Every week Life 360 gives me a driver report. My goal is to have all zeros. I don’t understand the phone usage. I have 7 instances nearly every week. I just don’t use my phone while driving. I purposely left it in my bag in the back seat all week. Apparently still managed to use it 7 times.

This pops up in my feed periodically and it always makes me smile. We impact others' lives so many ways and we may never know how. I love that, at least in this case, she knows.

I’m still working on my Fair Isle sweater but I needed a mindless project for days when my brain is just too tired or stressed for a complicated project so I cast this on this morning. Basic stockinette sweater in Finull and Kidsilk haze. More mohair floof. #showmeyourknits

For #showmeyourknits FLOOF week, this is a sweater that I knit last year with Kidsilk Haze and Rauma Finull. I’ve worn this at least weekly this fall. So warm and soft. #kniting

Happy Birthday to my non-social media loving husband!
He wanted lobster for his b-day dinner which reminded me of the first time that we had lobster together.
It was our first weekend trip together, Valentine's Day, and we wanted it to be perfect. Ordered live lobster, rented a cabin in the

That's one of Alice Starmore's sweaters. She's my colorwork hero and I can only aspire to be half as good. She has the best color sense and my favorite of her designs are named after British historical figures. Henry VIII, Ann Boleyn, etc.

I've already ordered yarn for a 2nd one - oranges, reds, yellow, green - and will do something autumnal. I'll need a "palette cleanser" project between two heavy colorwork projects, though.

First motif for the affair Isle sweater is done. I didn’t have enough contrast between the blue and purple in the center. Forgot to check in B&W. I’m going to keep going, though, instead of frogging. #knitting

Starting to sort out the yarn for the Fair Isle sweater. Fingers crossed this works out! This is only about a third of the colors that I ordered but probably a number won’t be used for this project. #knitting

West Yorkshire Spinners has collaborated with the William Morris trust to release William Morris colors and this Strawberry Thief inspired blanket. Love William Morris and Strawberry Thief is a favorite. Might inspire me to knit a blanket. #knittingm #WilliamMorris

I’m still working on designing the Fair Isle sweater so I’m knitting a little cowl as I design. I fell in love with these colors so I’m making it exactly like the sample photo. #knitting

I get the sentiment but at a certain age, without a bra, how are they going to keep your breasts from settling into your underarms? IYKYK.

Another hat for #showmeyourknits. Thus was a special request from a friend who likes to wear a ponytail at her crown. The hat is reversible with a hole at the top for her ponytail. #knitting

New Kaffe Fassett colors in Rowan Kidsilk Haze. If I were to design a perfect pink, this would be it. I just ordered a sweater's quantity even though I have no idea what I'm going to make with it. #knitting
