1. Non-drowsy cold medicines, of all varieties, make me feel high. I used to think it was just Day-quil, but no. It’s all non-drowsy meds.

I haven’t even felt much like knitting, although I cast on and knit a few inches of my mom’s new fingerless gloves (good lord, this particular shade of lorna’s is beautiful! You would never have known it from the skein, […]

Do you have a little bit of luxury in your stash that you can’t wait to work with?
Why yes, yes I do.
This is Filatura di Crossi “Luxury” 100% silk in a beautiful […]

… or rather, while I wasn’t posting — there was a lot of knitting going on.
[Pardon the photo… I took it last night in the bathroom mirror. Still trying to figure out how to do self-portraits with knit-wear]
Pattern: Purl Beret (thanks to Melissa for turning me on to the project)

I had a post of recent knitting all written and tidy, but my camera battery refuses to charge before the light disappears, so I’ll save it for tomorrow. BUT — I thought I’d share some photos from my recent trip to Colonial Williamsburg and up the Eastern Shore. Before I do, just a note — […]

At long last, it’s time — I’m ready for Sound Swap sign-ups (I can tell already I’m gonna have a good time with alliteration!)

What is Sound Swap?
