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!
Roots & Leaves
We’ve lived here about 9-1/2 years. Max was born here, Hannah was 11 months old when we moved in. There were some trees next door when we moved in, but they were cut down soon after (it was a windy spring and many trees had been falling over, our neighbor was afraid of the same…
Da Bears – or, The Colts!
Note: I started writing this at the start of the Superbowl. I put it away for a few days, and I’m finishing up on Tuesday night, after packing up the house all day I’m at Harry Caray’s at the Midway Airport, I just had a turkey burger and a beer and I’m surrounded by happy…
WCKG – Hang On Tight!
Have I mentioned that it’s cold. It’s cold. Training for Minnesota, I guess. I’m going to Provence!!! I’ve never been – I’ve been to Paris and Geneva, Italy and parts of Germany, but never Provence. I’m SO excited, I hardly know what to do!! French Girl Knits has invited me to teach on one of…

POD People
They’re coming tomorrow. We received a cryptic phone call alerting us that between 6am – 9amthe PODS will arrive. They’re coming. Be afraid, be very afraid… Fear #1 – The Pods Won’t Fit Down Our DrivewayIf the dumpster guys could get down the driveway, then the PODS folks should be able to. Should. Operative word…
Letting Go
Today I spent a good part of the afternoon in my basement office pitching old files which I haven’t used or even LOOKED at in the past 4 years. Old, old stuff – knowing in my soul that the minute the garbage is carted away, I’ll need one of those files. Oy. But it must…
The Pitch
“Life is a casting off – “ Linda Loman, Death of a Salesman Who knew that Linda was a knitter? I’ve worked on a few productions of DOAS, and none of them have had her pulling a ball and some needles out of her housecoat pocket. Some have her mending, but so far I haven’t…
