You see this picture on the front page of the Washington Post Express (which you get for free when you take the Metro in Washington DC) on Monday morning… and you instantly assume that it is an article about Maryland Sheep & Wool.  Imagine my surprise when I turned to page 32 (yep, the page … Continue reading →

Sheep and Wool brought much happiness, most of which is best expressed in pictures rather than words, so I’ll try not to be too rambly. I flew in on Friday and Sarah indulged my touristy need by taking me not only to the typical Washington D.C. locations, but also to Knit Happens! It was great … Continue reading →

Why is it that anytime I meet someone I admire or think is really cool who I’d really like to not act like a complete moron in front of, I am transformed into exactly that.  I just have to get this off my chest before I tell you about the amazingly fabulous weekend I had.  … Continue reading →

I’m trying to think of a creative way to say that I am SO excited about Maryland S$W, but I think the excitement has been mostly expressed amongst the knitters.  Because it is my blogging goal to be just like Carrie (okay, I think she’s the greatest, but I’m not quite that obsessed), I dug … Continue reading →

I have been so busy with work that April absolutely disappeared.  I just realized that this weekend is Maryland Sheep and Wool.  I am so excited about meeting people that I haven’t really even thought about the yarn.  I’ve got to figure out what I want to buy, or at least some idea.  If I … Continue reading →

Thanks you guys for all of your music recommendations and encouraging words.  They definitely helped me make it through the ride!  I also learned a little trick on the hills, counting each pedal stroke really helped distract me from how much hill I had left to climb.  We had so much fun and I think … Continue reading →

This weekend is the MS 150.  I somehow have gotten myself signed up to ride 180 miles (I think the whole point of the 150 in MS150 is that it’s supposed to be 150 miles, but this one is 180) on a  bicycle from Houston to Austin.  Basically, it’s all I can think about.  I … Continue reading →

Evidence that spring is here, I’m fighting the fatigue that accompanies the adjustment to daylight savings time, the weather here is beautiful, and flowers are blooming. See… This is the little purple sweater that you all voted on. The comments were overhelming that I should do embroidered flowers and the floral buttons. So, I’ve spent … Continue reading →

10 a.m., the road trip begins.  I’m sitting in the back seat of a friend’s car working on my mini-sweater.  No stress, I’ve got an entire 4 hour drive ahead of me. 12 p.m., the body is finished and we stop for lunch.  Perfect time for a break.  Just sleeves and ends to go. 1 … Continue reading →

I don’t have much knitting to show for this week. I started a project on Monday and knit on it Monday night and Tuesday night. By the end of Tuesday night I realized I had lost my mind in the amount of stitches I had added to my cast-on row and ripped it out. I … Continue reading →
