Knitting keeps me from unraveling. ~ The Art of Knitting Casting on projects is my favorite. I love the planning part when you found an amazing skein in your favorite color and base. What could it be? The possibilities are endless. I'm a process knitter. I always have been. And I have no project monogamy.…Read more The First 2023 Cast-On: Malabrigo Mist

Friday the 13th Kicks off Monster Mayhem 2021
If you cut your hair on Friday the 13th, someone in your family will die. ~ Unknown I found the quote above online and it gave me a good chuckle.

Book Challenge: Vanishing Fleece
Be the reason someone smiles today. It's been a bit since my last book challenge book. I'm a bit behind for completing 25 books this year, but I'm not worried.

Working from Home: Weeks 55 and 56 and 57
When you're going through hell, keep going. ~ Winston Churchill It's been radio silent for a bit. Stuff has happened. I'm sure I did more then work, sleep, eat and take bathroom breaks. The reality is since I last posted there's been little more than working and sleeping with an emphasis on working. The British…Read more Working from Home: Weeks 55 and 56 and 57
