In theory, I am a process knitter.  It leverages time, which flies by too quickly anyway.  Rhythmic motion keeps me focussed on things I’d rather not concentrate.  Other times, click, wrap and pull allows me to escape my circumstances and let my mind wander.  Time on public transit or otherwise waiting becomes moments of pleasurable [...]

Screech!  The Pontiac pulls off the country road and it’s my turn to scramble out of the back seat.  Jumping over the ditch and into the grass, my dad hollers, “over by the post to the left.”

We chatted about upcoming [...]

With needles clicking, wheels spinning and the chocolate fountain flowing
, the dream became reality on Saturday night.  As you can imagine, there were many beautiful FO’s and UFOs in a room full of 150 fiber lovers.  Whoop!  was heard quite a few times in the Atrium Saturday night at the @GuidoS Dreamy After Party.  The door [...]
