Sounds like you need to invite someone round to work on your WIP for you! So much inspiration there! I usually pick my next project while I'm trying to finish the current one (a little incentive...you get new squishy yarn when you're done!) and I end up trawling for nice patterns on ravelry!
choosing the next project.....
How do you choose your next project? I just finished the tokyo shawl, which may be my all time favorite knit...e-v-e-r, and I'm struggling now to find something to keep my attention. (it's a rather limited attention span on a good day.) Same thing happens after I read a great book. Nothing m...
I moved to the US from Ireland and left everyone I know behind - family, friends...everyone. I found it extremely hard to make friends. Everyone I work with is about 10 years older than me and married and settled with school-age kids and they never want to meet up outside of work...ever! I tried really hard to make friends at the start but it's so awkward....I always joke that it feels as though you're friend-dating....for instance I had to cancel on a potential friend after we'd met up two and after that she never called me back....like I said awkward! It's something I wish was different and it makes me very homesick at times but I also know it's something I should work harder at!!
roots and growth.
It's been a big growing year. Our family is growing. The business is growing. And personally, I'm working on growing and creating some new friendships. A lot happened in really quick succession this summer to make me realize I needed to do this. I think it really started when I wrote this post...

I love your antique swift....perfect for that yarn!!!
happier place, continued....
Remember this? Ready to see what's inside??? Yarn for this! The Tokyo Shawl by Marianne Isager...using Isager yarns, of course. If you are looking for something buttery soft, this shawl is NOT for you. Granted, the brownish alpaca is held throughout the project and will soften the ...

That's my big fear with putting down a WIP is that I'll forget where I was at. Heck I forget where I'm at when there only one WIP on the go let alone a pile of them!!!
off the shelves....
Both book and current WIP came off shelves where they have lived for much too long. I bought A Million Little Pieces by James Frey at a library book sale frenzy years ago...it had received great reviews; it was an Oprah Book Club choice and I knew nothing about it. I don't know about y...

Thanks Ine, that it really sweet :)
Big News!!!
Even though I have a blog and I share a whole load of random things about my life, things I’m making and doing etc. I’m also a painfully private person when it comes to the things that really matter to me. One of those things is my relationship with Kathy. I never mentioned our relationship ...
Yay you finished it!! It looks fab too :)
banana, nana, bo-nana....
It's done. And it's definitely something to sing about! Some of the blooms on two of my new tallardias sort of match. (Use your imagination, OK?) Some friends and I visited this grower/distributor today; I bought 4. He had over 300 varieties. Is that GREAT restraint, or what?...
