Isn’t the Internet a Funny Thing?
I have two friends who live half a country away from me. I think I’ve met one of them in person once, and that was several years ago. Other than that, our entire relationship is online. We read each others’ blogs; we communicate occasionally via e-mail. We’ve even talked on the phone a couple of […]

WWKIP is June 14
WWKIP Day is just around the bend.. “What?!” You ask. You don’t know what WWKIP Day is? Well, you learn something new every day: World Wide Knit in Public Day.
There might even be a meet-up, knit-in-public event near you. Check out the website: http://www.wwkipday.com/
Otherwise, grab some needles… hit a local coffee shop and work a […]
BSJ #2
I know, it looks a LOT like the last one I made (I used the same yarn) but I found some really fun little engraved heart buttons… neat, huh? I actually don’t think it turned out as well as the last one, but I’m still happy with it. This is a great pattern […]

I came into a place mute of all light,
Which bellows as the sea does in a tempest,
If by opposing winds ‘t is combated.
The infernal hurricane that never rests
Hurtles the spirits onward in its rapine;
Whirling them round, and smiting, it molests them.
When they arrive before the precipice,
There are the shrieks, the plaints, and the […]
Celebrate with Me!
I have officially finished my first knitting pattern. Well, sort of. I’ve made a handful of patterns but never actually worked one up for publication and had it tested out by real knitters until now.
Thanks to several wonderful volunteers over at MenWhoKnit.com, I’ve finished “Tim’s Easiest-in-the-World, Infinitely-Adaptable, Toe-Up Sock Pattern.”
OK, so the title […]

Well, I did it. I finished the Baby Surprise Jacket. This is one of Elizabeth Zimmerman’s classic patterns - her first infant design, I believe and the first time I’ve worked up one of her patterns. It’s a bizarre pattern, by all definitions. The whole thing is made in a single […]

Have you ever seen something that you really wanted to like, but the reality wasn’t nearly what you’d hoped for.
Well, that was my experience with Crystal Palace Yarn’s “Maizy.” I picked up a 50 g. ball (205 yards… sock weight) the other day at Allegan’s new LYS: Books, Coffee & Friends (actually, it’s an […]
Bidenominational Hymnal, Worship Commission & a few thoughts
Bidenominational Hymnal:
This has been a crazy week. It started out with church canceled (due to weather) on Sunday (putting me two sermons behind for the beginning of my thesis project - not a big deal though). Monday and Tuesday were filled with a meeting for a new joint hymnal project between the […]
What is a D.Min.?
I’ve been asked a couple of times what the difference between a D.Min. and a PhD are and so, although I’m no expert, I thought I’d give it a shot. I am working on my D.Min. (Doctor of Ministry) which, unlike a PhD, is a ministry-based degree. What I mean by that is that a […]
