Yesterday, I had an hour long knitting shopping excursion during lunch. Who needs food when you can get knitting gadgets for half-price? I really went to Hobby Lobby to look for knitting needles (they had all needles and gadgets 50% off), hoping they’d have some Clover Bamboo circulars, but they only had the ones I … Continue reading →

Hi! Today, I present to you, the post of excuses. Excuse #1: I don’t have any pictures because my laptop, on which I edit said photos for size constraints, is currently injured. We formatted the hard drive because it had some funky stuff on it and now we can’t get the CD drive to read … Continue reading →

This week has been full of the joys of homeownership. We have a few warranty issues with our builder (who has responded promptly and efficiently), but unfortunately they are having different people come out like every day. So, I stayed home yesterday morning to hang out with the plumber and my husband is home today … Continue reading →

I snuck an almost finished object in on ya. This week I wanted something quick, a little instant gratification is nice sometimes. I had started a Sophie bag a week or so ago and picked it back up Monday night. I figured it was a great way to continue practicing continental knitting since it’s in … Continue reading →

Well, it’s back to work for me today. We don’t have today off and it was so surreal to drive to work without traffic. It makes you wonder if it’s really Monday. We had a good weekend. I finished my Critter Knitter blanket (minus the weaving of the ends), which turned out quite patriotic. I … Continue reading →

This week I upgraded our cable television for one reason only, Knitty Gritty. It’s the new knitting show on DIY network. I mainly just wanted to watch it since some of the bloggers are “knitsters” and I thought it would be fun to see them in action. But, I learned something in the very first … Continue reading →

I ventured into a local yarn store today. It is the one that is close to work that I don’t usually visit because they don’t have posted prices and they haven’t been very nice in the past. Today, they had posted prices and they were very nice. It felt very familial. It’s weird to walk … Continue reading →

Well, I made a decision about the sweater issue. Thanks for all of your suggestions, they really helped. I talked to him about it this morning. Basically he kept coming up with all sorts of things I could make him other than a sweater. I think he really will appreciate a blanket more because it … Continue reading →

I’m facing a decision. I asked my husband if he wanted me to make him something for Christmas. He has forever wanted a big ole’ afghan made by me with super soft yarn. However, I’ve promised myself to only face one afghan challenge per Christmas, and I’ve already decided who gets the honor this year. … Continue reading →

I’m working on recovering, but my busy weekend sure didn’t help anything. I basically have no voice today which is a problem when 85% of your job is phone work. 🙂 I’m kinda hitting that point when you’re sick that it starts to rub off on other parts of your life. I think my sick … Continue reading →
