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 →

…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 →
