I'm under no illusions....there is undoubtedly not a single solitary person still checking on this blog. BUT....just in case (oh, the optimist reigns) I wanted to let you know about my new covid-quarantine adventure. stephanieyoung.zenfolio.com This is actually my second attempt at writing what may be the final blog post...

the trifecta....

The three colored (purple accent) cashmere cowl by Joji Locatelli.... made from stash yarn and not cashmere... is done. It matches the three colored (lime accent) cashmere cowl and the three colored (red accent) cashmere cowl already living in my closet. I think I'm done with this pattern for awhile! Continue reading

Hi, my Friends. Shira here. Yes. I'm still ShiraPrincessoftheWorldDogYoung. And if you had any doubt about that...let me tell you about my vacation. I arrived last Monday at my old home (the Humane Society)...not as an inmate, but as a guest. They board special dogs...and I'm special. When I got... Continue reading

holding my own...

Two weeks into the new year....and I'm still attacking the stash. (For someone with the attention span of a gnat, this is very very good.) 'My cup of tea' socks are finished. The leftover ball of yarn got tossed into the bag holding the sock yarn blanket. One skein out... Continue reading

Princessoftheworld.....

Hi, my friends. Shira here. ShiraPrincessoftheWorldDogYoung. I think I know you all well enough to tell you my story. Sit down. It's not a pleasant one. See that lumpy thing on my right paw? Well, I have them all over myself. EVERYWHERE. They are some of my souvenirs from some... Continue reading

Dreaming in the new year....

Hi, my friends. Shira here. Yes. ShiraPrincessoftheWorldDogYoung. Look at my Christmas present!!!! I love it so much. It almost covers the bald spot on my neck. Of course, it doesn't do a thing for the bald spots on my legs and back and hiney, but who cares? (I really can't... Continue reading

strip knitting....

Strip knitting. No relation to strip poker. (sorry to disappoint) It's actually pretty simple...you make a strip, then attach a second strip as you knit, and a third, etc. A wonderful way to use up bits and pieces of leftovers... I made this blanket years ago from leftover sock yarn...left... Continue reading

this time i mean it.....

New Year..almost..and same old resolution, which in the past has been little more than a suggestion. This time I mean it. Really. It's time to knit down the stash and let's finish up a few UFOs while we're at it. Reminder to self: this means you cannot ADD to the... Continue reading

Party animal....that's me!

Hi, my friends. Shira here. (That's ShiraPrincessoftheWorldDogYoung in case you forgot.) I'm resting. I just saw the last of my new friends out the door and I'm T-O-T-A-L-L-Y pooped (oops, that word gets saved for special occasions) beyond tired. I went to another party tonight. It was the second party... Continue reading

holiday knitting....

Please tell me these have the possibility of passing for elf socks. I have a pen-pal....my 9 yo granddaughter...who is totally obsessed with everything elf-ish. The fact that maybe she's too old for this obsession is irrelevent. Obsessed she is...and drives her whole family crazy at the holidays and May... Continue reading

dear Sandy Paws....

Dear Sandy Paws, Shira here. ShiraPrincessoftheWorldDogYoung. For all practical purposes, I guess this is my first Christmas season. And I'm just a bit confused. Look at me! I have this wonderful sofa that is my Princess throne during the day and my Princess bed at night. I have a holiday... Continue reading

Let's talk poop....

Hi, my friends. Shira here. ShiraPrincessoftheWorldDogYoung. Let's talk poop. That's OK isn't it? I understand that was a topic of conversation my predecessor talked about quite a bit. And I totally get it. Now, I understand not all canines think that excrement is one of life's delicacies, but let me... Continue reading

some things just simply don't need to change....

I've spent a lot of time with my camera and with photoshop and with my computer these past few months. For some strange reason, I was under the impression that all those hours would have made me more adept at messing around and changing the appearance of my blog. Who... Continue reading

Hello, my name is Shira

HELLO!! I SEE YOU!!!! Shira, here. ShiraPrincessDogYoung. I think you met me earlier in the week. My mom is indisposed at the moment (bum knee, not a happy camper), so I thought I'd jump in here (since I can still jump....and she can't even walk!)and really introduce myself. Getting here...

It's been more than a while. Weeks? Months? (Maybe not years.) Long enough, I'm sure, to find that there is no longer anyone in this space but me. That's OK. I talk to myself a lot. For anyone who trips into this space by mistake, let me fill you in.... Continue reading

water water everywhere...

Somehow (well, OK, so I volunteered....)I became a water-er. A friend and I plant and maintain 5 planted pots of geraniums, ferns, and petunias at church. Same friend...with several other garden club friends plant and maintain three giant planters of whatever we think will look nice near our town's waterfront.... Continue reading

can you ever really bust the stash?

The short answer is no. The long answer is N-O-O-O-O. Believe me, I've tried. We all know the famous sock yarn blanket. This is actually the second one I made. A very (VERY) dear friend and probably the most knit-worthy person I've ever known had a house fire and lost... Continue reading

saying goodbye---for now

2004?-2019 Hi, My Friends. Freddy here. (Well, not HERE here.) I couldn't not come into this space at least one last time. Last time I wrote...a long long time ago...I said I had so much to tell that I could write forever and ever and ever. Well, THAT didn't happen!!,... Continue reading

you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear....or can you?

One beautiful skein of Swans Island fingering weight merino started it all. It's the sole survivor of souvenir yarn from Swans Island that I bought on a 2016 Maine trip with a friend. And this fall she and I are going back. How can I justify more in the stash... Continue reading

Old stash + lack of motivation = new toy

Mitered square blanket (#4), Northeasterly blanket (barely begun), and another huge basket full of sock yarn bits. Before it all gets knit into those blankets...I turned my needles to knit a pair of booties. I might knit several pairs. Maybe even several dozen pairs. There will still be plenty of...

My very steep learning curve.....

Anyone else learn best through mistakes and do-overs? I spent a couple hours yesterday looking for some awful, horrible, lousy, 'impossible-why-did-I-shoot-such-a-terrible-picture' photos (needless to say, I had more than a few from which to choose). My goal.....try to make something from nothing. The proverbial silk purse from a cow's ear?... Continue reading
