That’s Life

I had a whole day of knitting planned for yesterday. Dale was going to be leaving first thing in the morning to go to a living history in Connecticut. Hannah was still on Martha’s Vineyard and I was looking forward to a day to myself so I could knit, with occasional breaks for spinning and…

One thing I’ve discovered while being on vacation is that blogging takes discipline. It’s almost like work, for crying out loud. You see, I generally write my blog posts in advance, either first thing in the morning or in the evening. I schedule my writing around my work day just like I schedule food shopping…

This was the sky at the start of the Rox game on Friday night. Grey but not rainy. However, by the middle of the 5th inning, the sky had changed and the rain had arrived. Sheets of rain, to be exact. The field was covered in the hopes that this would turn out to be…

I had planned on posting about spinning today because I have been spinning. And I’ve made some half-way decent looking yarn lately. But, since I never actually photographed the yarn, and now it’s raining, that post is going to have to wait. Instead, I’m going to share some pictures taken at the fair we went…

Remember last year’s sentiment? Yeah, all over again. Happy Independence Day from the CaroleKnits family.

As I may have mentioned last week, today is our 9th wedding anniversary. I certainly can’t top last year’s post and I don’t want to bore you with another wedding photo so I’m showing you a different one. This is my favorite picture ever of Dale and I. We are at the top of Mt…

Of course, my constant companion here on Sleeve Island is the Everyday Cardigan. The sleeves and I are sick of each other but we’re progressing. Would you care to see the things here with us in paradise? There are growing things: Ahhh, peonies in my garden at last. I love their perfume. Speaking of perfume,…

My first poppy of the season bloomed just in time for Memorial Day. In Flanders Fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row Enjoy your cookouts and please remember those who have gone before.

What’s a blogger to do when she’s in a slump? Why, it’s at simple as 1, 2, 3. 1. Hold a contest. Don’t forget to comment! This would be a great opportunity for de-lurking, too. I’m just saying. And look what came in the mail at work yesterday! It would seem that I’m not the…

Well, well, well. Here it is, Monday morning already. Honestly, I don’t have much to show you. Oh, I did a lot this weekend. But nothing with pictures. At least not yet. Mostly what I have is a “honey do” list with a bunch of stuff crossed off. For instance, the border is up in…

My blog is back. Thank goodness! I’ve felt like a fish out of water all morning. Thanks to everyone that inquired about the well-being of Carole Knits. I’m touched that you were worried about me! We now return to our regularly scheduled blog post. Have you seen this handwriting meme? I saw it first at…

Thank you all so much for the good travel vibes for Hannah. It means more than I can say – really. I talked to her late yesterday afternoon and she is having a ball. She had been to Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty and was getting ready to go to Phantom of the…
