Wow it’s been a looong time and wow have I been busy on the sticks!

My latest WIP (work In progress) that I just finished up over the weekend is this retro grannie crop vest.

You can find it on ravelry. I plan on making a spring one in mid March as a knit along❤️

I love it!

Never miss a travel opportunity to visit a local yarn store!

Yarn is the fiber of life….

Just got this book from Amazon last night and had not planned on being in tears over my coffee this morning reading the intro.

Where are my yarnies at? What’s on your needles? Send pic!

Happy spring!
April flowers bring may flowers….. and…… Mental Health awareness month!

If you are human, you have stress…..
Take a chance on learning or reacquainting yourself with some yarn…..

Did you know the the feel of the fiber and the rhythmatic movements decreases the stress hormone cortisol? Or that it increases the good happy serotonin that helps us feel joy?

This April I will be leading local Maine knit a longs around the Portland Maine area….
Places, times, and locations to be announced….. materials will be free as supplies last- at my in person classes….all levels welcome just show up! (Hoping to lure some ER staff to the lobby post day shift to learn some self mental health love.)

Until then…. Go get some sticks (knitting needles or crotchet hooks) and some yummy yarn.

Much thanks to The Goodwill of New England who has granted me a $3600 gift card to slurp live on SMHC ER emergency department acute psychiatric ward. I get to buy self help books for the two free little libraries and today they discounted all of the yarn supplies to $10 for this huge bin!
