January Thaw
Every January that we’ve lived here, save for one, has fallen into the January Thaw category. Every year, regardless of whether or not we had a white Christmas (spoiler alert: not a lot of snow this year), we have a thaw in January. Of course we’ve also had 4 red flag/high fire danger warnings since then, but why quibble with the facts? Anyway. We’re all feeling a little better here. No snow in…
Learning Something New
So today, I cast on for a new hat. It’s the York Slouch by Wooly Wormhead. I love her patterns. They aren’t always easy, but they are easier to knit than they look, and I love the idea of learning new things when I’m making something familiar (you know, like a hat). Today I learned that there is more than one way to skin a crocheted provisional cast on. Somehow, it never occurred to me that I…
New Year
Nothing happy so far. I am an American, after all. But, it is a new year, and a new start. I guess. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it. So far, I have started to recover from losing our fluffiest, most incredible family member last month, finished one crocheted object and started another (no new knits so far, but I start another quickie this weekend), had our Giftmas Visit with BabyGoth’s…
The Happy Month of May
Good morning/afternoon/evening. It’s Monday again. Sorry. I’ve not been doing a lot today. Mostly just getting things put away and getting ready for our trip at the end of the month, and finishing some things up. For example: Almost done – ends not woven in. Done. I have worn it a couple times. Not something I would wear unless I was filled with confidence, but there we are. It’s nice and…

Happy May! Spellbound – Siouxsie and the Banshees I Feel You – Dépêche Mode I Want to Tear You Apart – She Wants Revenge Pitch the Baby – Cocteau Twins Lorelei – Cocteau Twins That’s about all I have for today. Yesterday I took my daughter to the ER (strep, thank goodness) and my brain’s been all over the place since. Have a good weekend.
May Day
Good morning/afternoon/evening, folks. It’s May 1st, May Day around the world. Including the only “civilized” nation that does not recognize it, the US. It is a holiday for workers worldwide. Not recognized in the US since the Haymarket riot , it is even celebrated in Russia. So it may be coming here soon, just saying… There are a series of worldwide protests against today against 47 and his…

Oh, you pretty things
Good morning/afternoon/evening. It’s Wednesday, April 30, and officially Halfway to Halloween. Yay! I’ve been working on a couple of things. The WIP pile is getting progressively larger. First up, something that I’ve been working with on and off for the past few months. See if you can guess what it is. Surprise Yep. It’s an Emotional Support Chicken. For the one here who has an inexplicable…

Life Makes Me Nervous
A nod to today’s prompt… Good morning/afternoon/evening! It’s near the end of April, and it’s a beautiful day. First, the Mystic square is finally being sewn together. I really don’t mind the sewing on this. It’s pretty minimal in terms of seams, and it’s all mattress stitch. The longest seam was 9”, roughly. Here’s what it looks like now: Almost there! Half an hour! The above caption was…

To the way too interested
Hello. My name is Karen, and I am autistic. I have been autistic for the past… far too many years, and it was confirmed when I was 6. I have held down a job. In fact, I have held down many, many jobs in my lifetime, including 15 years of running a music teaching studio. I have had a relatively successful relationship for the past 36 years. My husband and I are parents. And I can tell you with…

Sweet Lovers Love the Spring
Even though it’ll be 30F and snowing tomorrow. Today is a gorgeous day here in the foothills. Warm, even for April, with the ever-present looming of a snowstorm tomorrow. Fun fact, April is our snowiest month. I’m still working on the Mystic Square and the Virus Shawl. Mostly procrastinating to keep from practicing. But they’re both coming along. I may be able to start sewing up the body of the…

All the pretty things
Good afternoon, and happy WIP Wednesday. Here’s what I’ve been working on this week. First, the Mystic Square is coming along. I’m not crazy about the yarn I chose for this, but I intend to push through the best I can. WIP #1 I’ve also been working on a crocheted shawl for the trip. It’s the Virus Shawl from the Hobbii.com website. WIP #2 It’s going okay. I need to trust the pattern a little…

Kind of Spring
But it’s Colorado, so not officially spring until, say, June. Hello, and happy Monday. I’m doing my best to settle into a retired life. That’s going about as well as you might expect. I got paperwork in the mail last week for Cobra coverage (I think one of us will be getting that until open enrollment in October) and for my new insurance. I’m also working on the Mystic Square top. Part of the…

Look! It’s a square!
Yep. This is my Mystic Square as it is today. I cast it on yesterday morning – again – and started working on it as soon as the Knit4Food marathon started. I really thought I would finish yesterday. Well. I was suddenly not able to knit by myself for the rest of the day. For the first few hours, I had a helper. My helper. I wound up ripping back the first part of the center block another two…

Sunday always comes too late, but Friday never hesitates
Happy Friday. It’s cold here to welcome April, our snowiest month. We’re waiting for things to finally thaw out. Today, I finally signed up for the Knit for Food Knitalong 2025, as a part of Team GG. When I was a kid, we didn’t have a lot. We always had food on the table, at least twice a day. My parents also didn’t grow up with a lot, but we were taught to share what we had with others. I’ve…
