Being a very bad girl and blogging from class. Biblical Languages and Interpretation, to be specific, where I am learning that the Hebrew script has a lot in common with D’ni. If anyone gets that reference, I will be thoroughly amazed, and I will have to get together with you for a major nerdfest. But … More In Trouble
We had a lovely three days and nights in Ligonier, PA. See my facebook for the full photo extravaganza. We partied, we played games, we hiked, we read, I knit until I ran out of yarn. Two days later I’ve been so busy still playing around and working at my NEW JOB that all I … More Fly By
Jared & I are going to be away for a few days – escaping civilization to spend half of reading week in the mountains. I can’t wait to get away from it all and spend a little time somewhere that’s just different. But while we’re gone, allow me to leave you with this long-awaited view … More Chateau of Love
There has been a notable dearth of spinning in my life, and that’s because all extra fiber energy has been completely devoted to cleaning, dyeing, and carding fleeces for Breezy Willow. So that it gets done before I die, I’ve decided that Fridays are for Fleece, in all its various stages… and here’s what I’ve … More Fridays are for Fleece

The beautiful weather we’ve had has meant that our new home appears as cheerful and welcoming as any place would, which we’ve appreciated… but all too soon … More No, I’ve never been to Boston in the Fall

Elizabeth Zimmerman, the mother of knitting empowerment, herself said something like, “I have found many women employ the same darning technique I do. They hold the sock aloft, exclaim ‘darn!’ and drop it … More Reinforcing Heels
I was hoping to write about my fair isle border being all done by now, but it’s NOT done. Here is the story of why: I LOVE working on this because each row is different and it’s beautiful to my color-loving heart. But I’ve also been bit by the dying bug. First I tried … More Knitting and Dying and Knitting some more.
I finally got my entries back from the State Fair – I moved before the fair ended, so I didn’t get my stuff back until this week. Now that it’s all in one place, I think I can say I did, um, hm, pretty well! It’s a little weird coming right out there and tooting … More The Haul
Just over a week into October, the fuscia kilthose are going along at an obedient clip. It looks like this. Looks kind of weird, eh? That is, believe it or not, right side out. That’s because this sock, ladies and gents, has a fold down cuff. Yes, its really true – On this already tiny-needled, … More Two inches forward and one inch back
Dear Mom, When I finally finished the corrugated ribbing on my sweater, I had exactly one thing to say: LOVE. love love love love love. I was a little iffy on the gradation of blues, but the gradation of naturals is so completely perfect that it ties it together just right. At the beginning of … More Dear Mom – ribbing done!
