Not to be confused with Snallygaster. In the past year, I have been knitting a lot of projects with 2 yarns held together. With this comes the expected tangles and unwinding and knotted yarn barf messes. On some occasions, I have been working with the yarn from BOTH ends of the ball. Sweet mother ofContinue reading “Snarlyghaster”

Revolution 40
Yesterday was a great day! Not only was it my birthday, but America gave me a REALLY great gift! We watched the inauguration with our daughter (a first grader), our son (pre-K) was completely not interested in the proceedings. We made a cake on the 19th, the Chocolate Cake from the Snoop Dogg cookbook. IContinue reading “Revolution 40”

Baby, Take a Break.
A number of connotations in the title, this being Friday, the 8th of January, 2021 and all. First, I need a break from the news cycle. The insurrection of the 6th is still being processed in my mind; I have a lot of feelings right now. None of them are sympathetic to the perpetrators terrorizingContinue reading “Baby, Take a Break.”
Two-at-a-Time: Sleeves
Live Dangerously. Danger! Danger! Danger!! I decided to just go for it, no life lines. Dove in, head first (sleeves first??) doing the sleeves two-at-a-time on the girl child’s sweater dress.

Goals and Intentions- January 2021 (and beyond)
Guerilla Gifting. Last spring, I started randomly sending my friends makes. It made me feel good, and I got to create without the guilt of hoarding finished objects. AND since they were surprise, just because I love you, gifts there were NO timelines, no strings attached. Let’s be honest, how many hats do you ACTUALLYContinue reading “Goals and Intentions- January 2021 (and beyond)”
