Anything over and done gets its day in the sun.
This is what my house looks like right now. Pretty much every room of my house. That ungainly large box in the foreground, actually two extra-large boxes nested one over the other, is my attempt at safely packing my mostly-diassembled Ashford Traditional spinning wheel. Because we are moving our possessions by sealift (read: boat), our … More Everything Is Boxes
The toddler is actually asleep during the daytime. The six-week old is swaddled and staying asleep while not physically attached to me. At the same time. This is the first time this has happened in weeks. Welcome to my life! The adjustment to having two kids has been… about what you’d expect. We had our “babymoon” … More There Should Be Two of Them
It all started with Bird Bingo. Literal Bird Bingo. Jared’s dad had gotten this game for N’s birthday – she had a thing for a random animal matching game at Mimi and Granddad’s house, and this was a close replacement – and sure enough, N loves it. We don’t actually play bingo, of course; we dump … More The Booby Slippers
Hooray, baby is here, we’re all very happy about it, now back to talking about knitting! Baby M gets a particularly early start as a sock model, at only six days old. She looks pretty excited about it, don’t you think? Yes, I chose the route of self control, and before starting another thing, I … More Labor Socks
This is the story of Martha Elanor’s birth – the whole story, no text omitted. Fair warning: I am pretty thorough in my description of what happened, which gets a little specific in the medical quarter. If that bothers you, be forewarned. All pictures are pretty modest, though. You will notice below this post a password-protected … More Easter Vigil: Martha’s Birth Story

Less than twenty-four hours after the last count, the new shawl design was cast off and blocking. (And two awesome test knitters are ripping through it, so an early-to-mid-April release is looking very good. I hope for sooner, but I also hope to be otherwise occupied very soon.) This meant I was down to two … More Don’t Get Me Started
Lent should really be a time for moral inventory, for an “examination of conscience,” as has ever and anon been called in spiritual circles. I have had ample prompting to so examine myself, not because I have been incredibly diligent with my Lenten disciplines (I haven’t), but because God is letting life do that for … More Moral-esque Inventory
My epic colorwork blanket has been done! Actually, it’s been done for nearly six weeks! I finished it just a day or two before we shipped out to Iqaluit. I took the time to snap these few pictures, thinking I’d blog about it while we were gone (ha!). Then I thought I’d blog about it … More Color Me Done
We plan to pull away from our house in about eighteen hours. I would say we are about 3/4 packed at this point, with nearly everything else staged and ready to be shoved in bags at the last moment. The house is a wreck, but it’ll keep. We aren’t really bringing that much (the hideous … More Planned, Staged, and Lifting Off
