…go back to work. I just had a heavenly lunch. I work in an old house, so we have a back porch. It’s a beautiful day here, so I sat on the back porch to eat my lunch. When I finished, I kicked back and worked on Audrey. I did have a student worker come … Continue reading →

I suppose we’ve all been there. An UFO sits in the yarn closet (or basket, or box) and you wonder, is it worth picking back up again? My debate began last night. I was digging through my yarn closet to find suitable yarn for a bit of destashing and found the tower of zodiac. I … Continue reading →

Disclaimer: When you click on the pics, they are really big because I didn’t get to edit them with photoshop. Consider yourself warned. 🙂 This weekend was eventful, that’s for sure. We spent Friday trying to prepare for the Crawfish Boil we hosted for people my husband works for on Saturday. Friday we discovered that … Continue reading →

Audrey and I have had an on again, off again relationship lately. As in, she’s on the needles one minute and off the needles the next. I’ve made some silly mistakes and really want to be happy with this sweater so I’m probably being a bit more picky than I usually am. However, Audrey is … Continue reading →

I got home today, exhausted, from a conference for work. I knew that a pile of homework awaited me. But, I didn’t know that there were treats waiting for me, as well. Stef sent me yarn, Nivea hand cream (I think that’s what it is, the label is in German and it’s very soft), gummy … Continue reading →

I finished Birch this weekend! YAY! Well, I half finished it, anyway. I was trying to make it like a rectancular wrap because I wanted to wrap it around my shoulders and tie it in the back, with it just being straight across the back. The problem, I hadn’t yet picked out the dress for … Continue reading →

Several friend updates have been happening around here lately. Yesterday, I got a call from my friend from college. I’ve been a slacker about keeping up with her so we don’t talk very often. But, the last time she was over (it had to have been six months ago) I was showing her all of … Continue reading →

But I don’t. I ended up staying home sick on Friday and got some knitting time in. I really needed a day to just sit on the couch but my oh my was I bored out of my mind! I did get some progress in on birch and am now up around 10 inches complete. … Continue reading →

I’m not! I’m rather surprised that I’m not due to the trouble I had with it initially. I’m making good progress. I have about four inches completed. That doesn’t sound like a lot, but since you decrease stitches everytime, it should just continue to get faster and faster. I am still getting quicker with the … Continue reading →

I need to finish something. It just occurred to me today that I have not finished anything since February when I finished the Ribby Shell. Unbelievable. I’ve been knitting away and finishing nothing (with the exception of a few squares for an exchange). Here’s what I have “in the works”. 1. A Critter Knitters Blanket … Continue reading →
