Okay, so now that Birch is working, I’m a little obsessed. When I arrive at home at night, it’s like I’m drawn to it. It’s always a bit like that with knitting, but the lace thing is pretty fun since each row is a bit different. It keeps my attention, which is sometimes hard to … Continue reading →

bad news How ’bout I start with the bad news and end on a positive note with the good news. The bad news is that today was Froggin’ Friday! I frogged Audrey AND Birch. Birch was fun to frog, let me tell you. Audrey I just put on the ball winder and went to town. … Continue reading →

This week marks one year since I started this blog. It all started because I was a part of the Boatneck Shell knitalong and wanted somewhere to chronicle my experiences for the other knitalongers.

Tonight I have a mid-term, tommorow night I have a paper due and I spent Monday on-campus observing a class for my research project and Tuesday night on-campus working on the paper.

Well, my knitting is organized anyway. Other aspects of my life will have to wait until I get finished with this semester. 🙂 My Secret Pal made it easy to be organized with a special package this weekend! As I saw the mail lady approaching, I was hoping it was for me. My husband usually … Continue reading →

Thank you guys for your nice comments and well wishes on our anniversary! I’ll keep you posted on the “cotton” gift-giving front. I’ve dropped plenty of hints, but we’ll see what happens. I don’t have a lot of exciting knitting news to report right now because I have just been wrapping some stuff up. I … Continue reading →

Yesterday was my two year wedding anniversary. They say time flies when you’re having fun and I think that must be true because the last two years seem to have flown by. It is really fun to look back at the times we have shared and the things we’ve accomplished and then look forward to … Continue reading →
