Here’s what I would have written yesterday if I’d had wifi… It’s my second time in a Holiday Inn Express in 2 weeks, and I’m not having an easy time with the internets – AGAIN. I don’t know if it’s a HIE problem, but the signal is just so weak I can’t log on. But…

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!
Hard Time Posting
My second time in a Holiday Inn Express in 2 weeks, and I’m not having an easy time with the internets. I don’t know if it’s a Holiday Inn problem, but the same thing is happening, which is that the signal is just so weak I can’t log on. Since I don’t have much time,…
Turnabout is Fair Play
It’s been a while since Han’s been on the blog, and Max has had MAXimum coverage what with all the kayaking and skiing and baseball. So here’s a shot of Hannah in a wimple type of scarf that I just finished in Buffalo Gold’s #13, Buffalo & Bamboo yarn. She looks thrilled to be modeling…
Slowly Finding a Rhythm
Last evening we had the nicest visit with some new friends West of Minneapolis, just a wonderful group of folks. We were all so content on the way home, we had a lovely time! Max was able to get up on the skis again, I got to meet a new friend (several!) and do some…
I'm working, I'm working …
Boy, give me an office and I go nuts! I’ve been pining for this, aching for a place to sit quietly alone and work. Did I ever NEED this! I’m so much more focused, more productive and HAPPIER than I’ve been in months. It’s hard to feel that you don’t have a place – harder…
Magic & Curses
What a weekend. It was such a blend of beauty and fun and love and also pain and fear – I’m totally mixed up. I joined some knitting friends up at Peggy’s cabin on Lake Ida, and it was a sublime weekend. We knitted, ate, laughed a LOT, drank a bit and overall rested. REST!…
A Room Of One's Own
Whenever I travel I feel like it takes me so much time to get some semblance of control back in my life. Everything feels surreal, as though I’m looking at my family and my home from the outside. It generally takes me a few days to get my ‘land legs’ back, but eventually they come…
Long, Long Day
Yesterday (Sunday) was a LONG day! A very nice day, but incredibly long! I taught in the morning and afternoon at Nautical Yarn (excellent classes, smaller than the first two, but more intimate!), then I headed off to the SS Badger for my return crossing from Michigan to Wisconsin. I did not get ill this…
New Camera
I’m not home yet, but I have a new camera back at the house waiting for me! We went to National Camera Exchange and looked at a few models. I fell in love with the Canon G9, but it was just too pricey ($500). We looked at other Canon models, and found out that the…
