New Year, New Decade … New You?

[Translate] Welcome to the Roarin’ 20’s! Oops, that was 100 years ago. So what are the 20’s of this era going to be called I wonder? When we look back, what will we say about them? Well, I’m not certain what everyone else is going to say about them, but I know I’m going to say it was the decade I expanded my view and increased my knitting IQ! How would you like to do that with me? How? Sweaters and More! What’s that? Here’s a brief little video explaining that and how I think we can all take […]


All we need is hugzzz … and CABLES!!

[Translate] Well, it’s been an exciting, interesting, informative, reflective, saddening, and emotional (yes, there are more I could add) few months in the online knitting community, hasn’t it?! If you’re unaware of what I’m talking about, head over to Instagram or Ravelry, and scroll through your feed. I’m sure in no time at all you’ll come across the “conversation” that has been going on. If you’re not following me on Instagram, you can do so, and you’ll see mention of it in my feed. I’m going to bypass a summary for the time being, but I will be visiting […]

[Translate] There’s a tradition that has become a staple in the lives of many knitters when the Olympics come around. Even though the IOC tried to ban it and had the unofficial “official” name changed, us knitters are a pesky lot and still carry on the not to be named tradition of casting on a new project during the opening ceremonies of the games with the goal of casting it off before the culmination of said games.

It’s Time! …

[Translate] For what you ask? Well, for a lot of things! The first and most important is to let you know about the new look of my website. Okay, yeah, I guess you’ve seen it already. Actually, if you followed a link to this post directly, then you might not have. So after you read this one, click on the logo at the top and have a look around. I’d love any feedback on what you think – all comments are appreciated and I will use them to fine tune things. 🙂 It seems like I couldn’t have timed […]


2014 …

[Translate] Well, it’s that time again! What the heck happened to 2013? Oh well, time to seize the day, or in this case, year. 2014 will be grand – I can feel it. And while I’m full of this new found optimism that seems to come from the calendar flipping over another day, I’ll do something I don’t usually do. I’m going to make a few resolutions. Now if you’ve been around from the beginning (or if you search waaaaay back on this site), you’ll know/see that I have done this before. Once. Yeah, it was that successful. So […]
