This morning, things weren't looking great for today. Both washers were running (clothes & dish and none of us had a lot of motivation. Suddenly Chad looked up and said, "we're leaving in 45 minutes." Of course Eliza & I both wanted to know where we were going. He'd decided it was a good day … Continue reading Making the long weekend count
Thanksgiving
I'm going to pass on the Booking Through Thursday post today. It's a great topic: What book or author are you most thankful to have discovered? Have you read everything they’ve written? Reread them? Why do you appreciate them so much? I don't have a quick answer to it, and I wouldn't want to short … Continue reading Thanksgiving
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
Short Weeks
So, I've just written my WIP Wednesday post. Here in the US, Thursday is Thanksgiving. Which means that this is a short week for many of us (me being one of them). This means today is like Wednesday and Thursday all rolled into one. Apparently I took that a little too literally. I really thought … Continue reading Short Weeks

I posted a brief recap right after we went to Rhinebeck, but I finally got around to downloading the pictures that Eliza took that day. She is always most interested in the animals: Unfortunately the animals weren't always very cooperative: She does appreciate the craftsmanship of the fair, as well:
November?
It was an absolutely beautiful day today. Three weeks ago I was slogging my way through a snowstorm. Today I decided I could take advantage of the weather and go for a bike ride!
Winding myself up
Yarn cakes for the cowl!
Booking Through Thursday: Still about Knitting!
Of the books you own, what’s the biggest category/genre? Is this also the category that you actually read the most? I'm going to see Warren Miller's Like There's No Tomorrow tonight, so I figured I'd jump on this right away! Beware, if you click on the link the trailer starts playing immediately. Since I've been … Continue reading Booking Through Thursday: Still about Knitting!
Back and Forth
I have one child. Like most children she has a lot of interests. We tend to encourage her to try things so she can experience as much as possible. Each season brings a new concentration. One of her serious interests is dance. While classes are based on the school year, fall is one of the … Continue reading Back and Forth
