I pride myself on being reasonably monogamous in knitting. By reasonably, I mean, I usually have one large project and one travel project going at any given time; I keep a sock project in the car for waiting times and a larger project that I work on at home. Recently I started my Dunkin socks… Continue reading If I cast on one more thing, take me out to the woodshed

My Pack (dogs, family, friends)
We were excited, recently, to celebrate my mom's 92nd birthday. For the first time ever my entire family (short a spouse and a couple of great grandchildren) was together in the same space. My sister, brother-in-law, and 2 adult children came from Florida; my niece (minus spouse and 2 boys) came from Georgia, and another… Continue reading My Pack (dogs, family, friends)

Stash diving
Hippo Disco Starting my Monophonic Shawl I decided to participate in a mystery shawl KAL by one of my favorite designers, Corrina Ferguson of Craftstar Studios. The yarn called for can be any weight (although the heavier the weight, the bigger the shawl). I decided to use fingering, 800 yards. Shouldn't be that hard in… Continue reading Stash diving

Taking Back Our Power
November 8, 2022 I've been involved in the "women's rights" movement since I was 15 years old (1973). As a young woman, my mother would take me to N.O.W. meetings (National Organization of Women), and I handed out flyers on election day to support voting for the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) - which unfortunately didn't… Continue reading Taking Back Our Power

How Can It Be September?
Time is flying by. Life is flying by. 2022 is flying by. Knitting, Travel, Dog Sports. I don't think I could survive without my Audible subscription. I've had it for years but really leaned into my membership during 2020. In 2020 I listened to 52 books. In 2021, it was 34 and so far, in… Continue reading How Can It Be September?

Knitting from Stash
It's hard to believe that summer is almost over. Well, honestly, I've been over summer, all summer. What's with these 'real feel' temperature readings? If it's 96 and 'feels like' 107 then, by god, it's 107. I cannot count the times I have gotten into the car at 7:30 in the evening after a training… Continue reading Knitting from Stash

No title No time
Hitofude, 2015 I was so sorry to hear that one of my favorite (and OG) dyers has decided to call it quits. Apple Tree Knits was the very first gradient I ever purchased and I made a Hitofude with it back in 2015. I bought the cake (super-sized at 1100 yards) on my first visit… Continue reading No title No time

Back in the Saddle Again
Jack and I ran in our first agility trial since February on June 24. We entered 3 events - FAST, Master JWW, and Premier JWW. FAST was a wash as I expected it would be, more for us to have the opportunity to warm up and reacquaint ourselves with the ring. We actually Q'd in… Continue reading Back in the Saddle Again

We all need a little getaway…
MDK knitting getaway 2022 has come and gone. Even with covid restrictions, this has been my favorite year yet. I caught up with old friends and made new friends. The weather was so mild and breezy, perfect to show off our lightweight knits, very unusual for June in Tennessee. The food was outstanding, the company… Continue reading We all need a little getaway…
