We saw the first crocuses today and thought of Grandma and how much she loved hearing that our first flowers were up.

Goodbye, big doggie
The world is short about 100 pounds of pure love today. Rest in peace, Orion. Go chase Foofy.
(For those of you who are scratching your heads and thinking, “But Meghan doesn’t HAVE a dog…” Ori lived in Arizona with my first husband and my other erstwhile dog, Bailey.)
I heard that sound!
So long, Foofy
Joys will never end
Merry Christmas to the Wise and Wonderful Betty Gray
This is the “shawlette” I made for my Grandma after they lost hers in the laundry at the nursing home. (It’s a wonderful facility, btw.) I did not make any notes because I have no intention of making another, but I held two strands of acrylic (wouldn’t want the institutional laundry to boil a nice wool, now) together to make it work up faster… one novelty and one worsted. The second skein of green turned out to exist only in my head, which is why you see it switch to pink…The body of the piece is worked in 2 & 2 rib and bordered on the neck side with moss stitch. I shaped everything with short rows and by increasing/decreasing to add/remove ribs as needed. And the flower? Well, now… that’s just what we do when there’s a spectacular decrease error right at the shoulder.
