About Me:
I learned to knit as a kid but did not keep up with it. When my mother passed away more than 14 years ago, I didn't want our family tradition of her knitted Christmas stockings to go by the wayside. So I picked up knitting again and became addicted to it.

Thank you, KP!!! You outdid yourself! So did I dye and go to Heaven or to Hell? Oh, am I the Scarlett Pimpernel?

"We seek him here,
we seek him there

Those Frenchies seek him everywhere!

Is he in heaven? Or is he in hell?

That demmed Elusive Pimpernel?


Well, knitters, I've been having a hard time getting back into blogging. I just can't seem to consistently get myself organized.

I've been very

An Ode to Kathy

I wish this could be an ode to my sister, but I am not a poet and any poem I could write would not do justice to my sister Kathy. So instead I will tell you a little bit about her.


Kathy was always very quiet and never got in trouble. She was dyslexic. This was before dyslexia was talked ab

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my sister, Kathy!

Susan BKL and Peggy Stuart are wonderful at goading me into new experiences. Along with Irene Soileau, they talked me into posting pictures and blogging. Then Susan and Peggy convinced me I should try my hand at spinning. I was always reluctant to spin because I felt that I wanted to concentrate on knitting. After hearing Ann Shayne [½ of the Mason Dixon say she had no intentions of learning to spin, I thought, “Okay, I don’t need to spin. I doContinue

Sometimes Life Just Gets in the Way

Please accept my deepest
apologies for such a long time in between my blogs. First there was an appeal that interfered. Then in the middle of the appeal, my computer crashed. Then a complaint in Federal court had to be amended. Another matter had discovery due. Then the other attorney we are working with, offices from his home. His house and office were destroyed by fire. All his files were destroyed. He and his wife are okay, but their three cats did not make it. It’s been more t

I love dogs of any size, but you're right, the bigger they are, the more they think they belong in laps. I have a cocker spaniel that's never been a lap dog, but she's one of the sweetest dogs I've ever met. She's spoiled to the blanket that I made her along with one of my jackets that she's decided is more hers than mine.

Thanks Cheryl. Titus always thinks so too. He's a very spoiled "baby", 75lbs and loves to sit/lay in my lap when I'm visiting.

Thanks, Cheryl. I appreciate your insight very much. I'll keep practicing, but instead of throwing out any "missteps", I'll use them as stuffing for my pit bull "nephew's" pillow that I'm crocheting. He'd enjoy that very very much. He already thinks that anything that he sees me working on is his. He doesn't realize that I don't just knit and crochet for puppies.

Thanks, Cheryl. I was given a little over 2 ounces of alpaca fiber when I bought my drop spindle. I'm working on spinning it now. It's not perfect, but I'm having a good time working with it and am looking forward to knitting with my own handspun yarn one of these days.

I got several of the Wool of the Andes roving. Can't wait for it to arrive so I can work on it.

Thanks, Cheryl. I just learned how to spin with a top whorl drop spindle from a friend Tuesday night. I'm waiting for an order of roving from Knit Picks so I can really practice. Can't wait to really get into spinning my own yarn.
