Well, I'd written a goal to write a blog post twice a week, but that seems to have fallen by the way side. Not for lack of thinking, however! One thing I've been reading and thinking about is the issue of diversity and racism and especially within on-line platforms. I've mentioned before that I use … Continue reading Making in 2019
Five times is the charm (or what is the definition of insanity again?)
As many knitters around the world (at least evidenced by instagram) I decided to cast on a new project on New Year's Day. I'd picked out yarn with my daughter for her Vermonter Hat before Christmas, so I was good to go! She'd selected Berocco Ultra Alpaca Bulky. The pattern called for super bulky, but … Continue reading Five times is the charm (or what is the definition of insanity again?)
Roses & Thorns
It's been an interesting week. Some good and some bad. Nothing gloriously wonderful and no real disasters, just a lot of ups and downs, or as we refer to them in our monthly reports - roses & thorns. All week Ace has woken me up a half hour before my alarm is set to ring: … Continue reading Roses & Thorns
Happy New Year
I really am trying something new this year. I've never had resolutions, or even done yearly goals. Two days ago I attended a vision mapping webinar, and spent a few hours working on my 2019 vision map. Today I worked some more on it, and took pen to my brand new planner and just started … Continue reading Happy New Year
Planning for 2019
I saw a post on Instagram the other day that 2019 may be the year people start blogging again. Commenters posed a number of reasons ranging from stepping away from intrusive social media sites that dictate what you see or limit what you can say to a desire to just start writing again. I've never … Continue reading Planning for 2019
Make Nine
Earlier this year, I posted about the Make Nine Challenge and was excited to participate. I hadn't decided right away what I was going to make, but I'd started a queue in Ravelry and had picked 6 for my instagram post. As it worked out, I only finished 2 of those 6, but I did … Continue reading Make Nine
Project Peace
Every year for the last few years The Healthy Knitter has organized a worldwide knit along/celebration/discussion regarding peace. She designs a special pattern, writes daily blog posts and encourages knitters to knit for peace in December. She can explain it much better than I - if you are interested go here to learn more. Ideally, … Continue reading Project Peace
Nine in 2018 and A Year of Making
I love Instagram. It inspires me and keeps me amused. This year scrolling through my feed I found a post about committing to make nine items in 2018. I have never been one to plan my knits out, but thought it sounded like a nice change for me. I sat down and realized with a … Continue reading Nine in 2018 and A Year of Making
Another Antler!
I learned this week that the little one who I'd made the blue hat for isn't due until July. Which means I should have time to make another Antler sweater.
Pondering
My morning commute has altered quite a bit this year, with the addition of a passenger. While I love the company, I do find myself with less time for podcast listening, so my subscription list has shrunk quite a bit over the past few months. However, I am open to new ones, especially when they … Continue reading Pondering
