It’s my friend’s birthday today & I was so worried that she’d become the newest member of The Bad Birthday Club… but, thankfully, I don’t think that will happen. It’s bleak & agonizing, though, no doubt about that. I hope that peace comes soon. Try to be a rainbow in someone’s cloud. ~Maya Angelou I… Continue reading 10.30: Coloring my world| knitorious
I don’t usually announce blog breaks, especially since my posts are way more sporadic than they were “back in the day.” This break might be a while. I can barely write, and I’m not reading, either. My best friend of nearly 50 years is losing her 44yo son to Huntington’s disease. Things are progressing quickly… Continue reading 10.21: Taking a break| knitorious

The original plan for this crocheted granny square throw was 5 squares wide by 7 tall. As of Tuesday night, I had 35 squares — 33 according to the chart I made, and 2 that I’d made previously. There’s my stack o’ squares! And there’s my final layout. I considered adding another column, but I… Continue reading 9.25: Sewing up| knitorious
Other than possibly a little thrift store or book store shopping & blanket delivery (with breakfast), the only other solid thing on our to-do list over the weekend was dinner at a great restaurant. We snagged the last reservation/seating on Friday at Myriel, home of Chef Karyn Tomlinson, who recently won Best Chef Midwest at… Continue reading 9.18: Art Break| knitorious
