I wish I had a better update for you, however I’ve barely gotten more than 20 minutes worked on this piece over the last month. I’ve started on my third color for this section and we’re finally adding a little bit of color to all the black / very dark blue. Not that you can […]

First Friday Fiction: Calling Out to the Great Unknown
I have come shuffling in ten minutes late, but I will say that I had this post written up before midnight on Friday, so it counts as a Friday Fiction more than the last post I made. If I’m honest I wish I had more time to polish just about everything about this post. I’ll […]
Sock it to Me: The Heel Turns
May was one of the rare months where we got five weeks instead of four, so here’s a quick update on the socks I have been making: I have passed the heel! I would be even further along, however I made a mess when first knitting the back of the heal. I am going to […]
Baking, my Beloved: Why? Baking Breakdowns.
Some days my abilities to bake seem to have just flown away and left me behind. 95% of the time I’d rate my baking ability between good and great depending on what I’m making, but some days I look at the baked good sitting on the stove top cooling and just go “how?!?” Once, while […]
Mid-month Middle Earth 8
The second color went much quicker than the first. Despite my fears, I was able to tell the very dark blue from the black thread, so long as I had decent lighting. I’ve now made my way onto my third color, a dark green. I’m hopeful I’ll get more done soon, especially now that the […]
Sock It To Me
I have decided to finally try to knit socks. I will credit this to the wonderful little book I got from the public library which provided me with a simple, basic sock pattern. If you are interested it is called The knitter’s handy book of patterns: basic designs in multiple sizes & gauges by Ann […]
First Friday Fiction: An Emerald Hoard
One of these days I am going to get my first Friday Fiction posted on Friday again, but today is not that day! I wanted to have this up as early as Saturday but one part of the story was really fighting me and I had to re-write it three different times until it worked […]
A Dozen Hot Cross Buns
It was Easter last Sunday so I decided to make some fresh hot cross buns for a sweet start to the holiday. Most of the recipes I found called for raisins, which I’m not super fond of, but I decided to include them in light of being accurate to the recipe. I ended up using […]
Mid-month Middle Earth 7
I have finally moved onto the second color! Unfortunately, since I was picking the color based on the symbol on the pattern sheet I am currently adding black to the very dark blue already on the pattern. Because of that it may be harder to tell where the new color is compared to the old […]
On a Wing and a Prayer Shawl: The Finished Project
I finished the shawl! That was probably obvious by the title of the post but I am very excited with how the shawl turned out. The colors look just as good as I had hoped and the edging turned out much nicer on the final project than I thought it would as I was working […]
