Knit Knit Knit

I have been busy knitting lately. And it seems like all I have been knitting lately is cowls. Although I have been working on finishing up some UFOs too. But cowls are fast and make great holiday presents. As soon as I finish one cowl, I am casting on for another one. And cowls [...]

New Ideas

Okay, a new recipe is all. On Saturday, I went to the spin-in at Paula aka Woolarina’s house. And yes, I actually spun. It wasn’t much but thanks to Kate and Jess, I was actually able to get started. I had brought some fiber and a few spindles with me for the spin in. Although [...]

Friday Eye Candy

Okay, Thanksgiving is next week. But Thanksgiving is late this year. Hopefully this will put everyone in the holiday mood.

Red Hat Friday

Last Friday, I was the photographer at a Red Hat Christmas luncheon held at the Ceresville Mansion right down the road from me. This is an old house that I remember from when my brother was in high school and mowed the grass for the doctor who owned it at the time. It is [...]

Cool Wet Autumn

It seems like autumn does not want to end here in the mid-Atlantic. And it keeps raining. And since I don’t mind the rain, that is a good thing. Actually I like it when it is misty because it is fun to go out and play with the camera. I have been really busy the [...]

Birthday Socks

ocktoberfest resulted in exactly one pair of socks being finished. One pair! But the good news is that I did not start any new pairs. And the one pair that was finished are birthday socks for my niece. And although today is her birthday, she has actually had her new socks since last Thursday. And [...]

Chocolate Equals Happiness

Okay, maybe chocolate doesn’t equal happiness to some people but it did for me yesterday. Although I am not a member of my local co-op, I tend to shop there quite a bit. I am on their email list and when I received a notice that there was a class on baking coming up, I [...]

Thank You!!

I need to send a huge thank you out to Jodi of A Caffeinated Yarn. I cleaned out my stash not that long ago and sent off a fair amount to her. The colors were so her. I knew that she would use them well before I would.
On Monday when I walked up to [...]
