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.

Well, I haven’t fallen off the face of the earth, I just got sick. Sicker than I’ve been in a long time. I guess it’s a cold or something, but it did a number on me. I started feeling bad on Tuesday, but just thought I was tired. By Tuesday night, I was in bed … Continue reading →

I did get a few minutes to take inventory of my stash and clean up a bit this weekend. Unfortunately, I cannot find a tank that I started last year and never finished. The yarn would be perfect to put with the yarn I got from the stash redistribution project, but I can’t find it, … Continue reading →

Do you ever just feel overwhelmed by the number of projects you have the desire to work on at a time? I am totally there. So, this weekend, I’m going to spend some time with my stash doing a bit of prioritizing. Here’s my “to do” list. #1 – Finish the Audrey sleeves. Last night … Continue reading →

Oh my goodness. Sorry for falling off the face of the earth there, but I haven’t had much to blog about. I’ve been knitting knitting and knitting some more on the sleeves that will never end. They are the sleeves for my Audrey. Some people talk about Sleeve Island, but I think I’m stranded on … Continue reading →

Wow! I need to read more! I didn’t realize that I hadn’t read so many “classics” until I ran across this list at Kerstin’s. I have read a bit this summer, though. At the suggestion of someone in the comments on my blog (I’m so sorry that I can’t remember who recommended it), I read … Continue reading →
