Today we had our final sock class at Yes Yarn and encountered kitchener stitch. After much angst and discussion the class members have managed to make some lovely socks. Including B.’s lovely sock of self striping yarn that “by luck”, or so she claims *g* matches it’s mate perfectly. Last week E. [...]

Recently I had the pleasure of teaching a crochet class at my beloved LYS, Yes Yarn.

Sophie, herself has helped me to regain my knitting mojo. Recently I bought some lovely yarn to knit her a sweater. With her passing, I couldn’t bear looking at that yarn–much less consider knitting it. My dear LYS owner allowed me to exchange the yarn for a different yarn. So now I’m [...]

For the next couple of days I suspect I won’t quite be myself. My beloved canine companion, Sophie, is more than a little under the weather. The vet isn’t happy with her bloodwork and he’s keeping her there for treatment & observation for the next couple of days. If you happen to [...]
