Gauge Your Confidence, Take Control
Did you ever hear, “Oh, Yes! I drive but I only make right turns!” or “Sure, I have my license but do not drive on the thruway.” I see it in teaching. Oh, Yes! I teach this method, or I have always taught those units. When I hear these things I ask myself, who is […]

Fashion Quiz
Directions: Multiple Choice. You are to choose: likeness or not.

Yarn Haven is Knit Heaven
It is true how personal space reflects one’s life. This space, once a bedroom, followed by a study, is now evolving into a knitting haven. Knitting magazines, love seats, and yarn bundles are slowly taking over the teacher manuals, red pens, and piles of papers. Just look at the yarn winder clamped to the desk!

Nik One, Purl One
Nik one, purl one, Nik one, purl one … There I was, debating watching history in the making. I figured I would simply knit my way into the night, a typical Friday evening after a full week’s work, having mindless TV, and enjoy the evening. Yes, there I was, giving no consideration to […]
