This blog week is definitely making me think about what I do with my craft. Today's topic is a photography challenge. Writing my posts at the end of the day is both good and bad. Good in that I can check out all the other posts on this topic to get a feel for what … Continue reading 3KCBWDAY2 – Photography Challenge Day
KCBW2012 Day 1 – Color
I had not heard of this, but after reading Rock + Purl's post today, I took a trip over, and thought it sounded like fun! So, in the spirit of Kim Werker's Rut Race, I'll try this for the week! Plus one week seems like a smaller bite than the 30 days I did last … Continue reading KCBW2012 Day 1 – Color
What was I thinking?
I need to remember the sun starts to disappear around 3:30 around this time of year. No pictures today.
WIP Wednesday
Well, now that the sun sets so very early every day pictures are even harder for me to take. Fortunately for my record keeping purposes I'm not much of a picture purist. So, for this WIP Wednesday I've got a couple of project shots from 2 of my 3 current projects: The Cambrian Cowl is … Continue reading WIP Wednesday
Meeting in the middle
What a wonderful day! As many knitters know this weekend was the NY Sheep and Wool Festival. Hard as it is to believe after reading blog posts and twitter feeds this week, not everyone does know about it. Regardless, it is an event that I like to go to, since we live relatively close to … Continue reading Meeting in the middle

You can feel it in the air - the 90 degree days are pretty much behind us now, the evenings are getting cooler, and twitter streams are turning to cooler winter wear. In fact I even saw reference to a Rhinebeck sweater yesterday! I've been trying to find motivation to work on my Dale sweater, … Continue reading When the weather starts to turn
Slow and Steady
I've been trying to work on my Keelin when I have time and not feeling rushed. I want to finish this sweater with the care that it deserves. This weekend I had some time by the pool, so I finished seaming: Since I finished my socks I've been itching to start my Dale of Norway … Continue reading Slow and Steady
Knocked our socks off
While many kids around the country are already out of school, the schools here are just now wrapping up. I tend not to do individual thank you gifts for teachers. I figure they have enough "stuff," and I'm just not a big gift giver in general. I've noticed that some knitters do a lot of … Continue reading Knocked our socks off
Rainy Days
I'm not a big fan of finishing. So, when I finished the sleeves for Keelin, I put it to one side. I knew it needed blocking, and seaming, before I could start working on the rest of the sweater. I also know I tend to rush through it, and then I'm not happy with the … Continue reading Rainy Days
So what is next?
As I read through my older posts, I realized I'd never talked about my next project. I am pretty excited about it. It's a more complicated sweater than I've done in a while, but I really am looking forward to working on it. It's a Dale of Norway Sweater: This winter a friend of mine … Continue reading So what is next?
