Baby Blanket
This blanket is knitted with technique new to me, two strands simultaneously. Yes, the tie for this blanket is the result of my first attempt knitting the blanket. My salvaged “do over” is just the right dimension to make a tie.

Book Review: Code Girls
This is an amazing “behind the scenes” story, only recently declassified. The subject and situation are both very complex. I look forward to a film version (like the movies Hidden Figures and Green Book set in the 1960s). Personal Note: In 2008, I joined a reunion of Marines with my father-in-law who fought on IWO […]

When inspiration hits dirt

For the first time I ordered strawberry, raspberry and asparagus roots. The good news (maybe) is that I reconsidered where to plant strawberries and asparagus to prevent them from becoming snacks for wildlife. These are my […]

The American College of Dressmaking in Kansas City published The American Dressmaker textbook in 1906. I assume this instruction became part of Home Economics curriculum some decades later. I digress… the title The Dressmaker’s […]

The content is detailed with MANY footnotes. Excellent questions are posed. The content is absolutely relevant to matters that influence “these days and times” at home and abroad. […]

Book Review: The Winding Ways Quilt
I have had quilts all my life…gifts from both grandmothers and a bonus from Great grandmother Hall (photo on the “About” page). Until I browsed the aisles of the Used Book Store in White Pine, TN I did not know there was a series of books on quilts and quilting. I bought four of […]
I love knitting with two different strands. I’ve made several purses with this technique. It really changes the color and dimension of the yarn verses a single thread. Also, it’s helpful when you want a thicker feel without having to use a heavier yarn.
Currently I knitting a shrug (John calls it a “half sweater”) from lace weight yarn and size 4 needles. I have 331 stiches on my needles. One row takes about 30-45 minutes, depending on how many times I have to “tink” (knit backwards or unravel). ❤ pimla15
331 stitches! I would be “tinking” more than knitting. Thanks for the new vocabulary! elfcroft
