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 …
Pass the Coffee, Please
So our schedule's been flipped upside-down. Again. And yes, it's just as much 'fun' as last time. Not sure how long it'll last, but we're muddling through as best we can. In the mean time, someone please pass me the coffee? Thanks. So last week was my birthday, as I mentioned. We spent all day …
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 …
Oh What A Tangled Web…
Well, I'm neither weaving nor deceiving, but I do have quite a tangled mess on my hands as you can see. This is a project that's been in the time out corner for a very long time, precisely because of that mess. It's very, very lovely yarn that was gifted to me, and with which …
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 …
