  • knitCompanion NG: A Review

    knitCompanion NG is a powerful knitting app that can be found in the iOS and Android App Stores.  As a Mac Head, so to say, I’m writing about the iOS version in this review. When you open the app, you will find it looks radically different from the old version (now called Legacy kC).  I…

  • Thursday Thoughts

    Today was a good day.  My boss “let the spirit move him” and gave me one of the Mary Baldwin Yeti cups I had been coveting.  I am Yeti obsessed (this makes my 6th Yeti product) and I’m already coveting Yeti’s new spring colors.  So I might end up with one of those in my…

    Much Needed Snow Day!

    Today was a snow day.  I haven’t had one in forever.  It’s now 3:00pm and let me tell you I can’t remember the last time I was able to lay around and be this lazy, nor can I remember the last time I got so many things accomplished.  I finished knitting a cowl I had…

    And Just Like That, It’s Over

    The semester, that is. I can’t believe I only have one semester left of graduate school standing between me and a degree.  I’m so looking forward to being done, mostly. Even though I don’t know what will happen after that.  The million dollar question. Here’s some snippets of what I’ve been up to since the…

    Tonight’s Adventures

    I’ve been crafting and cooking tonight.  I’ve made a bunch of vinyl decals and I’ve made some buffalo chicken in the Instant Pot. I’ve started reading a new book, which you’ll hear more about later.  I’m just happy to be in a crafty kinda mood.  I’m also obsessed with this instant pot.  I’ve been having…
