There are times when I have absolutely no intention of buying yarn . . that’s the fartherest thing from my mind, and I’m really trying to be good. Black Friday is coming up and Eat, Sleep, Knit usually has a mystery sale that day. Miss Babs usually has a sale around Christmas that she calls...

Sorry in last night’s photo the pink looked orange. Hopefully tomorrow I can get some outside pictures. I should have thought of that today. As always, I didn’t get much knitting done today. Canning, a nap . . there were a couple of distractions. I so easily get sidetracked. I used the flash tonight and...

Today is October 31. You know what that means! Halloween. I will not have my outside lights on. I will not open the door for anyone. I will have a heart attack if anyone rings my doorbell! My current project is Quicksilver, which is for the 4th Quarter Knit Along at Eat, Sleep, Knit. Of...

Rhinebeck is a fiber/yarn festival in NY and I have wanted to go for so many years. My problem (which really isn’t a problem at all) is that I wouldn’t go alone. Vince’s brother lives near there so if we went together, he could also visit his brother. But . . if we went together,...

First, you’ve probably never heard me mention crocheting because I really don’t know how to do it but . . how hard can it be, right? Wrong! I sit here and watch my wrist movement and think crochet should be an Olympic competition. I know I’m making this way harder than it should be but...

Yesterday I mentioned that I had ordered some spinning fiber from Etsy. I also talked to a lady at Paradise Fiber and ordered some that she recommended too. Those people there are so nice and helpful and she encouraged me to call back with questions about spinning and fiber. This is fiber that I had...
