    Knit 1, Sip 1 (round 3)

    Happy Tuesday, also known as the second Monday of the week. And boy, has this day been a real Monday. That means we are in for another round of Knit 1, Sip 1! Spring is finally here in central Virginia, so we are bringing the cocktails. It is time for a cool drink, some knitting, and some mindless television. That, my friends, is what I call relaxing. Can self-care include cocktails? I think my self-care includes cocktails. Today, we are drinking amaretto sours. The beauty of

    Knit 1, Sip 1

    I have always thought about doing drink and knitting pattern pairings, similar to drink and food pairings. I find a nice wine or fun cocktail relaxing in the same way that I find knitting relaxing. What is better than knitting one, then sipping one? Today I start with a local spiced wine spiking my hot apple cider. This pairs well with a pattern like a washcloth. The pattern may be a little more challenging - counting may be involved. If you make a mistake, frogging is easy,

I keep thinking I will just get through this week and then I will get a break...and then I find myself filling up that time too. When I was shopping at all those wonderful yarn shops last weekend, I kept getting asked what I liked to knit. My answer - things that knit quickly.

    Finished Object Friday (volume 2)

    We made it to the weekend! Phew. Let me start with a little personal oversharing. I have a badly herniated disc in my neck that is compressing my spinal cord. Yup, that is as painful as it sounds. And because I am stubborn, I put off surgery longer than I should. But it is finally scheduled for June 12, and let me tell you, I am counting down the minutes. I have never been so happy to watch the days pass quickly! So another Friday is a win for me. I'm probably not unique in t

    Finished Object Friday (volume 1)

    Happy Friday! Welcome to our first Finished Object Friday. I kinda cheated this time. Since this is the first FOF post, I didn't actually knit everything this week. I did finish everything this week, so I feel like that is in the spirit of the post. Especially when you take into account how much I hate the actual finishing process. I let my projects stack up while I keep knitting, hoping elves will sneak into my office and weave in ends while I sleep. It hasn't happened yet,
