We now interrupt this semi-regular knitting blog for the baseball play-offs. One thing you may not know about me is that I love watching sports of all kinds, sometimes more than my husband does.  We have attended two of the Astros vs. Cardinals games (as seen below in our self-portrait), including the big one, you … Continue reading →

I spent the weekend knitting, but neglected blogging, so I thought I’d share these. Roses showed up on my desk on Thursday morning.  For no reason.  It’s the first time that the husband has sent me flowers (he’s bought them before but not sent them).  And they were just to say he was thinking of … Continue reading →

I finished my sock pal socks!  After blocking they were so soft, so I can see why people love koigu.  It’s hard to photograph these colors, but they are much more pink and red than purple.  The purple just seems to catch the camera.  I sent them early last week, but my pal hasn’t said … Continue reading →

This is one situation in which I’m glad that I don’t have some crazy story for you.  On our way home we did see the national guard trucks, all lined up to render aid who those in need. Now, we’re just working to get life back to "normal".  We’ve had to cancel events that were … Continue reading →

I wish I had time to email each of you right now, but unfortunately our internet isn’t working so I’m renegading wireless from our neighbors and don’t want to stay online for too long.  Anyway, we were very fortunate and blessed in this storm, but I know there are others who werent.  I slept through … Continue reading →

Just a note to let you know that this little knitter and her dog are getting the heck out of dodge and heading to San Antonio to ride out Hurricane Rita.  The husband has to stay behind and be heroic or something in the medical center.  I should have internet from the in-laws house, so … Continue reading →

Countin’ down.  Just a couple of days to go until these beauties need to be in the mail.  Now that I’ve survived about three attempts at the heel (gotta hate it when you think you know the pattern and you don’t), it should be smooth sailing from here. Continue reading →

I spent much of today at Reliant Park with the husband.  He works in environmental safety and has been taking care of biomedical waste there this weekend.  I went along to help because they have plenty of general volunteers right now and I wanted a way to help.  In the midst of taking care of … Continue reading →
