Greetings dear Unravelers and Happy Wednesday! I am starting this post early Tuesday morning after Frankie and I have just watched the most spectacular sunrise! The clouds made for a stunning show!

…brings answers to questions! Last week, I had a very, very chatty “Currently” post and despite how chatty I was, I left some questions unanswered. They were good questions, so thank you Sprite! She asked two questions: “Inquiring minds want to know what Snippets Show Notes are? Thoughts on podcasts you’re listening to?” Question one… […] The post Sometimes Monday | 10.6.25 first appeared on As Kat Knits.| As Kat Knits
Some Most days, the struggle is real in my effort to spark content here. And, confession time, there are many days that I more than consider that this blog has reached its conclusion. However, near as that may feel most days, I am not quite ready to pull the plug here… at least this week. […] The post Currently | 10.3.25 first appeared on As Kat Knits.| As Kat Knits

I had a very big epiphany recently… and it was for me a very radical one. For years… decades? I mean how long have there been online pattern companies who sell a PDF pattern. A long time.

Greetings Unraveler’s and Happy Wednesday! It has been a very, very slow week of making for me this week. I have barely knit a stitch in anything. I know… what the heck?

It's been very slow stitching week at my house... very, very slow! One would think that a basic shape like the double doors of the spring "house" would be one of the easiest bits of the entire project. Ha... it might be if the stitcher could count correctly!
