All Over The Place

Here are some of the things I love:   Knitting Crazy Color Combinations Superheroes Villains Cool Graphics Smart Writing Nerds You know what? There’s a blog for that!!! This week I found Lattes and Llamas. The very first blog post I read was titled, “2015 Geek-A-Long: Dr. Doom” and started …

I Missed You!

Oh, my knitters—I’ve missed you! I got on a post-every-day roll there for awhile and was really enjoying checking in regularly, but then life happened. You know what I mean—work got crazy, things that were done suddenly became undone, etc. The fact that the last episode of The Americans aired …

Chickens and Eggs

Yesterday, I finished the left arm of the 28thirty cardigan. One arm to go. No pictures, but I should have lots of pics of the finished sweater to show you soon. The day was so beautiful that when I got through with work I went outside to catch up on …

Why Blog?

Do you ever think about why people blog? I think about it all the time. I wonder what motivates people to do it, what they get out of it, whether blogging is a  service (an offering?) of some kind, or if it’s an indulgence, blog as verbal selfie. Where there’s a …

Picture Day

  The weather is beeeeeautiful here today! It’s so nice that I spent several hours outside putzing around the yard and wandering off taking pictures even though I had work to do. I promised dogwood photos a couple of days ago, and here they are. The pink ones are new to …

In the news . . .

Knitting on the 28thirty cardigan is moving happily forward. I need to take some pictures. Tomorrow. I promise. In the meantime, the news is full knitters doing interesting things. I absolutely love the idea of people on faraway northern islands sitting by the fire with a warm cup of tea …

This Shawl!

  Spring has come to the mountains! It was 85 degrees today, and the dogwoods are blooming. I need to take a picture of them to show you. They were blooming when we moved here two years ago, and it seemed like a good omen—first, because anything having to to do …
