If you were expecting to be raptured and find yourself still here, it’s time to rethink your version of Christianity.

I love that there is a tab here for Dog Pics. When I’m feeling overwhelmed I can look at endless photos of dogs loving life. Not an ad in sight.

I’m giving a presentation for the Windy City Knitting Guild tomorrow night. I’m both excited and ready for it to be over.

Hooray it’s Sock week. I just love these simple socks I made a few years ago using KnitCircus sock yarn in Crocus colorway. They are so bright and make me think Spring.

Ripped out almost 8 inches of a sweater today because I can’t math. 🤬

More sweaters!
I love knitting sweaters and this is another one of my favorites. Let’s Dance combines a simple silhouette with a variety of cables to make a design that is fun and engaging to knit.

I have never had a Twitter/X account, owned a Tesla, used Starlink or flown to space.
Proud of that.

How can soccer be the most popular sport in the world when rugby 7’s exist?

Asked hubby to clean up the toy fluff while I took puppy to training. When I got home, all of the carpets were vacuumed and the hardwood floors were polished. He’s a keeper.

Over 2 feet of snow expected this week and a 13 pound puppy. Should be an interesting week.
