I went to bed last night and realized, I meant to do a round-up blog! I gotta admit, having multiple avenues to express oneself is awesome, but I’m still learning the rhythm of it. Not all of y’all have subscribed to the Wool Circle, and even though it’s easier and faster in some ways to … More September 2024 Round-up: Oh yeah
This post is going to be an absolute potpourri of events and vibes. About the only thing these subheads have in common is that that they all happened in the same week. When you get to the end of this post, will you find common threads? The most distinct description of this week was that … More Tour de Ireland Part 4: A Bit of the Republic of Ireland
Not many of our day trips will get a post of their own, but this was a special one. Not just because what we saw was amazing, but because we all had fun the whole time. If you’ve traveled with kids, especially sensitive kids, you know how hard it can be for everyone to be … More Tour de Ireland Part 2: The Giant’s Causeway
The Tour de Fleece ended just a few days ago. No at all coincidentally, I am really behind on summarizing our trip so far. We’ve been in Ireland about a month now. We’ve been resting, doing work, adventuring about the place, and of course I’ve been spinning. I’ve been posting regularly on Instagram, but in … More Tour de Ireland Part 1: Lisburn and Carrickfergus
I don’t know if I can sum up our time in Switzerland briefly. When we went, I just didn’t know what to expect. We put ourselves in the hands of beloved family members, who we hadn’t seen in a long time. They blew us away with their generous hospitality, and Switzerland blew us away with … More Mid-June 2024 Roundup: Switzerland

It’s done, it’s done, and it’s time to talk about it! I finished this capstone pullover back in March, actually. I had so much fun knitting it that it was finished in just a couple weeks. But now, I’m about to talk about it on the next episode of the Wool Circle, so I wanted … More Capstone Sweater: Finished
We’ve been planning this sabbatical for a while now. So it seems pretty incredible that we’re actually getting on a plane on Tuesday, and that we won’t be back in the saddle of full-time, in-person ministry for four months. Right now it’s hard to look back, because we’ve been doing so much looking forward. But … More March n’ April 2024 Round-Up
It’s been a while since I talked about my “Track 2” sweater project! I’ve finally had the big reveal of this yarn on the Wool Circle: Episode 115 this month. These are all progressive yarns, made of several combo spins that change and shift through the length of the yarn, so there’s only so much … More Capstone Sweater: Yarn!
I’ve been in a bit of a verbal creative block lately. I’m certainly creating a lot of stuff, but I’m having trouble wording, at least anything longer than an Instagram caption. I think when Jared left on his week-long trip in mid-March, part of my brain just compartmentalized. I need it to wake up now … More I Turned Thirty-Eight
