• July 14, 2019 Peer Pressure is Powerful: Shawl Edition

  At some point this year I realized that everyone with a knitting needle or a crochet hook seemed to have spent the prior 6 months making shawls - except me.  I've made about 500 cowls, but no shawls.  I dunno why - just hadn't caught the bug.  Until now.  (Don't judge, peer pressure is powerful.)

  

• July 02, 2019 Summer Like a Wrecking Ball

  Yep, it's here.  Every year I think I'm going to miraculously manage to be fully invested in summer and the farm and yoga and my business, and it's all going to go so smoothly and nothing will fall through the cracks, and I'm going to feel incredibly chill about the whole thing. 

  And then, you know, reality arrives.

  

• June 05, 2019 Shifty Update

  My Shifty Sweater is rolling along - body finished, time for the sleeves.  However, as I mentioned on Instagram last night, sleeves can be kind of anti-climactic.  And a pain in the ass to actually knit.  But eureka! Today a friend reminded me that I could get both sleeves started, and then knit them both at the same time on two needles (or magic loop, but I prefer two circular needles.) 

  

• May 30, 2019 In the Middle of the Crazy

  I read a post by Jen Hatmaker on Facebook yesterday, and I was 100% with her.  Yes!  Tell it! This time of year is kicking my ass!  Too many things come together at once, right? But school will end, and summer baseball will happen, and I will make a plan so that my business doesn't grind to a halt while I'm sitting at baseball fields for 15 of the 30 days of June (not really joking there), and I will not forget how to do yoga, and I will keep journaling and knitting and running, and I will figure out how to find a vegetable or two while we're on the baseball field dining plan.
