Scarf for my Brother

As requested, I’m making my brother the Fourth Doctor Who’s scarf. I looked it up online and found one with a pattern from the BBC. I sketched it down on paper, bought the colors I was missing, and have been having a lot of fun with this. After finishing my Sister Shawl (more on thatContinue reading “Scarf for my Brother”

Ready for Imbolc

I don’t really do much for this holiday, but I do enjoy celebrating being that much closer to Spring when Winter begins to get dreary and drag. This year hasn’t been as challenging weather wise, but I think we all need this exhausting condition we find ourselves in to lead us into some growth andContinue reading “Ready for Imbolc”

My Husband’s Secret Sweater

I’ve begun working on a sweater for my husband, finally. And then of course he’s having more health issues. We’re not really sure what is going on just yet. He has another MRI later today. Last week I dropped him off at the ER and, since visitors are no longer allowed due to the pandemic,Continue reading “My Husband’s Secret Sweater”

Sister Shawl Saga: Part I Finished

It definitely came out a bit larger than I had intended, but I did have a lot of fun making it. Once I’m finished with mine, I will write up the story that goes with it. I have until Spring to get it done so that I can send it to my sister for herContinue reading “Sister Shawl Saga: Part I Finished”

While I Was Spending Time with my Kids

I had a few different ideas about what I wanted to write about today. I’ve been mulling them over and rolling them around all day. Once the kids were home from school I set my phone aside and we played charades while having a snack. Then chores and dinner. Only then did they turn theContinue reading “While I Was Spending Time with my Kids”

Saga of the Sister Shawls

My new knitting rule is gifts are for birthdays and only for the most special and thankful of people. This is the first of the two Sister Shawls I’m making for my sister and me. I will be tucking it away for her birthday while I write up the story that goes with it andContinue reading “Saga of the Sister Shawls”

Happy New Year

We made it! 2020 is over. Only one of us didn’t last until midnight this year. We did not watch any ball drop or do a count down, but instead watched Princess Bride and then Men in Tights. I’m also trying to get a bit more organized again. I’ve been going room by room andContinue reading “Happy New Year”

Merry Christmas-Some Gifts I Gave

I know. I’m still behind! But at least everyone I saw in person got their gift on time! Ok, ok, so that isn’t saying much this year because we are all seeing less people than usual. These hats went to a few nieces. One of them even wore their hat for a little while (untilContinue reading “Merry Christmas-Some Gifts I Gave”

Happy Solstice

I’m a little behind, but Happy Solstice! The kids enjoyed their gifts from Mother Winter, who visits our house the evening before the Solstice. She usually brings them something cozy in preparation for winter. This year it was slippers, hot cocoa, mugs, and a board game. We talk about how this is the longest nightContinue reading “Happy Solstice”

And it’s Done

It’s done! Assembly began to get messy, I’ll admit it. I thought about all the ways I could attach the strap, but by the time I got to it, all I had the energy for was to tie it on with a whole lot of crazy knots. To hide it all, and give it aContinue reading “And it’s Done”
