With the Holidays in our rear view, ahead is simply new adventures, ideas, projects---my mind races with all the designs I have mentally qued. I so wish I could knkit as fast as my mind jumps from profect to project.

However, this is such a wonderful time for me. I am able to experiment with new yarns such as my recent purchase from StevenBe Fri, 10 Jul 2020 23:35:19 -0400 https://www.starlightknit.com/post/881706699294/new-designs-for-starlight-knit https://www.starlightknit.com/post/881706699294/new-designs-for-starlight-knit?pub=1594438519 When I first walked into Knitting Addiction in Kitty Hawk, NC I was instantly amazed, in utter awe, seriouly like a kid in a candy shop! This tstore is HUGE! The yarn selection is truly the best I have ever seen.

I myself just recently had one of these moments and I am so thankful! I have been knitting for many years (ok decades) and have considered myself to be an expert knitter.

Home is certainly where you live. It is where you build your life, make memories, love, laugh, cry, relax and are completely yourself surrounded by those you love. Home is a special place where you can recharge and rebalance yourself.

The seasons change from Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter and each provide the most wonderful scents, visions, sounds and of course feelings. Now that we are officially in the summer season I wanted to talk about summer in Northern New England.

So at a very young age, I learned about "Buyers Remorse." Most of the time, I was thankful to follow my mother's advice until that one time I had what I call "Lost Buyers Remorse".

Creating Outlander Inspired knits has been such a wonderful historical knitting experience.
