Am I two months behind? Really?! Oh dear oh dear. Just goes to show how CPE shoved every single thing out of my mind unless it was absolutely necessary to my sanity or my family’s continued sucking of oxygen. Now that my breather is really settling in, it is amazing how important these unimportant things are … More CSA-ccountability, Month #3 – June/July
To the chairwoman of the Self-Imposed Sock-of-the-Month Club, I am writing to let you know I have had enough. I joined your club nearly two years go, admittedly not at the most strategic time in my life. I had such a great run with your program the first time around, that after a nice break, … More I’ve Had It
Now that I once again have more than an average of five minutes a week to knit, I need to take a hard look at my unfinished objects. A re-orientation to my project basket, if you will. All I want is to tuck myself in a corner and spin some of the pretty yak/merino I … More Inventory Again
After over a month’s break from knit-blogging, where do I begin? I have spent the last two months experiencing life as I have never experienced it before. I spent 35 hours a week at a job in the city. That job consisted mostly in just talking to people about their lives, their families, and their … More I’m Back
You’re my friend, right? So you’ll pretend this was posted a week ago. Because what’s a week in the grand scheme of our lives? Well, come to think of it, a week is a lot when you’re dealing with fresh vegetables. It’s hard to believe that in the middle of May, just a little more than … More CSA-ccountability – Month #2, May/June
The title of this post is misleading, because I haven’t had time to knit every day since CPE started four weeks ago. In fact, during week three, I went three days without knitting a stitch before I even noticed. “A few” refers to the average number of stitches I knit if you counted all the knitting I’ve … More A Few Stitches a Day
Day 2: Standing outside a closed door for the first time. Trying to knock on my first door, but having trouble getting my hand to obey my brain. I repeat to myself, “This won’t be easier tomorrow. This won’t be easier tomorrow.” Until I knock. The first door doesn’t open. The second door hides someone who … More Snippets
Four weeks. That was the time allotted to me, in between my last assignment due and my first day of CPE, to transition to a very different way of life. And it was a month jam packed full of transitions. In the last four weeks I received a Master of Divinity degree, met … More A Glimpse of the Blur that was May
Did you think I’d forgotten how to knit? Sorry dearies. The truth is, I have had precious little knitting time this month. No more classes to sit in + No books assigned to read + A lot of writing to do = not more than a few stitches here and there. Cooking is a little … More Rivendell
For those of you who have been having trouble accessing the blog lately, I sincerely apologize. There are some weird problems going on, that neither me nor my husband has really had time to fix, and that our various service providers aren’t taking very seriously. I hope to get this sorted soon, but I don’t … More Sprouting Experiment the Second
