I Saw Some Yellow Leaves Yesterday

Long after the gardening gloves are put away for good… …after the flowers have wilted and died… …and not long after the last steak has been BBQ’ed… It will be Sweater Time again! Yup, it’s that time of year again where my thoughts turn to falling leaves, Halloween, and dare I say it, SNOW! I [...]
Obsessive
Posted in Life, Musings, Socks, project photos on July 3, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Last night, my husband told me I am obsessed. With yarn. To which, I of course told him; I am so not. I mean, when you look at this definition, it doesn’t sound so nice, right? ob·ses·sion n. Compulsive preoccupation with a fixed idea or an unwanted feeling or emotion, often accompanied by symptoms of [...]

I have overextended myself a little lately and consequently, I have been forced to rush a little to meet some deadlines. We spent the weekend landscaping. It was some tough, let me tell you! Another project taking up a lot of my time is the Cookie A. KAL project #2. For some reason, I decided [...]

Monkey appears to like my favorite silk scarf almost as much as I do. However, she found a new, and strangely icky way in which to love it. She did this over and over for about an hour until I tried to take it away. Anyone know how to get boogers out of a silk [...]
Wow, Knitters are so Fickle

I know last week I was all about the new Cat Bordhi sock, and while I had the best of intentions to stay loyal to that sock, this week everything changed when I went to the mail. And found this: I haven’t loved a kit this much since the Monsoon kit that came out in [...]
Let’s Review, Shall We

Still waiting on the extra ball of yarn to finish the Big Blue Sweater. Seems as though I may be able to get my hands on one this weekend as someone I know offered to return one to my LYS as she had extra. I teach there every Sunday, so I should have the sweater [...]
Something I Pondered
Posted in Bunny, Monkey, Musings, Socks on March 2, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Two things happened this week, which made me ponder both just how lucky I was to stumble over the whole knitting thing and just how unlucky I was that no one of significance in my life taught me how to knit. See, over the weekend, as part of my job (I am so darned fortunate [...]
The Best of Intentions

I wanted to show you a finished Imogen (ravelry link) today. I really did. However, since I cast off, I have been struggling with a rolling edge on the bottom part of the sweater that neither a good steam or soak blocking will fix. See, because the back of the sweater is really just a [...]
