“….wool is very far from beautiful on the on the creature’s back…it is all matted and dirty, often fairly covered with filth. It must take a good many processes…to change that foul and tangled fleece into the beautiful skeins of all colors…” The Secret of Everyday Things -Jean-Henri Casimir Fabre
I’m an artist and crafter living in Portland OR among a multitude of books and a growing stash of yarn. Knitting competes with my affection for mixed media arts which often includes sewing, quilting, painting and collage. When I am not working on a sedentary craft I like to be outside in nature or organizing things in my wee home. One of my best skills is starting new projects but I finish everything eventually. This blog is mostly about my creative pursuits and anything else that may relate to Oregon, rain, slugs, sheep, nature, gnomes, handmade things, sugary foods, my worm compost…and a way to track all of the ongoing, unfinished projects.

Fabulous website, photos, creativity and personality. I checked out ALL the archives.
Y’all (I’m from Texas) look like candidates for the one thing project that they’re just testing out the website. http://www.onething.zazengo.com
What a ‘find’. Think I’ll go see if I can find my knitting needles and start a…scarf.
Love your site Katie. I, like Alice, explored all of the archives. I began knitting again this Spring when I began looking for a home to purchase. Yesterday I closed escrow in Bellingham, WA. I hope to do a lot of weaving in the Great Pacific Northwest beginning in January. You are an inspiration to me. Keep on, keepin’ on. Love, Aunt Charlotte
