I finished my mobius scarf tonight! It was so wonderfully easy to make, fits perfectly, and is so warm! I admit to a certain disappointment about the color. It’s called moss, and was a little greener in the photos when I ordered it. I don’t dislike this color, but it doesn’t match either of my […]

I was in a bit of cleaning mood last night, so decided to take a tour through my UFO drawer and the spillover on the top of the set of drawers holding the UFO drawer. In the grand scheme of things, I’m actually not that bad off, but the pile is still a little sobering.
Not much going on this weekend. Still reading Titus Groan. I think I’m under a hundred pages from the end, though I still have no idea how long that will take me to get through. On the knitting front, I’ve started and pulled out a lace scarf four times now. The lace is completely kicking

I finished a project! Sure, it’s done entirely in garter stitch, and is shorter than most of my scarves (which may actually be a good thing), but it’s done, which is much better than I can say for the state of my quilting projects. I do like the opportunity to make something more compact with

Well, it’s starting to happen. I could see my breath this morning when I was on my way out the door on the way to work. Which immediately put me in mind of the two plants I have in the backyard that I want to bring in for the winter. We definitely haven’t had any

Is there anything more beautiful then fresh tomatoes from the garden? Especially when they’re heirloom tomatoes, and therefore come in so many pretty colors? As you can see, the cherry tomatoes in my father’s garden have been going crazy. It’s nice to know that even though I don’t have the room/proper light for vegetables, I
