One new colorway – Wild Violet in silk has been added to the Yarn Shop link on the sidebar! Due to several requests I recreated the colorway I used in my Wild Violet Echo (thank goodness I take notes in the studio) and have two additional skeins available for sale. The creative juices have really…
As I write this I see just a few flakes floating down. Another storm heading east I assume. Our farm is in the foothills of the Ozarks, near Tahlequah, OK. We’ve become hermits this winter – rarely venturing off the farm into what some refer to as civilization. Honestly, I’m looking forward to another round…

4:50pm HIM: Hi – hold on. I’m back, what’s up? ME: I’m a really good knitter. I stink at designing. Stink. HIM: I thought we’d already established that. (we’ve gone through this before) ME: Apparently I needed to remind myself. HIM: So your day didn’t go…
After seeing nolaboard’s Antarctis Stole I coveted one for myself. Season of Lace and Ravelry have that effect on me. I thought of winter in the Antarctic and wanted something dark and rich. Using some stash wool/silk in a nearly navy blue I cast on the Antarctis Stole this past Monday on my way into…
This morning I finally took the Echo Flower off the blocking wires. Chris was a good sport and we tromped out in the snow for some photos. Silk and wellies – that’s how we do it in the country. This is the same pattern I used for Mom’s Pink Champagne shawl but this time with…
The purity of white beckons me. I want to walk into the woods in solitude – deep into the forest, find a quiet shelter and sit. Sit until Nature resumes. Sit huddled in my coat and hat until the birds ignore me, the rabbits and maybe even the field mice accept me. Sit until the…
We stayed up late last night – waiting for the doom. One big crack from a nearby tree was all we heard. Nothing like the constant bombardment of breaking limbs from previous ice storms. I’m sure it’s not over yet but I thought I’d take the time today to offer thanks. Usually when I sit…
August: Osage County is the best thing I’ve ever seen at the PAC. There are numerous reasons this play is winning awards and accolades. Quoting Christopher – “Elote is the new Halim & Mimi’s“. The puffy taco is great but the sweet corn tamales rock my world. Stay safe and warm. var gaJsHost =…
The weather forecast is calling for ice and snow. Impending doom and gloom (for some – I kind of like this kind of weather myself) jump starts Okies into grocery store runs. The shelves will be empty of bread, bottled water, and probably peanut butter by nightfall. We have tickets tonight for August:Osage County at…
