Unravelled Wednesday for Jan 20
Do you analyze your dreams? I’ve been reading in “Belonging” that it’s very helpful for figuring out the problems your subconscious is dealing with. The mind can get very creative in dreams, making them seem confusing or disjointed. For example, learned in the book that if you dream you are being chased by a bad […]
How many ways can you knit a sock?
Does it ever seem odd that the month at the end of summer is often thought of as a time for new beginnings? September is here, and, for me, it’s always been back-to-school time, even though it’s been a long time since I’ve sat in a classroom. The time to begin a new grade year. […]
Clean Knitting
January is a time for new beginnings and an accepted month for starting anew. Since the weather is not amenable for outside activity, it’s a good time for indoor activities like knitting. Or cleaning up the house, or the blog. To combine the two, I knitted a pile of new dishcloths from leftover yarn in […]
Lotus Socks WIP
Salutations!It’s wonderfully warm here today even though it is overcast and a little drizzly. The cowbirds are congregating on the fields in large black flocks and moving like a giant wiper from one end to the other to nab tasty insects. This morning I enjoyed a short dove concert as I meditated. It seems that […]
Unraveled Wednesday January 3
The Roan Highlands sweater is progressing nicely. I finished the main body and one sleeve, and nearly finished the second sleeve. Thanks to this very cold weather, any time spent outdoors is limited to 40 minutes or less of walking, and without an oven (yes, it’s still inoperative) I can’t bake anything. So I’ve loads […]

20 December Unraveled Wednesday
‘Twas the Wednesday before Christmas and all through the houseThe humans were stirring… CHRISTMAS COOKIE DOUGH! At least I hope it will be that way this time tomorrow. Since I am actually writing this blog a day in advance, I don’t know if the oven repair man will be here today or not. If he […]

This week on Unraveled Wednesday
Unraveled Wednesday Sweater Sampler
This week I’ve been making progress on the Sweater Sampler. But I haven’t been spending a lot of time knitting. We’ve run out of shows to watch on Netflix and CBS All Access, so I’ve picked up books to read or have been playing video games instead. I’m also feeling a little homesick for California. […]
Epic Knitting
This week’s Unraveled Wednesday includes the Heroes of Yarnia Scarf, the Sweater Sampler, and the discovery of an unexpected treasure trove. Can knitting get more fun than this?

Here they are, posing for a picture by the mums on the front porch. I’m calling them Pumkin and Spyce. Guess you can figure out which is which! Spyce […]
Feb 15 Yarn Along: Epic Knits Scarf
Happy Wednesday!I’ve made some progress on the Epic Knits Heroes of Yarnia MKAL! I am very pleased with the Epic Knits pattern and the Yarnia quest. The purple colorway (Stroll Tonal from KnitPicks) is gorgeous. I don’t like the off-white/gray colorway, but it’s too late to change now! The picture makes it look better than […]
1 Feb Yarn Along: Double Knitting
Happy February!I feel like I should be casting on something pink in honor of the new month. But not today.I finished the Mario star practice square over the weekend. It didn’t take very long once I got back into the rhythm. I’m not happy with the edges. But since this is going to be sewn […]
Jan 25 Yarn Along
It’s Yarn Along day! Can you believe it’s the last Wednesday in January? Did the month seem to pass faster this year? I am very happy to report that Shujin’s second sock is off the needles. In fact, both socks are blocked and were presented to him as a belated birthday present. And it didn’t […]
Think Write Thursday, or More Cake Anyone?
Today’s topic for Think Write Thursday is: plan a dinner party, inviting 3 people, living or dead. I started thinking about this when I read Carole’s post this morning. Which, by the way, is absolutely wonderful and you should go click into her blog when you are done here and read it. Of course the […]
Jan 18 Yarn Along and Project List
Happy Wednesday! It’s Yarn Along day!Wednesdays always sneak up on me when Monday is a holiday. This week I’ll finish Shujin’s socks. The first sock left the needles the night before his birthday. I felt like I had to have at least one finished to show him and even thought of wrapping it up, but […]
