Socks for the Man Who Wants Nothing My Dad has a bit of Ebeneezer Scrooge in him—when it comes to the holidays, he doesn't understand what the fuss is all about. In the Christmas Carol cast, I'm more like the nephew Fred: "I'll keep my Christmas humour to the last." Well,...

On a recent outing to my local yarn shop, I tried on a lovely pair of mittens. They were so cute, knitted in stranded colorwork (I thought) with little white stitches dotting the dark blue background. Very simple. Then I put my hand in one of the mittens, looked up, and said "What the . . .?"...

Where I live, fall means knitting, cooler temperatures, and political campaigns. I find all the knitted socks I finished in years past, wear them as the leaves fall . . . and tune out another political ad.
