As is often the case, time gets away and I find myself continuing to re-evaluate time on social media in the pursuit of simplification in the evolution of ever more screen time. I do plan to still write in this space but I am making some decisions to reduce to areas of social media for knitcher; mostly right now I have removed the...

Coming back into this space after taking a needed break. I function through my life through symbols and I thought I would share some symbols as I transitioned through my 50th birthday this spring and always looking through their strength as I keep hitting bumps in this road of life.I enjoy getting new ink when I hit these transitions. This tattoo was for...

Spring, yes- this magical transition from winter; waking from the winter slumber. I love spring; I like the way the airs smells and how mama earth starts showing herself in tiny little leaves opening on my elderberry bushes and tiny little flowers in my yard. I am also a little biased about spring; it is the season I came into the world along...

Today the sun is shining at winter's last (we hope) snow storm that made it's way this past week. Missouri has decided Thursday was it's favorite day to snow this year! But today it is nearly 60 degrees out and there are small signs of spring in the air. Even though spring is definitely one of my favorite seasons, it is hard to find...

Finishing up the poncho last week has gotten me itching for more knitting projects, and I mentioned that I was lining up another poncho for spring/summer wearing for some travel knitting. I pulled out a skein in my stash- Manos Del Uruguay Milo- merino + linen in petal. I was hoping to trying and find another complimentary pink and fade them together but...

The Katniss Poncho is all done in time for the closing ceremonies tonight. It has been fun pattern to explore during the winter games and I really enjoyed making this piece. I also really enjoyed the unexpected rabbit hole I fell down with the Hunger Games and exploring family history in the area that is the setting of the dystopian Panem. This is...

How is your 2022 Winter Olympic watching going? If you have been with me the past couple of Olympics, you may remember that I like to do a knitalong project during the games. I am doing some video chat updates along the way if you want to hear more. The most recent update I did I talked about some mills and I said...

 I did a new little video chat highlighting a fun little gift to make really anytime, but if you had a hankering to make one of Valentine's Day, this is a quick, fun, natural gift. Feel free to watch the video to hear more about it, but I wanted to list out some links for you as well. As I mentioned in the...

I thought I would share some my current reads. I have been enjoying reading This Long Thread by Jen Hewett with its diversity of essays and interviews with women of color crafting and connection. As you may be aware there has been several important conversations happening surrounding representation in the crafter community the past couple of years and this book presents a variety of...

It is odd how a color finds it's way into your favorite club without even expecting it. If you would have asked me a couple years ago what my favorite color is I would have said dark red and other earth tones. Today I still love variations of red; dark red, rust, brick red, and terra cotta, but I also really like soft...
