Back in April, I had every intention of blogging. I even felt all cocky that I had a great theme for my next post. While we were watching the Band of Brothers series, I knit on a WWII Watch Cap for Dan. The hat turned out great and the day I finished it was one… Continue reading Picking Up Where I Left Off

Bonny
First things first, I have an update to my last post: I found my hat! Good news, because it's snowing again this morning. Supposedly it will all melt this afternoon. I'm ok with April showers but I have to say, I am over the snow. I finished a Bonny top that I had hoped to… Continue reading Bonny
I Want My Hat Back
Have You Seen My Hat? * I think I lost my hat. I make a lot of hats and wear a lot of virtual ones. I really only wear one hat. This one, my Solitude Dots. I bought the kit at Rhinebeck in 2014. I know I wore it to the Y while taking one of… Continue reading I Want My Hat Back
Winter Blues
After three nor'easters in two weeks (and rumors of another storm to keep an eye on next week) my love of winter is flailing. The middle storm of the three was the worst for me. Power was knocked out for several days and an uprooted tree sat on the wires for a few days longer.… Continue reading Winter Blues
For the Love of Socks
Thanks to a quick kid-free getaway at the start of the month, I made a lot of progress on the socks in my last post. And now they are all finished! Finished Socks for the Family I used the Breamish pattern for each of the kids, with a Fish Lips Kiss Heel, and they are… Continue reading For the Love of Socks

My nephew lives in Thailand but has been visiting for Christmas so yes, knitting a wool sweater was absolutely a good… Continue reading Little Dude Sweater
Little Sparkly Legwarmers
This is a post that is 100% in favor of having and maintaining a healthy yarn stash. Ages ago (June of 2011 according to my Ravelry notebook), I picked up skeins of Kollage Glisten in red, thinking it would make a fun Koolhaas hat for me. The yarn has sat in the stash untouched. Fast… Continue reading Little Sparkly Legwarmers
Greyhound Sweater
Greyhounds are a unique breed, no doubt. We met Lincoln back in February, on one of the coldest days of the year and he seemed totally happy to be out for a walk without a coat. Maybe because it was all new and different in retirement? Anyway, as the temperature changed over the months we… Continue reading Greyhound Sweater
Not Rhinebeck
My social media feeds are full of Rhinebeck prep. Everyone is getting excited for New York Sheep and Wool with good reason. It is a fabulous event! A Rhinebeck trip is not in the cards this year for a number of reasons. I'll probably join in on #notrhinebeck this weekend! I tried to remember what… Continue reading Not Rhinebeck
Sending a pineapple to Hawaii
It's a super sweet, super quick post this week. Maybe October will be better for blogging? Anyway, I made a pineapple! My good friend Jenny moved from outside Boston to the tropics of Hawaii! Jenny is one of those really great people in this world who seems effortlessly cool. She is adored by everyone and gets… Continue reading Sending a pineapple to Hawaii
