While browsing a fellow SnB’er’s blog, I came across this little gem… Knit Wars has apparently been taking over the knitting community and it’s time I got in on the action.
Ok, now you go sign up.
Oh, and it’s 7:15AM here and Monkey is still sleeping. Woot.

Yesterday something came over me (really, I think it must be the lack of sleep) and Bunny and I baked cookies for three hours. I. Don’t. Bake. Ever.
Most days I am simply content to look at the flour, sugar, spices, and evaporated milk stuffs, as things that one should have on hand during an emergency, like [...]

The Sweater of Infinite Joy(Ravelry link) is blocking. In it’s place, I have cast on for another, substantially smaller sweater. I am working on this sweater for Monkey. The pattern is free from Elann and I have been eyeing it for a long time. I had some left over Mission Falls cotton and so in [...]

Is it wrong to love a sweater so much that you don’t want to take it off for a minute? What about loving it so much that you can’t bring yourself to even block it (even though you know you should) because you are worried that the great essence that is the awesome sweater might be [...]

Erin came out today on a brand new site for free knitting patterns. Go check it out if you haven’t been there already. It’s an amazing site and from what I have seen so far, I think it’s safe to say that this will be another invaluable resource for knitters and designers.
In other news, I [...]

I think that I must have come down with a serious case of the Winter blah’s because I haven’t really felt like blogging lately. To be honest, I really have nothing to show you today, but I figured that it had been long enough and if I didn’t get something written it might be months before I [...]

My five year old is Funny!! She continually makes me laugh and so, I thought I would share with you (in lieu of any real knitting content) what she said to me tonight at the dinner.
We had goulash, mashed potatoes, and brussel sprouts. Now, odd kid that she is, she requested the brussel sprouts. But, [...]

I started a new project and I didn’t even have the decency to blog about it. I don’t know what came over me. Sorry ’bout that. I solemnly swear not to do this again.
The project? A sweater. And, as promised, I am using my new Knit Picks harmony wood interchangeable circs. These are a pure joy to [...]

Last night was knit night at my LYS and it came complete with presents and cake. This truly is the birthday that keeps on giving. Thanks to everyone that wished me a Happy Birthday. It was nice to celebrate with good friends.
And, can you believe that for my b-day, my good friend gifted me some Sweet Georgia in [...]

Best Birthday evah.
I was steamed and scrubbed and steamed and scrubbed again, massaged and pampered. Oh, and then I was fed lunch at the spa.
Then, we came back and packed up, loaded everything into the van and set out for… Storm Mountain Lodge.
There was plenty of time to relax…
A gourmet birthday dinner and cake….
Snuggling by a [...]
