Monday is the day to set aside fears; the fear of missing out, the fear of regret. Remove from your thoughts anything that suggests 'I could have' or 'I wish I had'. Action is the conqueror of all fears. If you're an 80's child, you remember Manic Monday from the Bangles. That's certainly how the…Read more Monday Mania

Winter is Coming… Are you Ready?
The more you practice tolerating discomfort, the more confidence you'll gain in your ability to accept new challenges. ~ Amy Morin It's the last Monday of July. I thought it would be great if I took a group photo of my completed MM19 wips for this month. I've made quite a bit of knitting progress…Read more Winter is Coming… Are you Ready?
To Pom Pom or Not to Pom Pom?
What did the hat say to the tie?“You hang around here…I’ll go on a head.” Last week, my knitting dilemma was to add a pom pom to Lettuce Oscar. My original plan was for a pom pom on my slouchy hat. Well, the slouchy hat decided it wanted to be a beanie so it's going…Read more To Pom Pom or Not to Pom Pom?
Let’s Hear it for Hats
How a hat makes you feel is what a hat is all about. ~ Philip Treacy Hats aren't for everyone. I'll admit I didn't wear hats that often until I started knitting. Now, I love a good hat even ones that aren't knitted. I especially love knitting hats and wearing my knitted hats. That's good…Read more Let’s Hear it for Hats

The Completed Projects of June
Great things never came from comfort zones. I wouldn't call myself a knitter on the cutting edge. My wips do get a bit out of control sometimes, but I haven't learned all that I can in the knitting world. It can be hard to push myself to learn new techniques when there are so many…Read more The Completed Projects of June
The Last Monday of June
Time flies over us, but it leaves it shadow behind. ~ Nathaniel Hawthorne Wow, in less than a week it's going to be July. The year is almost half way over. Summer solstice passed us by.

Malabrigo March Wip Update
The best mirror is an old friend. ~ George Herbert It's been awhile since I had a progress report on my Malabrigo March wips. Knitting time at the end of May and the start of June was at an all time low. It's starting to pick back up. I'm trying to sneak in small amounts…Read more Malabrigo March Wip Update
Sprouting up Buttercups
Success is to wake up each morning and consciously decide that today will be the best day of your life. ~ Ken Poirot Last year, I joined Stitch Sprouts. I worked through several projects that were meant to build my knitting skills. Okay, the class was pretty easy, but I met some new knitting friends.…Read more Sprouting up Buttercups
In the Beginning
Spontaneity is the best kind of adventure. Today's quote sums up my knitting philosophy to a tee. I admire crafters that only have a few projects on the go and see them to completion before casting on the next project. Knitting is my happy place. If casting on a new project makes me happy, that's…Read more In the Beginning
