Happy New Year to you all (or y’all or youse, or yunz)! And why doesn’t English already have a way to distinguish between addressing one person or a multiple?? We have had to make up our own, and every region seems to have its own solution. Just one of the ways English is such a ..read more

Brr! Purl and I just got back from her morning walk, she enjoying the balmy 27-degree temperature and I waiting and shivering while she found the exact right spot approximately 4,000 times and finally accomplished the goal. Owning a dog is not for lovers of sleeping in unless you are also a lover of cleaning ..read more

I don’t know about you, but my knitting goes through phases. Every now and then, I can’t find anything that inspires me, and I plod along on something that doesn’t thrill me until I get over it. I’m happy to say this doesn’t happen often or for very long! Right now I’m in the opposite ..read more

West Reading’s lovely old trees are changing from that bright summer green to a darker tone, heralding autumn. To the delight of the neighborhood squirrels ..read more

How’s your summer going? Mine is getting busier, as we ramp up for fall, exploring new classes, looking at new yarns we love, and making plans for new projects. I’m still (!!) working on my aran cardigan, heading down the first sleeve. It’s slow and intricate work, but I think this lovely classic will be ..read more

Gosh, I’ve been having a lazy summer! Here it is almost mid-July and I’ve really just been coasting since May. It’s kind of pleasant, actually, but it can’t go on forever, can it? I’m not going to answer that, but I’ve finally started a challenging project instead of hitting the easy button over and over ..read more

First things first: This week will be spotty at the shop. I’m having work done at my house on Thursday and don’t have a time yet so I might be open and I might not! Is this any way to run a railroad? No, but we aren’t busy enough this time of year to worry ..read more

A couple of months ago, I wrote about my ex-husband and his gradual succumbing to cancer. Well, he died in hospice a few days ago, and I wanted to thank everyone who sympathized with us and expressed concern. He had a talent for making and keeping friends, as shown by the visits and calls from ..read more
