About Me!My name is Trish, and I love knitting! No, I’m not particularly good at it, but not being particularly good at something has never stopped me before, so why not? My father’s mother taught me to crochet when I was probably about 6 years old. I made the world’s longest chain stitch snake, until I got bored with that, then made tons of uneven doll blankets after that. (I was even creative enough to realize they were uneven, so I started making “triangle doll blankets” on purpose. Yeah, right.) Within a few years I was making real projects and enjoying myself immensely, and fast forward to about five years ago when my carpal tunnel and arthritis suddenly made it impossible to crochet anymore. Then about two years ago in 2004 I could no longer stand my yarn-less lifestyle and I became determined to learn to hand knit. (I won’t talk about my brief foray on the Bond Incredible Sweater Machine, where the biggest thing I learned was how much I hate to sew sweaters together!)

I had originally intended to keep this stuff up on my personal blog, but this is the blog that I update most often. So, I thought I’d share my writings here. Thanks for reading! Contents Doing Yesterday’s Work Tomorrow This is an article I wrote while in college during the last weeks of the semester before Christmas Break. Seeing as it’s the holiday season at the moment that I am posting this, I thought I’d share it here, now. Enjoy! A Journey to Motherhood I wrote an article for now-defunct Horizons Newspaper, in Maryland, shortly after the birth of my daughter. Over the next several years the article was republished in excerpts or in updated forms. A couple of existing versions are linked from this page. What I Am Thankful For This is my blog post from Thanksgiving Day, 2008. I often struggle to remember the simpler things. Perhaps I need to read my own words more often. The Christmas Spirit I wrote this little story of Christmas in 1979, when I was just 14 years old. I remember…

New Look?

I’ve been playing with the look of my blog banner and background over the last day or two. Of course, it HAS to be purple… But what do you think? I thought about using a stock photo of someone’s hands knitting but my, ahem, technique is so unique to me that I had to use an image of my own hands. That’s my own Clapotis in the image, too. Hey, at least I didn’t use any generic images! Thanks for looking… hopefully I’ll have a knitting related update tomorrow.
