A few weeks ago, Katie talked about the items she keeps in her knitting toolkit.  I had thought about making something to hold the essential knitting tools before, but seeing hers inspired me to actually do it.  I didn’t have to purchase anything new, I already had everything I needed, I just had to put … Continue reading →

…just because I’m posting two days in a row.  Granted, the date on my previous post might not say yesterday, since the post took me three days to finish, but it was posted yesterday.  I know, it’s unheard of around these parts lately.  Well, since I’ve reached the end of thesis data collection and my … Continue reading →

If my current WIP’s are any indication, it appears that I’m going through a blue period!  I’m working the Embossed Leaves Socks in Soft Rock yarn that I bought at Maryland Sheep & Wool last year.  I purchased this yarn with the intention of making a patterned sock, and when I saw this pattern I … Continue reading →

There has been a lot on my plate lately, including a great trip to Utah to see my friend and her husband where Alice was photographed in the snow.  At this point, it was the morning of the final day and I was pulling out the bottom hem to extend it because I didn’t like … Continue reading →

The blog picture drought is over and I can finally resume the ABC-Along with new pictures!  Yes, we broke down and bought a new camera this weekend.  We went to a couple of electronic stores first, with poor service and poor selections, and finally ended up at Sam’s where we found this little beauty.  When … Continue reading →

My Olympic Knitting is a Black Hole.  First of all, it is a black blob of stockinette stitch, not conducive to progress photos at all.  I may share one with you later just to prove my point.  Secondly, I feel like I have knit on it quite a bit and am just now at the … Continue reading →

Last night, I tivo-ed the Opening Ceremonies while we were out to dinner with friends.  This morning I ran errands and worked to finish the knitting on my Cutaway because it just got cold enough here to wear a wool sweater, weather which will probably only last a week.  I haven’t cast on for my … Continue reading →

We really enjoyed going to the Baseball Play-off games this year to watch the Astros play.  They didn’t always do well, but it was exciting and a fun way to kick back with the husband. We are watching closely for opening day tickets and hope to go to several games this year.  We want to … Continue reading →
