OK, so, in keeping with the nostalgia that this time of the year evokes in all of us, I am attempting to take a look back at 2008. There were mittens: And Sweaters A Little Bit of Lace Some Knitting for Kids And lots and lots of socks… This has been a great knitting year [...]

Obligatory Xmas Post
Posted in Bunny, Life, Monkey, new yarn on December 27, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Well, another Xmas has come and gone. Much fun was had by all. Bunny got so many presents, she forgot to open two of them. No kidding! Grandma and I found them later on that night and just about peed our pants laughing. No surprise that Bunny was super thrilled the next morning when she [...]
Christmas Redux
Posted in FO's, Life, Musings, new projects, project photos on December 20, 2008 | 1 Comment »
This last month has really kicked my ass and now I am very behind on my Xmas knitting. Between everyone here having the plague (in which I lost 2 weeks!), Monkey getting up again at night (in which I lost countless hours of sleep and knitting time), and general work crap which kept me too [...]
This Morning…

I woke up ready to try it again. Like anything was possible again. Last week was super rough. Seems like there is enough of this feeling going around right now. People seem kind of broken. Maybe it’s the holidays. Doesn’t it seem like, as an adult, it’s Xmas all the time? Really. In knitting news, [...]
It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like
Posted in Bunny, FO's, Life, Musings, project photos, rant on November 19, 2008 | 2 Comments »
Christmas. Baby. The itty-bitty red thing is done. But, since it’s going to be a present, all I can give you is a sneak peek. See, I told you. Red, cabled, small. And, on the home front, things are well. Although, it would be great if someone could explain six year olds to me. [...]
Rhinebeck Revisited
Posted in Book Review, Bunny, Life, Monkey, new projects, new yarn, Rhinebeck, Travel on November 11, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Have you seen this? Pure genius! I bought this at Rhinebeck because I loved the colors and thought that the intarsia strip that is designed to run down the center of the sock was interesting. Little did I know I had so much more to be excited about. The kit, designed by the Tsarina of [...]
Bunny, On Voting.
Posted in Bunny, Life, Musings on October 14, 2008 | 2 Comments »
Tonight, I took Bunny with me to the polling station so I could a) vote and b) take her through the democratic process. When we went to the polling station, which coincidentally, was her school. She first gave me crap for parking in the teacher’s parking lot. Apparently, even though it was 7:20 PM and [...]
Connections

I found a new blog today. I don’t know about you, but I don’t add many new blogs to my blog reader very often. I very jealously guard my blog roll and since I have precious little time to myself these days, the adding of a new blog must be carefully thought out. Ok, now [...]
And, This is the Saddest Part
Posted in baby stuff, Bunny, Life, Monkey on September 24, 2008 | 2 Comments »
I am sick. Running a fever, coughing, runny nose sick. The saddest part? That being home sick today was the first full day that I have had all to myself in more than a month. I ate soup, drank tea, watched movies, slept a lot, knit a little, and spent the day in my jammies. It’s crazy [...]
