Picture heavy post! You have been warned.
Following are the details of my weekend and it was oh, so good. We started off Friday night and had the long drive up into Michigan. The weather was, well, warm and the drive was pleasant. After we checked in and had a good night’s sleep it was time [...]

Lost, kaput, disappeared into thin air. All of my hard work on the newsletter down the drain.
I’m the editor for our State rabbit club newsletter and I knew it needed to be to the printer by last Monday. I got it in on time, barely, but didn’t make a back up. Yea, that’s right, I [...]

I’m sitting in my chair slowly rocking as I type this. The yarn is calling to me from the corner. “Kelli. Kelli. You know you want to knit us. Just one more dish raggy, Kelli. You can make just one more raggy tonight.” I’m trying very hard to resist. The sweet caress of bright [...]

The drive was beautiful, the show was different, the kids were eager to learn. All in all, I would give this day an A.
I have another dish rag on the needles. They are addicting I must say, and the fact that I bought a whole lot of cotton Sugar n Cream does make me want [...]

This sense of peace is accomplished when spinning silk. I have only recently discovered how happy I am when spinning. (Well, that’s not entirely true, I knew I was happy before, BUT I never made time for it.) Hence forth one day a week I am going to spin. Maybe only a few yards, maybe [...]

Woohoo! 290 yards of pretty reds in a slightly heavier than lace weight yarn. I still have a good hunk of my eight ounces left too, so I will be making more of this after State Fair. I just need to set the twist on this. Now I can start my two-ply in the pretty [...]

I have an Ashford Traveller and I let a friend borrow it for part of the summer while I focused on my knitting. I was getting a bit worried though as I was running out of time to finish my entries for the State Fair. Tonight I picked up my wheel and set about creating [...]

The socks are “Here There Be Dragons” pattern by the Keyboard Biologist. I first saw the pattern on Claudia’s Blog. I love the pattern. I’m hooked. It is easy for me, but keeps my attention. If you’re interested, pop over to the Keyboard Biologist and get yourself a fun sock pattern. I am going to [...]
