Lifelong yarnaholic and craft junkie. I'm on a quest to learn all I can about knitting, and I plan to take you with me!
Knitter’s Bookshelf: Show of Hands
I’m finally getting back to the pile of knitting books on my shelf! Most recently I read two books on mittens and gloves – both were very good in different ways. The first is not a new book. It was published originally in the US in 2011, so it has been around a while. For… Continue reading Knitter’s Bookshelf: Show of Hands
Adventures in Dairyland: Oshkosh and Neenah
This is going to be picture heavy! Today DH and I went out for a multi-part adventure in the nearby towns of Oshkosh and Neenah. In Oshkosh, we went to the Paine Art Center and Gardens for two different events – an exhibit of Hmoob embroideries and Rooms of Blooms, a flower show. The embroideries… Continue reading Adventures in Dairyland: Oshkosh and Neenah
Aaaaaaalll the Shiny Things!
So many shiny distracting classes, patterns, books and clubs going on right now! Because that’s how I roll, I’ve signed up for a number of the shiny distracting things that have appeared this spring. Starting March 1, I will be taking the Colour at Play online course with Felicity (Felix) Ford. This seems to be… Continue reading Aaaaaaalll the Shiny Things!
Baking Experiment: Coffee Cake
It’s been a while since my last baking experiment! I was planning on lemon meringue pie, but had some ingredient issues. So instead, coffee cake! I used this recipe from Preppy Kitchen, except I did not do the glaze. By and large, I’m not a glaze fan. It turned out pretty well! The cake is… Continue reading Baking Experiment: Coffee Cake
Sock it to Me Monday
I started a pair of socks for DH over the weekend. I don’t know why the picture is posting sideway, but you get the idea. Socks! I’m not using a pattern, just my usual toe-up, two-at-a time method. The yarn is Lang yarns Horoscope One Twin Silk in the Aquarius colorway. I made him a… Continue reading Sock it to Me Monday

This weekend I took some online classes with Rowan Connect! Rowan offers online events throughout the year, sometimes just short previews of upcoming magazines or collections, sometimes multi-day events. This weekend was a multi-day event called Rowan Connect. They offered a bunch of different classes Friday through Sunday, and a number of complimentary events as… Continue reading Rowan Connect
On the Mend
Tonight I did something I rarely do – mended some socks. These socks have been laying around waiting for me to either fix them or throw them away for months now. But it’s finally done! This one had an area that was wearing very thin, to the point it was going to develop a hole… Continue reading On the Mend
Mitten Monday
And just like that, the Reindeer Moss mittens are done! They turned out a little long, so I threw them in the dryer for a few minutes after I soaked them for blocking, and that did the trick. This pair is more my Mom’s colors than mine. But I think there is enough left of… Continue reading Mitten Monday
