What do you do with the framed stitching that you keep? Do you hang it up and leave it in one place, never to move it? Or do you have a rotation, where you have one place for stitched pieces and switch them out according to mood or season? Maybe a mixture of both?
The more […]
I have a bunch of sets of sock needles, but only one of each size. The size I decided I need for the Amble socks had wandered off. I thought I remembered what happened to them. It was just a matter of finding them. I was sitting here wondering where they could have hidden themselves, […]
Woohoo! My first pair of self-striping socks is off the needles. I can’t wait for the weather to turn so I can wear them! I’m just delighted. They were quite fun to knit. Now I’m ready to start a new pair. I’ve pulled out a delightful ball of red sock yarn that I’ll use to […]
Certain formatting issues in my blog weren’t behaving the way I wanted, so I spent a bunch of time and completely redid the template, starting with a different one completely that had the features I wanted. I then re-defined the styles, and you can see the results. In a lot of ways it looks just […]
I’m stitching flowers! The pinks and fleshy tones are delightful. So far this rotation I filled in some at the top right to get to the edge of the chart page, then started working down and toward the left.
When the painters came back on Friday, they replaced more boards on the main deck! They’ve gone this far, there’s one more that should be replaced. We practically have a brand new deck out of this. Yahoozie.

Woohoo! I won my two auctions last night, and so the two beautiful balls of Opal Uni, one in green and one in purple, are mine. I considered getting a pretty blue yarn instead of the purple, but ya know, all of my store-bought purple socks are about worn out. I clearly need a new […]
Whether based in fact or fiction, the legends of King Arthur have been the inspiration for many novels including Le Morte D’Arthur by Sir Thomas Malory, The Once and Future King by T. H. White, The Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley, The Arthurian Saga series by Mary Stewart, and even A Connecticut Yankee […]
This is my progress so far on sock #2. I’m getting there! One of these days I’ll even finish so I can start the current sock over at the Six Sox KAL. I’m definitely looking forward to trying out that Gansey sock. Looks like fun. I simply have to finish this sock first!
I’m on a book re-reading kick. I finished H.P. and the Half-Blood Prince the other day, and promptly plunged into a series that I’ve already read twice in the last year. I’ve never done anything like this before. Maybe it’s the upheaval of having the windows covered for the last few weeks that has done […]
