Wow, I can't believe it's been a year already since I started this blog. Do you remember my first post on January 31st, 2016? I'm ashamed to admit that I still haven't finished those bears. And ah yes, I was ambitious in thinking that I'd post twice a week myself, as well as ending up with …

Please Tell Me…
That there's an end to Summer soon. I know, I know, I shouldn't complain. After all, it's been a fairly mild season so far over all. Which, you know, is good, but it's still been very warm - too warm at times, something that doesn't play nice with my fibro. I'm definitely ready for things …
The Art of Balance
Sadly, it is one I have yet to master. Still, I hope to get there one day. Over the years, I've discovered there are a few things my soul, if you will, needs. To read To write To knit To craft Yes, I put knitting on its own because it soothes me on a level …
Shhh. I should be sleeping…
This'll be just between you and me, alright? I'm supposed to be sleeping right now and I promise I'll head to bed shortly 😉 Are you familiar with Agatha Christie's Miss Marple? Apparently they have done a remake of it and while I am very partial to Joan Hickson's portrayal of the role, I have to …
A Very Harry Potter Day
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 …
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 …
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 …
Aaaand, Done!
Yep, you read that right. My Holden by the Sea is officially a Finished Object! Granted, I had to abandon the idea of the picot edging the pattern called for because there was just no way I had enough yarn left for that, but bind off happened with a bit of a tail to spare. Go …
Not. Enough. Coffee. In. The. World.
Or otherwise known as: Daylight Savings Time. Eesh, I want my hour back! Seriously, Benjamin Franklin, what were you thinking when you came up with that idea (yeah, yeah, I know technically the idea's been around for a lot longer)? *sips caffeinated beverage* Ah well, I suppose I'll have to wait until Fall to get it back, …
We Have Lace, People!
Granted, it's a simple feather and fan lace pattern, but still! I managed to figure out where I went wrong (twice, I might add), and fix things. Lo' and behold, three sections of lace and beads. I'm loving it! I am enjoying the knit (well, I am when I don't make stupid mistakes, at least) …
