The greatest lesson in life is to know that even fools are right sometimes. ~ Sir Winston Churchill It's the start of a new month. March is normally all Malabrigo all the time. This year I took a slightly different approach. I cast on a few new projects, but I also kept knitting on a few…Read more Malabrigo March Comes to an End
Knitting Projects
Bold Betty: February Edition
If those men can do it, I can do it ~ Emma Gatewood Last month, I received a lovely green bag to match my hand dyed yarn from Downtown Dye Works. The color is Hiker with Heart. My coaster with the crucial Bold Betty information was delayed by a month. The yarn is in honor…Read more Bold Betty: February Edition
BBQ: The First
It is a miracle that barbecue survives formal education. ~ Albert Einstein With snow covering the ground and the British Hubby recovering from his cold, Saturday we ventured into the world of smoking meat and BBQ. We needed a new grilling apparatus. Our new one uses wood pellets and has the option to smoke meat. Since…Read more BBQ: The First
Winter Still Clinging On
Bad weather always looks worse through a window. ~ Bill Lehrer Yesterday morning, the British Hubby and I woke up to snow! It was little more than a dusting that was already melting on our back deck and front yard. I must admit the cold nights have been great for my allergies. I know most…Read more Winter Still Clinging On
Conspiracy: The Invaders
Once you go alien, you never go back. ~ Gini Koch Have you ever wondered if there were visitors from other planets walking among us? How would we know? Would their little finger stick out straight?

Normally, I would have about 10 new projects cast on for Malabrigo March. This year I took…Read more Malabrigo March Comes in Like a Lamb
Bulbs, Birds and Books
Some days you just have to create your own sunshine. This weekend, my allergies hit with full force. Things are starting to sprout. This makes the pollen count high. I noticed these bulbs on our back deck. This Spring, we added some bird feeders. The kitties love them. The birds love them. The birds are especially…Read more Bulbs, Birds and Books
Mystery and Intrigue in Knitting: Clue 2
The final mystery is oneself. ~ Oscar Wilde 2018 is the year of Mystery, Intrigue and World Domination. I've interpreted this theme to challenge myself and stretch outside my comfort zone in all areas of my life. At the day job, I'm trying to think of challenges as growth opportunities (this one is a continual…Read more Mystery and Intrigue in Knitting: Clue 2
Saturday Morning Decadence
All happiness depends on a leisurely breakfast. ~ John Gunther A typical Saturday morning at our house included some type of low-carb breakfast casserole or quiche. This week, my seasonal allergies have started. Roughly translated, my energy levels are sub par. So we splurged and had eggy on toast! Doesn't this look decadent? Yum! The rest of…Read more Saturday Morning Decadence
The First, My Last, My Everything
You're my sun, my moon, my guiding star. ~ Barry White It's the last day of February. My group photo this month is a little sparse. It's the first cast on and the last completed wip for the month. Presenting Alipuns I. I decided to make this a beanie instead of slouchy and not add…Read more The First, My Last, My Everything
