Impulse quilt - saw an antique quilt like this online and immediately needed to make my own. 💕 #quiltsky

Feels good to know I’m not the only one who thinks this is not only bizarre but unkind

I had to move a very large spider from the corner of the window this morning to wash the window. This afternoon she is plotting revenge. That new web line looks thick enough to hang yourself with.

Just like a toddler - so sweet when she’s asleep. And like a toddler, hell on wheels when she’s awake.

Can anyone identify this quilt pattern? This is an unquilted top I inherited, 74” x 102”. Squares are 1” - all hand pieced 😳

After an afternoon of mowing and yard work, there is nothing like an ice cold beer in a Red Sox jersey. The beer, not me. #redsox

Several years of wanting Lauren’s Grape poppy in my garden and waiting too long to order the seeds, then a couple years of getting to it in time and them not sprouting - finally! Deepest purple on light gray green foliage 💕 #bloomscrolling

Couldn’t figure out why the dog was going nuts wanting out on the deck late last night. Clearly it was because Jimothy came to visit

Found a local indie dyer at The Big Crafty in Asheville today - such a charming young lady with gorgeous yarns dyed with natural dye stuffs. This one was dyed with madder. www.aknittershomestead.com

Finally took a picture of the Pemberton Pullover (with collar borrowed from Ingrid by Petite Knit). Most of the knitting took place in the hospital while my husband was recovering from a major illness. Wonder how long it will carry that stigma #knits #knitsky

I’m not sure exactly when he ascended the throne, but he clearly thinks he’s not getting the deference he deserves.

We’ve been in this house 10 years this month. How it started/how it’s going April 28, 2016/April 23, 2026

From my Hinterland sweater made several years ago. I still think it’s funny that I didn’t realize the design was trees until I finished it and looked at it from a distance 😂 #knits #knitsky #showmeyourcolorwork

Not much to look at yet but I am in love with that deep hunter green. Such a great contrast with the light grey too! #knitting #knitsky #showmeyourgreens

😳 I switched to using KnitCompanion on my tablet about 10 years ago and will NEVER go back. That yellow line (you can change the color) slides to highlight the row you’re on.

First time working a sewn bind off (here on the neckline of the Alchemist pullover) and I am IN LOVE! It’s too time consuming to use everywhere, but for an elegant, smooth finish on a neck? *chef’s kiss #knits #knitsky

London may be a dreary, drizzly nightmare most winter days, but I do love a moody evening sky
