Well, we’re back! Really, we’ve been back since last Thursday or so, but I’ve been too lazy and busy with housework to get back to bloggin’. It has been a really nice break but I did miss the blog and reading everyone else’s blogs. I did get quite a bit of knitting done this week, … Continue reading →

The Openwork Tank is moving right along, at the speed of a turtle, but I think I’m finally picking up speed. It has just taken a little while to get my gauge to work out so that it is possible to do k2tog without injuring my hands. I knit too tightly sometimes, I’m afraid. My … Continue reading →

I’m having a little problem focusing at work. I really need to get my act together because I’m going to be out all week next week. I’m going on VACATION! I just can’t wait. We’re going to South Padre Island for a few days and then we’ll come back and just chill out for the … Continue reading →

Did your mom ever use that expression? “You need a _________ like you need a hole in the head.” Well, I need a new project like I need a hole in the head. But, I’m going to South Padre next week (leaving on Saturday) and I really want something new to wear on the beach. … Continue reading →

Whew! What a weekend! I’m still recovering from the showers and the rehearsal not to mention the wedding! It was definitely a whirlwind, but all in all, I think the wedding was great. The ceremony was beautiful and the reception was a lot of fun. Best of all, I got to wear my new Banana … Continue reading →

Well, I’ll be away from blogland probably until Sunday. I’m in a wedding this weekend (the wedding that I’ll wear birch to) and the festivities start this afternoon! I’ve brought my Audrey sleeves (I’m doing them at the same time) so hopefully I can get some work in on them. I had originally hoped to … Continue reading →

Gosh, another non-knitting post. I have been working on Audrey (one body piece down, two sleeves & one body piece to go), but slept on my wrist wrong night before last and haven’t been able to pick up the knitting since. I’m hoping it will be well enough tonight. Anyway, my husband and I are … Continue reading →

As you have probably gathered from the frequency with which I change my blog, I like change. Change is good. I am easily bored with leaving things the same. So, since I felt like I was out of ideas but wanted something different, Jen helped me out. Fun, huh? (thanks, Jen!) This weekend, I got … Continue reading →

This story is completely unrelated to knitting but I thought I would share it anyway. After all, as I have to remind myself frequently, a blog is for the writer and if readers enjoy it then that’s a bonus. This week I heard someone on the radio mention that both of his grandfather’s fought in … Continue reading →

I’m not going anywhere, but my “friends” are. I feel kind of silly that I am sad about the Friends finale tonight, but I am. For me, it’s not so much that the show is over. Yeah, I’ll miss my Thursday night ritual of watching Friends after I get home from class, but it’s more … Continue reading →
