Last Tuesday, at SSK (Silver Spring Knitters, our local group), I coerced Heidi into modeling my newly completed hat.
The cap is a summer version of a hat I wore all winter long. (I’m obsessing a little bit about hats right now, lots of deadlines for sweaters, vests, socks and minutely crocheted shawls, . . . → Read More: Familiar Visitors at Knit Night Mary Beth Temple crocheting comedienne and author of The Secret Language of Knitters has started her own Internet Radio Call-in show!

Yes, I mis-measured my gauge by 1/2 stitch and that meant, by the end of the yoke I was over 30 stitches off the mark. However, I was not heartbroken, on the contrary! I enjoyed making the . . . → Read More: Rrrrrrrrip!
A few nights ago, I came up with this recipe after seeing one for a Mexican polenta casserole. With the move coming up, I’ve been looking for easy recipes that we can make with things in our pantry both to use up what we have, and to develop a collection of recipes to rely . . . → Read More: Polenta Lasagne I awoke this morning, sandwiched between James and Jay, who occasionally squirms his way into our bed before it’s fully light outside. And it wasn’t the lack of space that woke me up–tho my pillow had been taken over by Jay… it was the voices. Jay was saying, “I want cupcakes!” and patting me on the . . . → Read More: Cupcakes for breakfast? OK, I’ve been telling myself this bad pun all day, (as well as to James and the kids), and it still makes me giggle, so I’m sorry for subjecting you to it. Tawashi is Japanese for “dish scrubbie.” (No, that’s not a literal translation, it’s just what I’ve been told at Tawashi Town [ravelry link], . . . → Read More: Tawashi the dishes…

I’m still really enjoying crocheting this, when I get a moment to do it. (The kids and James have all been sick last week . . . → Read More: Round Yoke Progress I recently received a skein of yarn from Prism Yarns called Tencel Tape. Tencel is the more eco-friendly cousin to Rayon. It’s made from cellulose, in this case wood pulp, like rayon, but the chemical processing is a “closed circut” meaning they clean and reuse all the chemicals involved instead of dumping them into the environment.

Jay is sleeping, James is sleeping, Selma and a friend have been riding bikes and now they’re picnicking in the back yard (they requested sliced oranges, hummus and tortilla chips). Sophie, Selma’s guest said, “this is such a great play date!” I think they’re relishing in . . . → Read More: Clutter in Motion |
