Thanks for all of the lovely comments yesterday. I am indeed recovering, albeit much slower than I would like. Now that the pain is gone, I want to be all better right now. But I am not. And I must just accept that and give it time.
I especially enjoyed the comment from Linda, wherein she [...]

I do believe this is the longest I've ever gone without blogging. But in my defence, I do have many very good excuses. I have tried to write a few posts, but I just haven't had the energy or concentration to do so. So, in a nutshell, here's what I've been up to over the [...]

Spring is sprung the grass is riz I wonder where my mitten is?
As you may recall, back in November my beautiful Anemoi mitten tragically left my pocket on the day of the first snowfall. I was in a field near my house, and by the time I went back later [...]

My beautiful dog Macha died today. I would love to write a wonderful tribute, and tell you all of the things that made her special, but I can't. So I'll just say this – in the 11 1/2 years that she shared her life with us, not a single day went by that she didn't [...]

Three little kittens They lost their mittens And they began to cry Oh, mother dear We sadly fear Our mittens we have lost.
What! Lost your mittens You naughty kittens! Then you shall have no pie. Meow, meow, meow, meow. You shall have no pie.
It's sad but true. Less than a month after [...]

Socks – check. Stockinette – check. I had it all covered. Surgery was scheduled for Tuesday, Oct. 30. On Monday [...]

Just a quick post to let you know that I probably won't be updating for a couple of weeks. I'm heading off on a 2-week work trip and will be back in early June. I will have lots of knitting time, but I hurt my wrist a few days ago and knitting is painful. I [...]

I've been a bit distracted lately – you could even say scatter-brained. I've chalked it up to having a lot on my mind. But yesterday I brought "distracted" to a whole new level.
I have a pair of shoes that I keep at the office, and I normally wear my sneakers to work, and then change [...]

The Swallowtail Shawl is finished – actually, it's been finished since last Wednesday, but I didn't get around to blocking it until Saturday, and I just took pictures today. I don't have a picture of me wearing it. I tried – honest I did. But there was a wee problem. You know those women who [...]
