Okay, so that makes you think about Christmas, right? Well I'm talking about autumn, Halloween, Thanksgiving AND Christmas.It's finally cold enough to wear my socks, sweaters, hats, scarves and mitts! I have decided that my go-to item when the weather turns chilly is a soft and snuggly cowl. It's loose enough to not choke me… Continue reading It’s the most wonderful time of year

I have fallen down on my promise to blog more than once in a blue moon. If I had even posted once in a "super moon" you would have gotten 3 posts from me this summer. I have completely lost track of time and was fairly horrified to see that my last post was in… Continue reading Fall? Yes, I believe I’m ready for it!

I looked at the calendar today and couldn't believe it was already June!Update on the International Granny Square Swap that I've been part of since January. I've completed about 65 of 70 squares and, after next week, will ship the last packet! I've lost count of how many squares I've received back so far but… Continue reading June? Time is FLYING!

It is also my daughter's birthday month and October brings my wedding anniversary, mother's and brother's birthdays. Not to mention volleyball season, Oktoberfest and… Continue reading Welcome sweater weather!

That's my excuse (and I'm sticking to it).What I have been doing this summer is some knitting. Let me catch you up to… Continue reading Wow, Summer is going, going, gone!

Cross one off my fiber bucket list -- I was able to attend the 40th anniversary Maryland Sheep & Wool Festival in Columbia, Maryland. MDSW is the largest Sheep and Wool event on the eastern seaboard and, quite likely, in the US.The trip was sponsored by a local yarn shop, Bliss Yarn Co. About fifty like-minded individuals… Continue reading Maryland Sheep & Wool 2013

I am looking forward to a long weekend with my besties as we travel to the Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival in Columbia, Maryland on May 3-5.I wanted to get a quick blog post in prior to that trip… Continue reading Spring has FINALLY arrived!

Back in November I mentioned that I had joined a traveling sock circle through the Knitter's Brewing Company forum on Ravelry.At the time, I had a pair of toes that I was sending off to be knit on by 8 other knitters located both in the US and in Canada.Now, almost 5 months later, my… Continue reading The traveling socks have returned!
