A river cuts through rock not because of it's power, but because of it's persistence. I know it's December, and I'm still talking about Halloween knits. What can I say. I'm a process knitter. This isn't my primary focus right now, but mosaic knitting is a bit easier to follow than lace knitting when watching…Read more Cowl-o-Ween: Days 5, 6 and 7

The distance between insanity and genius is measured only by success. ~ Elliot Carver in Tomorrow Never Dies Our Friday night Bond movie fest continued this week with Tomorrow Never Dies.

Haunted Handwarmers: Day 13
Nothing happens without a reason. ~ Marilyn Monroe Lucky day 13! Or maybe it's a baker's dozen? (Oh man, I can tell I've been pushing myself in my workouts this week.

Cowl-o-Ween: Days 2, 3 and 4
A bad attitude is like a flat tire, you can't get very far until you change it. A few Fridays ago, I had a celebrate life post about Cowl-o-Ween. I had so much fun with the mitts, I decided to go for the matching cowl. This is a 31 day kal with pretty much the…Read more Cowl-o-Ween: Days 2, 3 and 4
Haunted Handwarmers: Day 12
The undertaking of a new action brings new strength. ~ Richard L. Evans Over the weekend, I realized I'm about to hit the two decade mark for being a knitter.

Haunted Handwarmers: Day 11
When you exhausted all possibilities, remember this, you haven't. ~ Thomas Edison Sticking to one knitting project is a challenge for me. A new skein of yarn is full of endless possibilities.

Live your beliefs and you can turn the world around. ~ Henry David Thoreau The weather is turning colder, and it's election day here in the States.

Haunted Handwarmers: Day 8
"Double, double toil and trouble; fire burn, and cauldron boil." William Shakespeare This is Halloween. This is Halloween. Okay, I maybe watching The Nightmare Before Christmas today just so I could sing that song all weekend long! In my defense, I was singing the song before I watched the movie. It's just such a catchy…Read more Haunted Handwarmers: Day 8
Haunted Handwarmers: Day 7
During the day, I don't believe in ghosts. At night I'm a little more openminded. It's the last week of October. Last week was really cold in the PNW. I need to keep knitting on these mitts. My knitted spooky themed apparel is seriously lacking. Day 7 means I'm official over half way done! I…Read more Haunted Handwarmers: Day 7
