be mine

My Mr. NK is the bestest!
He can pull off the Brooklyn Tweed look like there's no tomorrow!

He does the happy dance  even when it's gray.

Did I mention that he's a comedian extraordinaire?!! 

(no models were hurt, but we don't suggest you try this without adult supervision!)

What more could a girl ask for in her Mr. NK??

Happy Valentine's Day!!xo

Love puts the fun in together,

the sad in apart,

and the joy in a heart.

The hat...you want to know about the hat?? It's the Christopher hat knit in MadTosh Vintage

bright lights, big city

Actually...a city park...on a gloriously sunny afternoon last weekend.

A preview of things to come...

...finished socks...

...and Spring!

Wishing you a bright and wonderful weekend! xo

O, wind, if winter comes, can spring be far behind?

I've noticed a trend in the subject matter of the quotes I've been appending to the end of blog posts. Many of them have to do with progress...I wish I had more to show you more often, but apparently progress takes time...in some cases lots of time! I believe my second most frequent topic is patience :)

I modified these Toasty Twist socks by knitting my new favorite heel...the linen stitch heel. I heart it!

Happy Wednesday! I hope you're having a fantastic week!

Progress, of the best kind, is comparatively slow.

Great results cannot be achieved at once;

and we must be satisfied to advance in life as we walk,

step by step.

~Samuel Smiles

sunday play

When I play with my cat, who knows whether she is not amusing herself

with me more than I with her.

~Michel de Montaigne

lives

When we do the best that we can,

 

we never know what miracle is wrought in our life,

or in the life of another.

~Helen Keller

imagination

This world is but a canvas to our imaginations.

~Henry David Thoreau

beatitude

If you see this from your front door...

...the wise woman turns around and does this.

A little drowsing cat is an image of a perfect beatitude.

~Jules Champfleury
