Yesterday I did a very impressive thing: I went into a nice yarn store, and I didn’t buy any yarn. Some friends and I were at the Yarn Barn. I don’t know what happened the first time I was there, because it didn’t seem like a particularly exciting store. Yesterday was an entirely different story:…

Everything is a Kitty Bed
Hello, dear readers. How have you been? I feel like a very bad blogger, sneaking in after a long absence and hoping all’s forgiven. Will a cat picture appease you? I finished Querido’s sweater, just barely in time for the cold weather. …If you count having four buttons instead of six as done. My vintage…

Adventurous
Well, Querido’s sweater still looks like a blob of navy blue fabric, so let’s look at something else. Francis! (Details on Ravelry) This top represents the last of my summer of top knitting. First came the Kansas Spring, then a Cap-Sleeve Lattice Top that, with one exception, flew under the radar. Francis was started way…

All the Garter
It’s been a hot weekend here in Kansas, with bright days of 100 degrees or very nearly. They have a nifty thing called a heat index here, which must have something to do with humidity because I never heard the term bandied about in Phoenix. As far as I can tell, it means that even…

Half the Year
Half the year has passed in a flash: winter, then spring, and now we are speeding through summer. This midway point has inspired me to clean out closets, to pretty up the house, and to clean up my Ravelry page. Those of you on Ravelry have probably noticed that this last is a time-consuming endeavor.…
