Thursday ThWIPs
I really only have one active project going this week – my Homage to the Granny Square afghan. I finished the very last block last night. Now all I have to do is connect them all together in a big rectangle!

Knitter’s Bookshelf: Used Book Trifecta
I recently hit a jackpot of older used knitting books, and am having great fun reading through them. A few of them I’m not sure I’m going to talk about here because they are pretty scarce and also pretty old. So I’m not sure you’ll be reading about the entire haul. But in any case,… Continue reading Knitter’s Bookshelf: Used Book Trifecta
Friday FO: The Coven is Done
As part of a Halloween Stitch Along I made a mini-coven of Little Witches based on members of my family and our cats. The pattern for the little pumpkins is from the same designer. The yarn is all from stash. I do have a little more finishing I’d like to do, but they were basically… Continue reading Friday FO: The Coven is Done
Anniversary Adventures: Part 1
Last week DH and I went on two short trips to check out different areas of Wisconsin. Our first destination was Wisconsin Dells! Wisconsin Dells is an area with some lovely natural features – specifically the Wisconsin river has carved its way down through the local sandstone bedrock to create beautiful cliffs and dells. In… Continue reading Anniversary Adventures: Part 1

I pre-ordered it from the author, and got the bonus items you see here – a tote bag and a little limited edition set of knitting related doodles – a… Continue reading Knitter’s Bookshelf: The Doodle Knit Directory

I’ve got 3 projects in active rotation now, and getting close to wrapping up on a few of them. Getting close on another little witch! This one is for my SIL, who loves lime green. I just need to do her hat and her cat. I’m pretty sure I have a mini-skein of the right… Continue reading Thursday ThWIPs
House Update!
We finally finished another little home improvement project – our staircase. When we first moved in, it looked like this: 1970s shag carpet, which was also all over the downstairs floor. We got rid of it downstairs almost immediately, but for some reason we didn’t get it off the stairs until now. Very fortunately, the… Continue reading House Update!
