Conflict
What I want to do is tell you all about our trip and the lovely things we did while we were gone. What I should do is tell you all about the new book that's going up for preorder on Friday. So let's strike a compromise. I'll share three pictures [...]
Loot
I went to Rhinebeck and didn't buy yarn. I know this sounds a bit odd, but I get rather frazzled when I find myself somewhere crowded. I bailed out after less than three hours. I wanted very badly to be elsewhere, so we left. Luckily, we were up in Maine [...]
And a Good Plan it Was
There was a plan. It was a plan that involved me finishing the hat and the mitts while we were up here and taking pictures here. I even demonstrated an impressive amount of forethought and planning by bringing appropriate blocking gear and the stuff to make my hair all shiny [...]
Toasty
I'm clearly overdue to tell you about Rhinebeck. My only excuse is that we've gone of on a bit of an excursion after, and, when faced with the choice between staring at my computer or gazing out across the water, the water wins. But I have found one of the [...]
Extras
The hat and cuffs are done. Even done and blocked. But there was far too much yarn left to just let it sit about unused, so I decided to do an alarmingly small scarf. It will be a wee little thing, just the sort of fluff that wraps around your [...]
As Promised
Despite that wee bit of pre-trip knitting that resulted in the unexpectedly early completion of the hat and one mitt, I did manage to save some knitting for the trip. As proof, I offer the mitt on the needles on the conveniently photogenic moldering log located beside the place we [...]
More Provisions
And, lest you think yesterday's herb salts were the only things we made ahead and packed along with us, allow me to remind you of the hot chocolate paste. As with the herb salts, this was all explained last year. This hot chocolate paste has become such a staple part [...]
Provisions
Yes, we are off on our annual fall excursion. And yes, I will doubtless be detailing it all at alarming length over the next few weeks. But before we left, we had the traditional herb massacre and making of herb salts. I wrote all about making herb salts last year [...]
Best of Intentions
I meant for this to be road knitting. Really I did. But the hat was finished, and I had just a few minutes, and I felt like knitting. Then, somehow, all of a sudden...there it was. All I can say is that it is damn cute, and I'm not really [...]
Ahead of Schedule
I know that this was supposed to be road knitting. And I know that this is a finished hat perched on my back fence. All I can say is that it's an easy pattern, it's a pretty yarn, and sometimes I fall prey to knitting spurts and need to bang [...]
