My six-year-old’s buddy had a birthday party today, and we wanted to make him something special. Enter our friend Sock Puppet. We’ve made a few of these before, but this time I thought I’d share the steps here, in case you’d like to make your own striped friend. Eamonn chose all of the yarn colors […]

Welcome! Pour yourself a nice hot cup of coffee or tea, grab a slice of blueberry pound cake, and have a seat. This morning we’ll be chatting with Alicia Paulson of Posie Gets Cozy. This is the first in what I hope will be a weekly-ish series. We’ll sit down with some of my favorite […]
Read More: Morning Coffee with Alicia PaulsonLast week I alluded to the next knitting project I wanted to tackle. It’s a summer shawl, written for needle-knitters. I have a tendency to think that any project that involves knitting a flat panel can easily be translated from the needles to the loom. To some extent, that’s true, but perhaps using the word […]

Eamonn and I were baking bread last week when he said, out of the blue, “how come you don’t knit anymore?” The honest answer? I was in the middle of a Spring scarf sometime in April, when I got to the end of the skein, and I was too lazy to go upstairs for the […]

I should have known this would happen. It’s practically a given. If I’m going to spend a week being under the weather and stuck in the house, then as soon as I feel well, I am going to take myself to the nearest shopping center and do a little damage to my wallet. The more […]

It was Tuesday night. Aidan had been coughing and feverish for a day or so, and Eamonn was nestling in to me on the couch in a way that could only say “I’m coming down with it, too.” Truth be told, I was feeling somewhat sluggish myself, and so I did what any sane person […]

That’s where I’ve been lately. There have been birthday parties to prepare for, birthday parties to host, and a different birthday party to attend. And in my downtime, what little of it there has been, I have been putting the final nail in my laptop‘s coffin. This is a problem, because I’m still not entirely […]

Or, How to Make an Ugly Vest in Four Easy Steps. This is my first knitted garment, and I knew within the first few rows of knitting that I wasn’t really going to like it much. But I pressed on, because I wanted to learn the mechanics of vest-making, do a little experimenting, and use […]

Yesterday was low-key, which is just how I like it for Valentine’s Day. It’s never been one of the “big” holidays for me, and I’d just as soon skip it, were it not for the little people around here. You can’t really ignore holidays when kids are involved. They seem to like having excuses to […]

As I type, the mercury is creeping up past 62 degrees. I’m wearing shoes without socks, a lightweight shirt, and fun daisy earrings. Several of the windows in the house are open in an effort to flush out the staleness of winter, and I’ve decided to pick up Aidan from school today so he won’t […]
