Fried Mush My mother in law, the lovely Elaine (who will be coming out to stay with the kids while I’m in Michigan next week… – THANK YOU ELAINE!) knows mamaliga as the traditional Yiddish dish of fried mush – she had it as a child served with sour cream. In our family we eat…

I knit weird and I enjoy showing others how to find the joy and intuitiveness within their OWN knitting!
We don't knit to make THINGS, we knit to make OURSELVES HAPPY!
Housekeeping Clearing up a couple of things on this bright, crisp and cool Sunday morning that I’ve left dormant for far too long! 1 – THANK YOU DOT!! A student of mine, who was moved by my plight when she saw how devastated I was by the early demise of my Scuncii Steamer, financed the…
Sweet, Sweet South Orange! I’m so glad to be home! As we drove into South Orange the kids started making up an impromptu song about being back – in harmony (early Buick horn!) and I had to sing along! We left Parkersburg Wednesday after breakfast with Jan. She’s feeling well, but she’s scared (of course!)…
Overload What a few days I’ve had – oy! I arrived in VA on Thurs evening – it took longer than I’d expected as I got lost – and hit the ground running on Fri teaching a class (it was going to be two, but one was cancelled) Sat & Sun were both triple class…
It’s Going To Happen!! I got the email today from the producer at Knitty Gritty – I’m going to be a guest!!!! I’m very excited, and I owe a big thanks to my blog readers to contacted KG on my behalf – THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I’ve heard from a few other folks who were…
Wheezier I’ve had pretty severe asthma since I was 26 – roughly around the time I moved back to NYC after living in TX for a year. It will be dormant for months at a time, but rears it’s ugly head when it’s cold and damp outside (especially in the summer) This week’s been one…
Weezy Last week Isabell Sanford died – Weezy – which is what I am today – wheezing. Asthma hits me very hard on warm, humid days. Rainy summer days are especially hard. I haven’t slept much in the past few days – hard to lay down and breathe well – so I’m sitting up and…
Balance Walking back from taking the kids to camp this morning (today is a Bowling trip!) I have a lot of time to ponder things. It’s a nice, calm hour when I can concentrate on stuff that’s hard to think about with all of the distractions of home. Today I was thinking about beauty &…
Old Dominion! I have my times and dates for my Virginia teaching in Gordonsville, and it’s quite a schedule! I hope that anyone in the Virginia area who’s wanted to take a class with me will venture down to Lola’s shop, Limerick Fibers – 105 North Main Street, Gordonsville, VA. You can register for the…
Sticky Buns Our home isn’t air conditioned – which generally is only a problem for 2-6 days a summer. We have a well designed, 1927 home (pre air conditioned) with wide doorways and great airflow. We have an exhaust fan in the attic and ceiling fans in almost every room, which make a tremendous difference…
