My mind is having a hard time wrapping around the idea that students are heading back to school already. Our daughter has her first day of classes today! We are all thrilled that she will be in-person; last year’s remote learning really took a toll on all students. She should receive this her Smart Cookie care package today! I am a fan of Spoonful of Comfort…they make celebrating little moments so easy.
If you have students moving into their first apartments, take a gander at this First Apartment Tips and Checklist post.
I’m going to let you in on a little secret…a while ago Annie’s Craft Store approached me about selling my knit purse pattern on their site. I agreed and so folks can and do purchase this pattern for $6.49. But, as Nourish and Nestle subscribers you get the pattern for free! Right!? Just pop over to the Subscriber Benefits Library and pop in your super secret password. If you’ve forgotten it, check the bottom of the Monday email you received from me.
I am often asked how to resize my blanket patterns. I am happy to help, but if you’d like to figure it out on your own, I’ve written this post on resizing knit throws and blankets.

Have a fantastic day, my friends. I am still working diligently on my ‘How to Knit’ series for those of you waiting patiently. I am this close to having it done and published. Many thanks to my S-I-L, Pam, who was my proof-reader/editor over the weekend!
Hugs,
