Interests: Knitting, Violin, Spinning, Cooking, Soap Making.. and a lot of other new ventures to blog about this year. I hope to share and I hope you enjoy.

Hi Anna.. so nice to see you here. I got a big smile to see familiar blog friends. Soap is definitely fun. Baby soaps, that is a good idea. (wheels are turning..)

Happy New Year - It is 2014, and I am blogging
Hello to my friends and family! I have made the decision to blog again. I had this blog and the book blog all set up from over two years ago. I can't seem to get into my book blog (www.acirclofbooks.blogspot.com) and I am eager to start, so here I am on TypePad. I had always found keeping the ...

A Season of Thanks...
Happy November 2011. That just sounds outrageous to me! It has been so utterly gorgeous this past week with all the sunshine and fall leaves. I just am utterly tickled each and ever day on my ride to work. I have snapped a shot with my camera and Ipad here and there. I will have to look to s...
Thank you Deed!!! I do love it, I am so happy it fits. :)

March 2011 Busy Hands
Happy March. I haven't been blogging, but I have had busy busy hands. I haven't been blog hopping much either. I miss my knitter friends blogs, not to mention my reading buddies blogs. The days get longer and I am inclined to be busier later each day. Hopefully that bodes well for blog readi...
Thank you Deed! I am enjoying my projects. I really don't know how some do it ALL.. the social networking is overwhelming to me these days. I NEVER thought I'd say that.
It is all about balance. I can't live the life of a retired person. I have come to realize that.
Thanks for always being there.

The Alaska State Fair: My Knitting Entries
It has been a very long time since I have composed a blog. On fact, I've never gone this long without a post. First of all, my computer crashed and my hard drive was fried. This happened in June when I was traveling to Talkeetna or Sheep Mountain almost every week-end to do some extra biking, ...

Thank you Lorraine. I like to knit others fabulous designs.... that is where my head is right now.... designing hurts my brain and I am deficient in the art of coloring a chart... I will put in one last good effort....then I will be content to knit Starmore, yours and Eunny's Fair Isles to my hearts content. :)

I should have read Knitting Without Tears. I have never read it because I am of the mind if something makes me cry, then it needs to get sh@#! - canned! right? My knitting has me pretty sobby wobby and frustrated. It shouldn't but it does. And I need to do a lot of frogging... and to be ho...
I got to thinking of them on a larger lever and thought they might look bad... I am no designer...don't have the talent or head for it.

Sunday Knitting - never enough
It just seems there should be another 4 hours added to Sunday for knitting. I had a few quiet moments after my grandson left so I sat down and got reacquainted with Golden Gate. I only knit two rows. I had a lot on my mind and some chores to do. I hit some watering, weeding and chores. I cou...
Yeah...you know..feast or famine... I am knitting, reading and blogging, yet, I am not blog reading. I gotta get over to your blog and catch the haps!! Thanks for stopping by.

Always time for a little tomato cotton knitting right? Unspoken rule?
