Year in Review

This may be terribly boring to you guys, so if it gets boring, go ahead and skip it.  It’s mostly just a place for me to mark my goals so I can keep track of them and my progress toward them. 2006 Revisited  I was looking back at my blog archives and seeing what my […]

Hidcote Garden Shawl KAL

I thought you all might like to know that Birdsong and Knitnana have started a Knitalong for my Hidcote Garden Shawl pattern. You can view the KAL here (the instructions on joining are there) and the pattern can be found here. M

HA!!

What Classic Movie Are You? personality tests by similarminds.com Why am I not surprised? Something dark and brooding with a morbid sense of humor. Quizlet ganked from Terri. In knitting news, the clogs are done and waiting to be felted, I have a new lovely wooden swift that I want to wind and wind and […]

Heaven all wrapped up in a hank!

So my plans to start Ariann were thwarted by the arrival of the yarn for BP1…. but how could I be upset when the yarn is THIS. This yarn is handdyed Bamboo Laceweight in the Mulberry colorway from PureKnits. I have not worked with bamboo in the past, so while it will take some research […]

Christmas of Socks

This is my widdul brover Daniel (and me… I’m the one with the wierd face on the left). Daniel liked his socks 🙂 It was good to spend some time with him again as he’s been busy with school and working 2 jobs all the previous times I was there to visit. We used to […]

I may start counting hours…

I am SO ready for longer days! I’m bored and humorless and utterly exhausted (and have only a vague idea why). I want to be at home sleeping rather than sitting at a desk next to a phone that’s just NOT ringing in an office that has almost no one in it. I feel like […]

Last of the Christmas Knitting

2 things before all others: 1. Thank you for all the well-wishes for my brother. He’s finally in his own room, so when I call him tonight I’ll let him know all the well-wishes from knitters. I think he’ll be shocked. 2. Pop on over to Fickleknitter and see Michelle’s brand new FO. Maya Abigail […]

Good thoughts and prayers needed

Hi all, My brother was in a car accident yesterday.  He’s got 5 broken ribs and some fluid in his lungs that they’re pumping out, a scratch on his liver… he’s supposed to be alright, but he’ll be in the hospital for about a week, and then the recovery time from the broken ribs.  Right […]
