This wrap has delighted me the whole way through. As I said before, I have always loved Wonder Woman. Her strength and conviction in the power of love, truth, and justice has kept me going in some of my harder times. Especially when there were/are those who would rather I conform to the narrative thatContinue reading “Wonder Woman Wrap”

Maybe a Shawl Can Tell a Story
My kids are getting really excited. This quarantine has not been easy and seeing Oma on the phone is not the same as seeing her in person every month. (I am so grateful she was able to be here right before shutdowns began.) We have remained pretty isolated throughout this whole experience and the girlsContinue reading “Maybe a Shawl Can Tell a Story”
The Epic Granny Square Jacket
This is the tale of the granny square car jacket. A technicolor vision that took almost a year of dedication from a person I barely remember at the moment. It all began with a pattern in a magazine and some yarn that had been bought in bulk and set aside for a special project. MyContinue reading “The Epic Granny Square Jacket”
Next Up
Just as I predicted. The wrap was not meant for me, but for my bright and moody middle child. She had her eye on it for a while and made sure I knew it. I am happy she enjoys it. It was fun to knit up and I’m bursting with shawl and wrap ideas fromContinue reading “Next Up”
Some Thoughts While Not Knitting
Monday nights are now the official start of my weekend. That means I’m currently end-of-the-week tired. My knitting sat right next to me. I even held it for a little while; enjoying the feel of the stitches I’ve made, the dips in the needle tips, worn in from use. I’ve stopped being upset with myselfContinue reading “Some Thoughts While Not Knitting”
Another One Done
Another project done. I do enjoy how quickly bulky yarn works up. I do not enjoy how heavy it is and the strain on my wrists just moving stitches around. I’m still trying to work out the knots in my left thumb pad and down my forearm from holding all that weight! But it’s doneContinue reading “Another One Done”
All Done and a few WIPs
I am very excited to say I finished the sweaters! All three of my girls have a similar sweater made to their style and with their favorite colors. Just in time for me to head back to work. Now I’ve started a shawl for a friend. I love the beginning of a shawl. It startsContinue reading “All Done and a few WIPs”
Three Wee Sweaters
This sweater has been a bit of a different experience for me. I like to let my daughters pick the colors for what I make them and did the same with these sweaters. I love the pattern so much, I wanted to make them each one. Now my kids are like most and are eachContinue reading “Three Wee Sweaters”
A Shawl It Is
When I took knitting up again, I was 25, married, pregnant with our first, and stuck at home unable to work. I had been a server and the pain from being on my feet was overwhelming. This meant that my husband, and the only friend or family I had in the area, was at work,Continue reading “A Shawl It Is”
Who Needs Sleep?
It’s about 2:30 in the morning and my oldest just fell asleep. Everyone else in the house is out and I, of course, am still awake. As much as I fantasize about enjoying a quiet cup of coffee early in the morning, sitting outside, soaking in the peace and quiet, it is not in theContinue reading “Who Needs Sleep?”
