“i got here followin’ the southern star…

I crossed that river just to be where you are…” Dylan kept me company on my drive to (and from) the north country. I’ve been overusing the word “lovely” lately, but I don’t care. Boh and I had a lovely weekend catching up with a dear friend/accomplished farmer: roaming amidst cattails and piglets, grinding coffee [...]

goodbye, little house.

On our last morning in my casita, Boh and I woke to a red sunrise:

And then we packed and packed, took a trip to the dump to get rid of some unsalvageable oversized things, made one final run to the storage unit, and handed in the keys. Goodbye, little house!

I’ve moved in with dear friends [...]

pinwheels and parties.

Remember pinwheel blanket number two? The one I needed to finish in time for the pre-wedding party of two friends? Well, you can breathe easy. I finished it. (I mean, I may have blocked it in my car and woven in the ends on the back porch of a building said friends were standing in…but [...]

sleepy dog/bright sunrise.

These are self-explanatory. Sunday Market Shawl is coming along — hoping to drop those stitches in the last row soon. Happy Thursday!

“why is bad taste ubiquitous?”

That has absolutely nothing to do with any of the knitting I am going to share with you, even though my clapotis looks more like a blob and less like a glamorous french scarf. Worked on (the also ubiquitous) clapotis yesterday while watching Helvetica (which is far more fun and dramatic in a German accent), [...]

spring sunrise.

I had prettier pictures of the sunrise and the mountains this morning, but I wanted to share this one — see the leaves on the trees? So nice to see green around town here in the Southwest.
Also, even though I’m not sure that you can tell that I’ve made progress, here is a picture of [...]

friday.

In a bit of a hurry this morning — heading to work early — but I glanced out my window and saw this. Also, Hilary of The Yarniad tagged me for a book meme yesterday. Apologies for my lack of links — if you want to know more, these should all be easy to find [...]

good morning.

Normally I hop right out of bed at or before my 6:30 alarm. I’ve been up later than usual this week, and keeping my eyes shut for an extra 15 minutes as the sun comes up and the dog begins to stretch is a wonderful luxury. I’m holding the day’s first cup of coffee, and [...]

dogs and city lights.

A rare moment: taking a breather. Here’s an endearing photo of Boh’s best friend, Radley.

And, because knitting is still out of the question, a slightly earlier morning look at the city lights and the mountains:

Happy Spring.

another west side sunrise

I dropped my first stitch (intentionally) in my Clapotis last night, surrounded by happy thoughts and perhaps some nervous empathy at knitting group. Due to dog circumstances, I haven’t found any time or space to knit over the last few days, so escaping from the madness and sitting down with a chai and knitting friends [...]
