The current Geek-A-Long square is moving a bit more slowly than the others. It’s straightforward to knit, and I like the design, but I’ve been distracted with other things. Work, of course, but more importantly, yoga. I think I’ve mentioned here before that one of the big revelations of my …
Howdy, knitters! Sorry for the radio silence around here. I’ve been knitting, working, yoga-ing, reading, knitting . . . you know, the usual. There has been ongoing Geek-A-Long knitting, and the most recent square was a challenge! Check it out: This is the Psychonauts square. See the question marks in the bottom …
I might be in love with the Travel Shawl. Folded in half it’s a cozy shoulder wrap. Opened up, it’s a bigger wrap. Or even a small blanket. And it’s a fairly quick knit. I knit all but a tiny bit of the beginning and the outer edge during a …
I love it when I’m wearing something handknit, and it turns out to be absolutely perfect for the occasion. My friend D and I went on a hike yesterday. When I was getting ready, I couldn’t decide how to dress. It was in the forties but was supposed to get …
Today’s post is brought to you by the letter “F”—as in, finished object, forests, and famous walkers. Here’s the finished object. The Travel Shawl is off the needles! It was a great knit. I’ll say more about it later when I get some better photos, but the bottom line is …
We were snowed in for a couple of days over the weekend. It hardly ever gets so snowy and icy that we can’t get out, but Jonas was intense while it lasted. The raised beds were completely buried by the time the snow finished falling. The chickens refused to come out …

So I didn’t win the 1.6 billion dollar Powerball jackpot. Shoot. I had big plans. I took heart when I heard that one of the winners was from Chino Hills, CA. That’s where my cousin lives. I sent her a message. She didn’t win either. I’m finding solace in the …
No one can build you the bridge on which you, and only you, must cross the river of life. There may be countless trails and bridges and demigods who would gladly carry you across; but only at the price of pawning and forgoing yourself. There is one path in the …
Where to start? (Please ignore Elvis the Rooster for the moment.) Sometimes I don’t know if I’m fifty or five. I’ve been in an absolute funk for days because yarn I ordered to start my Geek-A-Long blanket seemed to have disappeared in transit. I placed the order at the end …
