  • I Don’t Judge

    Next time someone gives me a hard time about the size of my yarn stash, I am going to say:  Hey, I know a man who has 7000 cast iron pots.   It’s true.  He is a friend of my… Continue reading

  • Beach Knitting

    We are home from the Beach.  Tired, tan, well-sanded, and satisfied.  It is always a grand visit with so much of my dear family there, too.  And the gray whales, seals, tide pool creatures, the ocean itself. Sarah and I… Continue reading

  • Knit Like An Egyptian

    I love it when two inspirations collide! I have been knitting my Color Affection – 3 different yarns in coordinating gorgeous gold tones! But have been also thinking about how stunning the ones knit up in strong contrast colors are. … Continue reading

  • London

    We are in full Summer mode at our house – with Sarah and the kids here until the end of August and Sasha’s wedding less than three weeks away!  Which is why it has taken me nearly a week to… Continue reading

  • Brit Knits

    I have packed three knitting projects for my trip to London (I say this very quietly so the rest of my projects do not hear — they would clamour to go!). This is a (very quiet) record for me in… Continue reading
