Socks on Parade!

The baby sock parade continues! You can click the image for notes on the yarn and what projects the leftovers were from. I realized most of them were blues and greens, so I decided to branch out with the Koigu. And what discerning baby wouldn’t love Koigu socks 🙂 I have the laceweight yarn for […]

Not Dead… Yet….

I am plodding along, quite busy, and then WHAM! It hits me that I haven’t blogged for more than a week, and sketchily before that. What happened!? Well, in list form: 1. Work has been busy. I’ve been getting ready for the new academic year and some new duties that I’ve been given, which include […]

OMG JAMS!!!!

As I strolled through the farmer’s market on Saturday, I saw flats of gorgeous raspberries and peaches and nectarines, all calling out to me, reaching for me through their various fragrances, wanting to jump into my bag.

Quickie from Astoria

I’m here, I’m alive and New York is humid. : ) Jen has me happily ensconsed in her apartment and tomorrow’s plans include a yarn crawl. There will be pictures! I did manage to totally forget to pack the wedding shawl, but I am calling C in a minute with instructions to FedEx it to […]

Finishing things up and packing

Holy crap! Deadline knitting right before you leave for a trip where you may not have internet access is NERVE RACKING! I got the lace piece done and it is BEAUTIFUL! Look for its publication in the Fall. Also, I finished a mitt pattern for Anne’s spinning fiber club. This was my first knitting with […]

Blog weirdness

Apologies for the missing sidebar material. I upgraded wordpress and it uninstalled my sidebar widgets, so I need to revert to my old install long enough to write it all down and THEN I can upgrade and reinstall it. Hopefully it will be back up today. ***Edited to Add:*** K, I think I got the […]
