I hope everyone who celebrates is having a happy Thanksgiving! For everyone who does not celebrate this holiday – happy Thursday! Continuing on with my Thankful Thursday tradition, here are a few more things I am thankful for: I know I said family before, but wanted to elaborate on that. I have a pretty great… Continue reading Happy Thanksgiving!
In addition to yarn ( or fabric, for quilters and other sewers), crafters need tools. Lots of tools. For knitters and crocheters, needles and hooks are the obvious ones. Your crafter may well have some needles and hooks, but I bet they don’t have “enough”. There are all kinds of fancy needles and hooks –… Continue reading Christmas for Crafters 2: Tool Time
I’m really wresting with whether or not to knit gifts for some of my coworkers. It goes without saying that my knitworthy friend Nora is getting something or the other. Maybe a cowl, maybe a phone cozy – I don’t really know yet. But something. It’s late November, so I have to decide quick.There are… Continue reading Merry Stitchmas
I got a fair amount done today – chores, laundry, a little exercise, some good progress on both Ixchel and tuck stitch cowl #2. But I think the biggest accomplishment today was re-re-re-re organizing my knitting supplies. All the re’s are there because I have a habit of tidying up and then letting everything descend back… Continue reading Getting Organized – Again
It’s Thursday again – time to count my blessings! And I promise – back to the knitting tomorrow. Twinkle/Christmas/Holiday lights.

It’s more that it’s dark more than… Continue reading Thankful Thursday 3

To help with this process, I’m going to talk about things crafters might like to receive as gifts. I plan to do at least a couple… Continue reading Christmas for Crafters
Well, this was a pretty good weekend as far as making progress on my various projects. I am so close to done with sleeve #1 on Ixchel! We found the newest season of the Great British Baking Show on Netflix, so we have been binge-watching and I have been knitting away. Just the ribbing to… Continue reading Progress, Though None of it Photogenic
For anyone who hasn’t be reading along, Thursdays this month I plan to write about the things I’m thankful for. Last week I noted the big things – family, security, etc. This week my list will be a little more personal. I actually remembered this late in the day- just as I was getting pictures… Continue reading Thankful Thursday 2
