Meet the Dangerous Duo, my ball winder and swift! I had the ball winder in my yarn closet for quite some time, but about a year ago, I had lost the little screwy thing (technical term) that goes in the bottom to hold it onto a table. I had looked for a new one in … Continue reading →

Go figure that it takes me two weeks to post a Christmas re-cap, but there are some things that are so good, I couldn’t skip over posting about them.  This is not surprising considering the fact that I just took down the Christmas tree today.  Almost everything I received for Christmas was craft related.  How … Continue reading →

I’m Branching Out.  This is my other WIP.  I started it shortly after I received my Sockapaltwoza package.  Showing you those fabulous socks is also on my blogging agenda, but for another day.  This scarf is being knit with Phildar yarn that my sock pal sent me from France along with some other French goodies.  … Continue reading →

Yay!  Now that I am back at work, I have access to a co-worker’s camera, so I will have pictures again!  It’s so boring to blog without pictures for me, which has been much of the reason the blog posts have been so sparse.  As I’ve mentioned previously, my camera died a painful death in … Continue reading →

What a month!  In short, I became obsessed with my thesis, opened a shop on Etsy, put on a holiday celebration for the husband’s family, went on a trip to the frozen tundry of Iowa for work, and today I get to watch the husband graduate with his masters degree.  In all of this, I … Continue reading →

Here is the point where I no longer have control over the whole thesis thing.  I have done all I can do to recruit participants.  I will write as much of the remaining parts I can write this weekend.  Now, I need to stop obsessing.  Tonight, I will try to go to sleep without worrying … Continue reading →

This whole thesis thing sure has been cramping my knitting style here lately.  Hopefully, I’m nearing the downhill stretch, but that’s hard to know for sure.  In case I haven’t mentioned it here, I’m researching communication between cancer survivors (in remission) and their oncologists.  It’s been a great topic, but the eligible participants are a … Continue reading →

This post has been a long time coming!  I took this picture yesterday, but technical difficulties prevented me from posting.  Not to mention the fact that I’ve been working on this for some time now and am just now telling you about it!  This is my Weasley, being knitted with Peruvian Wool from Elann.  It’s … Continue reading →
