Pause button
The holidays definitely have a lot going for them, I’ll say that much. Lots of eating and visiting and sitting around, and then more eating, and I am left with the strange combination of feeling fatigued but rested at the same time. I quite like the between-time of after Christmas and before New Year’s day, […]
And to all a good knit
It’s about to be a busy place around these parts pretty soon, with some holiday eating, drinking, and general festivity rolling out from Christmas Eve onward. Possibly there will even be some knitting in the quiet moments! In any case, dear blog readers and knitting friends, I wish you Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and most […]

This is, let’s face it, at least […]
Sometimes the knitting is motivation for the other knitting
