Instructions for living a life . . . *
I’m trying to live deliberately these days. There’s so much to be swept up in. I know you know what I mean. World things, family things, living life things . . . It can be overwhelming. I’m looking for solid ground. Knitting is solid ground. I’m slowly making progress on the sleeves of …
Rabbit Holes
Since things are feeling a bit insane around here workwise, I will make no mention of my own knitting projects today. Instead, I want to tell you about the explosion of blog serendipity that happened yesterday. I was catching up on recent posts from my favorite blogs and intending to …
Blog Love
Since all I have to show you today is the Crystal Palace yarn sweater in pieces, how’s about a list of cool knitting blogs? I’m forever in search of great blogs. I love following along with other knitters and seeing their projects and how they do things day by day. …

The Guardian and The New Yorker both published articles about this in January, but I was apparently doing something other than reading …
Ugh . . .

Walking The Walk
Barefoot Rooster posted this in January 2010. I think I’ve probably mentioned before that every now and then I find a blog I like well enough that I go back and read it from the beginning. I did this with Jean Miles, and Franklin Habit, and Crochet with Raymond, and right now, I’m …
Keep on bloggin’ in the free world . . .
Happy Tuesday, my friends! I made it through my crazy weekend of work and am happily back in the regular groove. I actually finished earlier than I’d expected on Sunday, so I had some time for weeding the garden, going for a walk (where I saw these beauties): Making my …
