Sometimes, a design starts while I’m knitting alongside my favorite little knitter ~ a great reminder to enjoy & appreciate each stitch!

Northern lights have been playing in the northeast skies. I feel like I’m knitting along to their song.

Thinking of my Dad, and all veterans today. Though he served in World War 2, & received a Bronze medal, my Dad never wished to speak of that time in his life. He did enjoy his socks.

When I started to play with Ellen’s Half Pint Farm 50% Yak and 50% Silk, I knew this 200+ skein of yarn just wanted to become a scarf I’d want to wear all the time!

And, taking a bit of time to knit helps.
