  • Autumn Knitting

    It is September 1st , as well as Labor Day, and as far as I am concerned, the beginning of autumn – the equinox in a couple of weeks will only confirm what is started today. Weather-wise, summer has left… Continue reading

  • Beach Knitting

  • Sorting The Stash

    Sarah and I have been cleaning out my studio and her art room. It has been a process and is still not quite done. We tackled my studio (sewing and knitting and other needlework, including beading) first and it took… Continue reading
