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: 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 […]

Perhaps one could say Jenni developed a matrix juxtapositions of scientists and researchers in settings of… Island life where supplies are delivered every two weeks…no utilities or ground transportation in the Southern Hemisphere contrasting with one of […]

Book Review: The Miraculous Fever Tree-the Cure that changed the world
“Absorbing and SUPERBLY researched” with my emphasis on superbly. I agree with Miranda Seymour! Rocco is an award winning investigative journalist. Her interest in medicine began with her grandparents in Africa in the 1920s. They were blessed to get quinine tablets made locally because cinchona seeds/trees from Peru had been planted there decades earlier. World […]

Book Review: The Bookshop of Yesterdays
This is an amazing book! The setting is LosAngelos, which didn’t appeal to me until the storyline developed fully. Short quotes from classic books (of different genres starting with Shakespeare) expertly punctuated the narrative. Cause of death and paternity was a mystery for Mira, who had been misled. She also processed the enormity of inheriting […]
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
