What have we learned from this exercise? We go through a lot of toilet paper. At some point, we got so bored that we started to play with our toilet paper tubes. I spend probably too much time on pinterest. We would  make good toy maker pioneers. It is not easy to draw on a … Read more

sweet 16

16 years ago today I was the most scared and happy that I’ve ever been in my life.    She was so tiny – 5 lbs 2oz.    While she slept, I finished knitting her baby blanket – my first ever knitting project (ironically, I wouldn’t pick up knitting needles again for another eight years).   The next … Read more

warmer

It’s been non-stop knitting here.   I knit these two matching neck warmers on Christmas Day and Boxing Day.  I like that they make the plain grey wool pop. The details are all on ravelry here.  The pattern was very easy to memorize.

{this moment} – A Friday ritual. A single photo – no words – capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember.

The cat always looks growl-y to me.   It’s as if she owns the place.

essential

I love this cardigan.  I started it in the fall, and it knit up fairly fast, and then it sat in pieces in a bag forever.   I dreaded all the tiny stitch-y seaming, but after all the holiday dinners were over, I decided to take a whole day to finish it off while watching 1g5g … Read more
