Jeeze-O-Pete how I love my home! As may have been mentioned previously somewhere on this blog, I’m a Virgo. I like things tidy, well planned and I love being home. Home is, to me, heaven. When I was a kid and had to memorize 2 bible verses every 2 weeks, one stuck out in my…

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!
Hugs & Chugs
WHAT a long month this has been. Tomorrow would be 4 weeks from when I left on May 20 for my teaching extravaganza, culminating with the TNNA Convention in Columbus, OH. It was VERY hard to be away – yes, indeed – but it was a good trip for many reasons. #1 – MoneyYes, this…
Columbus Sunup to Sundown
TNNA is tiring, damn it! There’s so much yarn, so many folks, so much to see and SO MUCH WALKING! Shannon (once again my roommate for TNNA) and I felt as if we got up with the sun and crashed with the moon. She was a more avid partier and socializer than I I spent…
T minus 6 days…
I’m less than a week away from home, and I’m counting the hours. Last night I talked to Gerry, Max and Hannah on the phone. I miss them, they miss me, we all miss each other. Gerry said they’ve been listening to the audio book of Knit With Courage in the car because they miss…
Missing the Guy
I’m missing Gerry something awful on this trip. Do I call? No, not as much as I should. I called yesterday just as he was leaving MN Oncology for his monthly drip and I was pulling into the customs lane to re-enter the US for my doc’s visit. (Sorry, Ma’am, you cannot be on the…
Getting There & Breathing Better
For those who’ve been worried (I guess I list myself among that group) my breathing is better. I had a few days to kill before Toronto, so I drove up to Montreal as I’d planned on sight seeing. I was so exhausted on the road that I pulled into a Holiday Inn Express, where –…
Squam is da Bomb(Sorry about that, I couldn't resist…)
It’s lovely here. Just absolutely, beautifully, LOVELY! The light is stunning. It makes everything look clear and bright, it’s like the light back home in MN. I wonder if it’s a function of the latitude? The food is very good – light years better than anything I ever had at camp – and many of…
Saratoga Here I Come!
I love visiting Saratoga Springs, NY – and I’ll be there TOMORROW (Tues, 6/2) at Saratoga Needle Arts from 4-6 signing books (mine, or anyone elses…) and just chatting with folks. Come on by and you MAY even snag one of the elusive, out-of-print Twist & Loop Knitting & Crocheting with Wire books. Maybe. Ha!…
Resting Among Friends
The teaching in Pennsylvania went SO well – I loved Mountain Knits and the students were exceptional! And, after teaching, it’s nice to relax and sleep. So I took a day at a hotel (always good to regroup) then headed over to South Orange to visit some old friends and spend the night in a…
Resting, resting…
After two days of teaching in East Stroudsburg, I’m ready to move near the Delaware Water Gap! I had the BEST time at Mountain Knits & Pearls, LOVE the stock of both yarn and great beads in the shop. Joanne did a lovely job setting up the classes and making everyone feel at home, and…
