Finally, there is a real baby to knit for. Welcome to the world Baby Jack…born to our dear friends yesterday morning. 7 lbs 11oz and he already has a fan club. We can’t wait to see you.
This is a little left over habit/belief from my doula days. All newborns need something made just for them with prayers, [...]

My eyes get to enjoy the amazing colors.
My ears tune into the soft, steady, reassuring click of my needles, like a constant whisper that all is going well.
My nose inhales the clean, sweet, earthy smell of the wool.
My mouth wishes it could eat this totally yummy yarn.
My hands get to touch yard after smooth, warm yard.
“This is [...]

When I first met my husband his parents had a very hard time getting their minds wrapped around “the phase” their son was going through. In my attempts to practice the basic principle of karma, I tried very hard to be gracious and patient while they “came to grips”. Well it’s now 12 years later, [...]

So the last time we met I was about to cast on some Wollmeise and get acquainted…well while I love the yarn I’m wasn’t crazy about this particular colorway, 80/20 Twin Wild Thing-Paul. It was a bit to mustard-y for me. The yarn itself feels fantastic though. Somewhat cotton-y with tons of elasticity. It is [...]

…this is the poem my unbelieveable adorable husband wrote (in the comments) while I was away this past weekend. I thought is was too sweet to go unseen.
‘Twas the night before Friday’, when all through the house,
Our Bichons were blitzing, playing a game of cat and mouse
The yarn piled high in the closets with care,
In hopes that [...]

So why am I always late for work? Because every morning I go through my usual routine, I wake up (which, when you stop think about it is a really special thing that so many never give a second thought to), walk the dogs, shower, get dressed, prepare my brown bag breakfast and lunch, then [...]

Do you remember the scene in the movie Contact when Jodi Foster is strapped into the seat of the “transport” and “Houston” tells her to check her camera? Then once her “ride” through space starts she is steadfast and diligent about maintaining contact via her camera and voice recorder so she can document everything that happens. Now did you [...]

These pictures were taken about 2 weeks ago, just after the last big snowstorm we had. I thought today was a good day to share them since they reflect so perfectly what I crave most…
I just loaded this to my Ipod (I actually got it from the library. I’m only willing to spend that much money on yarn [...]

Even though there was much lamenting, they were worth it…
And they feel so good. Ranco is awesome! What’s even more awesome are the 3 other skeins I have it just waiting for me….
This is all I have left from a 376yd skein (it’s not even enough for a pair of baby socks, did I say baby)…The leg is [...]
