“Science investigates; religion interprets.

Science gives man knowledge, which is power; religion gives man wisdom, which is control.

Science deals mainly with facts; religion deals mainly with values.

The two are not rivals.”-Martin Luther King Jr.

Last week was a tiring week. I think we had an appointment every day except one. This week seems like a resting week since we only have two appointments. I just want to put my feet up and knit. What are you doing this week? The Frog Pond awaits on Monday and Wednesday with 2 hours of relaxation, coffee and tea.

Full Blown CKM (Christmas Knitting Mode.) It is paying off. Of course I couldn’t do without Ken to pick up the slack. I am so lucky to have him and so very grateful he is part of my life.

New Student. I have neglected to mention my newest member of the Frog Pond. Donna has been coming since well before Halloween. In her spare time she runs a ( Read more... )

Thanksgiving week is here. I took Wednesday off to help get some stuff together. Actually Ken did most of it but I needed to tell him what to do.

Beyond the Basics. From time to time I schedule classes in my Beyond the Basics section for knitters and crocheters that want to learn a little more than basic how to knit and how to crochet. Are you ( Read more... )

Monday was Federal holiday for Veteran’s Day. Ken hasn’t been able to enjoy any of his freebies this year. His back is hurting him, poor guy. But I still appreciate his service.

Veterans’ Day! Veteran’s Day is Sunday but also designated as a Federal Holiday next Monday. Further down in my newsletter I have posted some sweet restaurant deals that say Thank You for Your Service to our veterans and active duty.

Are you in Christmas Knitting Mode (CKM) or Christmas Crisis Knitting Mode (CCKM)? I am furiously entrenched in CKM and hope to avoid CCKM this year. I have deadlines imposed inside my head. We shall see what I can do to achieve them. *wiggles eyebrows*

We’re almost upon Halloween. But my mind has skipped ahead to Christmas. I am anxious to get my tree up, gifts knitted and wrapped, and in the mail. I know I’m not the only knitter to feel like this. How about you? Are you ready for Christmas yet?

This Year I Have Practiced Monogamy. I have found myself to be a happily monogamous knitter. By this I mean finishing one project before starting a new project. I find that I finish projects quicker this way too which is a big plus.

In the past it was not unusual for me to have 6 or 7 projects going at the same time.

However there are some ( Read more... )

Happy Birthday Estelle! Estelle, Aaron and my dad came over to celebrate Estelle’s birthday on Sunday. She loved her blue alpaca sweater that I made for her, the opal earrings and her other gifts. This girl stole my heart the day she was born and has held it ever since. I can’t imagine my life without her.
