Happy birthday to my birthday twins, Harry Potter and J.K. Rowling! (yep, I totally love the fact I share my birthday with them). Today's being spent knitting and watching a Harry Potter marathon. We're currently nearing the end of The Chamber of Secrets. We shall see how far along we end up getting with the movies …

The Pitfalls of Gifting
Hello all, Nikki here! I’ve known Karin for *mumble mumble* years - ashamed to say I’m not entirely sure when we first met. I know we’ve been online friends for a long time, starting with LiveJournal (ah, the good old days). We hung out IRL for a couple years when I moved to her town …
I’m Doing a Thing
A knitting thing. Yes, it's true ;-). I've finally settled on a pattern for that beautiful yarn Krysten gave me. The lighting's pretty bad, I'm afraid, so you don't get to see the pretty sparkles. I'll try to get a better shot when I'm a little further along. It's nice to be knitting again, it's …
Keeping it going
Hi! Karin asked me to write for this blog a while ago and I'm so honoured she's giving me the chance to leave some words here. When she asked me I figured I would have enough time to write, but as things in life do, the date snuck up on me and here I am, …
This Is How We Roll
So this week's been largely great (few dips here and there, but such is life, right?). Hubby and I are both totally hooked on Pokémon Go! We've walked a whole bunch of miles (not entirely sure how many at this point, but somewhere in the range of 100 miles since we started. I do know that …
A creative piece of me
Hello! First off, thanks so much to Karin for reaching out to me and asking me to guest blog! I’m Adri, and I’m so delighted to be sharing my creative bits with all of you! I’m a jewelry designer and fashion/lifestyle blogger. I also love to sew and knit, which is how I know Karin …
It’s Still Sunday! (Pokémon!)
At least in my neck of the woods it is. So I think we've established that this whole changing sleep schedules deal isn't really working out as hoped. Barely being functional is not how I imagined spending my awake time. I will admit, the last couple of days have gone a little better on that front, …

A Piece of A Pickle
Hello, my name is Krysten, and I am Karin's guest blogger today! I know Karin from Ravelry, and "naelany" is who she is to me in my head (Ravelry names are hard to get away from!). When she invited me to post as a guest on her blog, I felt sure that she knew what …
Oops
A little late to count as a Sunday post but there you have it. My days are out of whack, still, and will continue to be for a while yet. I'm really, really looking forward to getting off this schedule because man, it's messing with me in just about every way imaginable. Anyway. There's been …

A Knitter on the Road
So as you can tell, I'm not Karin. I'm another one of those guests she likes to invite on to talk about themselves and their lives. My name is Ashley. I, like so many of her comfortable guests, know her from Ravelry. I'm a stay at home mom of a single kid on the autism …
