Lately my knitting has taken a turn from selfish to selfless, meaning that I am giving most of what comes off the needles away. Economic times are tough and there are many birthdays, wedding, babies being celebrated. Shopping for "meaningful... Continue reading

My neighbor and I each received the new catalogue in the mail. The in copy on page one had us gagging and laughing. I guess that they are no longer "mere retailers" but have morphed into "curators"of historical design. While they are not "following the pack"and lowering their prices, they are "liberating and abandoning their past" and embracing their future with overpriced "reproductions". By the way those books, at Marshall's with layers of red stickers, languishing on a shelf in the clearance aisle. Looks like they can't give these away.

Yes, yes..there has been some knitting going on. The summer here has been brutal, although not as brutal as in other parts of the country. After all, we're geared for hot weather. The temperatures have been in the 90's with... Continue reading

Colour Outside the Box
I love color. It shows in our home, our garden, my clothes, and my knitting. The bolder, the better. I have been bringing home color chips in the hopes of finding a color to make a change our terracotta walls.... Continue reading

My stash seems to grow much faster than I can process it. I have 154 items logged into Ravelry. That does not count the few miscellaneous balls of yarn that I can't seem to identify, nor the balls of remnants... Continue reading

Macarones and Mother's Day

It was another beautiful week here in Florida with weather vacillating between 70-something and hotter than Hades. I celebrated Mother's Day by quietly graduating college, albeit, 30 years later than most. I have left the bakery job and am taking... Continue reading

There is nothing knitterly that satisfies me more than a shawl. One can't have too many, they always fit, they're impressive in the eyes of non-knitters, they make great gifts in a pinch. What's more, they keep you warm and... Continue reading
