DH and I went on a little trip to the nearby town of Sheboygan yesterday – more about the visit in general in a few days. While we were there, we went to the local yarn shop, The Last Sheepicorn! This is a newish shop, but is in a lovely space and has pretty nice… Continue reading The Last Sheepicorn – Yarn Shop Visit!
Finally some decent progress to report! My gansey is really coming along. I’m on the second sleeve. I’d kind of like to finish it by the end of the month, though I don’t know if that’s possible. I’m focusing on it this weekend, so we shall see. My Shark Tooth Tee (Ravelry link) is also… Continue reading Friday FWIPs
The ant invasion of earlier post fame continues, though somewhat slowed down. I am using a combination of methods, including sugar+borax, vinegar, and STEM spray. The exterminator agreed that if it continues to the end of the week they will come back out and do the upstairs. They claim the stuff they used takes a… Continue reading Wednesday WIPs
Wow – where did this week go? I think it just disappeared into a cloud of general business. However, I do have some crafting progress to report! On my gansey, I’m halfway done with the patterned part of the first sleeve. That’s a lot of qualifiers, but it’s slow going with a lot of patterning… Continue reading Friday FWIPs

We had both forgotten about my 4th WIP – the Airplane scarf! In fairness, the last two are kind of on the back burner, but… Continue reading Thursday ThWIPs
Honestly, there are so many knitting distractions for me right now that they have become the plan. Here’s what I’m up to right now: Homage to the Granny Square – online class which will result in a crocheted afghan. This class just started last week, so we are still in color theory basics. So far,… Continue reading So Many Shiny Distracting Things
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
Like much of the US, we got whacked with a lot of snow Friday and over the weekend. So much of our time has been spent shoveling out and staying warm. The upper right picture is our back yarn, the other three are the front of the house at various points in our snowmageddon. I… Continue reading Snowstorms and Big Plans
