Happy fall everybody! Peanut and I (and Querido and the fuzzies) are doing well. The temperature has dropped to a positively frigid 70º in the morning, and Querido and I are turning poor Peanut into a thin-blooded Phoenician by bundling him up for his walk every morning. He's built up quite a layer of his … Continue reading State of the Stash: Third Quarter

State of the Stash – Second Quarter
Thank you all for your kind comments on my latest FOs! On the other side of the scale, I'm here today to talk about the yarn that's come into my stash in the past few months.

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 … Continue reading State of the Stash – First Quarter
In the Middle
Here we are, knitters, in the middle of the year. This holiday weekend is billed as the epitome of vivacity by cooking and lifestyle magazines, but here in Kansas it has been uniformly dour.

In the meantime, let's check in on the stash. As you'll recall, I ended last year with a lot more yarn … Continue reading About that Stash
Stash Begone
Happy Tuesday, dear readers! Today's posting will be sadly brief--I have to make my apartment acceptable to be seen by company, and I don't expect that to be an easy task.

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 … Continue reading Four Minus Two Is Not Two
