Not the blog - me! I haven't been able to knit much this fall. A new dishcloth for the new condo is pretty fair for a domestic move ...

Quilting, cleaning, veggie CSA, catching up on old projects, whomping out new projects - these are part of my summer so far. This picnic ...

Finished is another Auntie gift, started last summer. . . Or was it the summer prior? Should have been done two summers ago, as that was th...

(Tried to post this on 17 February 2016.) This gift has been a slow race to the finish.  All the placemats are now shipped and receive...

It's no wonder the blog is so quiet.  Rare enough that I email a post - seems they weren't landing correctly.  (I only caught on to ...

The simple stories can be just as satisfying as the complex ones. Hope my near and long distance knitting friends are well! The knitting her...

Holiday gift done for 2015. It has been late for several holiday seasons, but these are done today. I started the holiday gift list f...

I confess.  I sometimes don't tell all my stories because I don't want to brag. I taught a class overseas in January.  I now have a ...
