One since 4th grade and another since 5th grade. I value my time with them in a very… Continue reading Friendship
Ugggg. More heat!
I recently saw an Instagram post by a designer at “vert.and.rose” that made me laugh. She finally finished a beautiful wool sweater, and it was time to take pictures of it to post and it’s 90 degrees outside. She’s in a beautiful field and sweating up a storm. Anyone relate!🤣 But we keep knitting. As… Continue reading Ugggg. More heat!
I Think I Created A Pattern
So, I know I shared this previously, my niece is having a baby in September. His name will be Tripp. So, being a knitter/crocheter, I immediately started knitting/crocheting for this baby. My niece showed me a picture of a baby bunting that looked like a cannoli. She saw it on Instagram. I searched and searched… Continue reading I Think I Created A Pattern
History in knitting

And not to mention if you are going through anything on a personal level. Life can seem overwhelming. So, I always escape into a… Continue reading History in knitting

Stash, Stash, Stash, Trash?
Last week my progress in organizing my stash was overwhelming. There was a lot of procastiknitting! This week, it has been much better, and even somewhat exciting. How are you all doing? It was great to hear from all who wrote in or talked to me at the store. You normalized my stashing. Many discussions… Continue reading Stash, Stash, Stash, Trash?
Change is hard
We all know this. However, I’ve discovered over the past few weeks that I need to make some changes in my life in order to grow as a person. I’m starting with my yarn stash! I’m not even sure I can call it a stash any more. My yarn has taken over two rooms in… Continue reading Change is hard
Eclipse
How did you all enjoy the eclipse? I was home alone all day, so I needed to fill my time with a project. So like any normal person, I decided to try dyeing yarn for the first time. Well I don’t mean to toot my own horn, but I think what I did was amazing.… Continue reading Eclipse
Emotional Support Chicken
So, over the past few weeks life has been a bit hectic. We lost a matriarch in my brother-in-law’s family. Nana passed at 94 years old. She lived a long, full life. She had five children, seven grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. Because she was such a leader in the church, five priests spoke at her… Continue reading Emotional Support Chicken
