Why, oh why, do I have monkey arms?!  I think for the first time in my knitting history I am knitting a sweater with sleeves that are actually long enough.  Okay, so I think this is only my third long sleeve sweater, but at least I won’t constantly be tugging at the sleeves.  Thing is, … 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 are watching closely for opening day tickets and hope to go to several games this year.  We want to … Continue reading →

I am a week late on posting about it, but I sent off my scarf for the Red Scarf Project last weekend.  My scarf was not exactly red, but it had red in it.  I have a confession about the yarn.  It was originally sent to me by Bonne Marie to make a pair of … Continue reading →

I forgot to post anything last night (where I could have added pictures) because I rode my bike on the trainer in my garage for like 30 minutes and my brain turned to mush.  I really want to get faster for the MS150 this year and I’m convinced that I’m incapable of picking up speed.  … Continue reading →

I have been knitting feverishly in an effort to finish the items that I currently have in progress to allow me to be single-minded in my Knitting Olympics Quest.  Hopefully, I am presenting to you the first of many finished objects this week.  I only have one other item on the needles, but there is … Continue reading →

That bit last week about having some sort of idea as to what my Olympic Knitting might be, well, lets just forget that bit, shall we?  I have ruled out Helga for now, for financial reasons.  I already have a plane ticket to Maryland.  I would like to buy some yarn while I’m there.  Therefore, … Continue reading →

The project that you all are tired of hearing about is finally finished and is now in the hands of the recipient, my mom.  Here are some final pictures, as taken in my back seat before mailing it (the challenges of borrowing a digital camera for blogging purposes!). Here is a snapshot of it all … Continue reading →
