You'd think it was all babies, all the time here! Sunday saw a marathon of knitting. A teacher at school is getting ready to leave for the birth of her baby boy. Fearing I had little time left I whipped out a hat made from leftovers. I present I'm Bl

Baby Love, my baby love

There are babies poping up everywhere around me. 2 so far at church, 1 more tomorrow, 1 in March, and 1 this summer. Then 1 across the pond in Scotland. Good thing I love to knit baby sweaters! They are just so sweet, fast, precious, fast, and darlin
My very first post

Well I have been a blogger for less than a week and I have already moved my site. This is my new one. I am planning to upgrade to allow pictures at my blog since I will be losing my free picture site. But I decided to set up the free blog and th
Ya done good

At least 21 of you did. Obviously you were good children and learned to do what your Momma wanted when she laid on the martyr act. Sad that I had to go to those lengths. Now, about the 700+ rest of you who visited yesterday and didn't leave a c

I know you have come here looking for a modeling shot of Tilt. Well, I haven't gotten a good pic yet. I tried to do it inside at home, with the self timer, but didn't get a good one. I should have had my buddy take a shot yesterday after lunch, but i
Could you give a hurt book a home?
Tuesday, 24 January 2006 7:25 A GMT-06
These poor books, hurt through injury or neglect, need you. Won't you consider given them a home full of love and kindness? But, could you just wait until I get a chance to open my home to some of them? Wah! I have a class at 11:00 am and won't be ho
Toasty Warm!

We had our last Christmas celebration yesterday. I know, real late for that. But worth the wait. Hubster and I received a love down comforter! Now to shop for a duvet cover. Man did that thing keep me warm. Definitely my favorite thing to wear to bed
Almost there
Saturday, 21 January 2006 7:22 P GMT-06
Really, the Tilt Cardigan is almost done. I got all the ends woven in, have the front bands on, picked up for the collar and have it halfway done. I am going to finish the collar tonight, douse it, block it and let it dry. I am resisiting the urge to
Seaming Party!!!
Friday, 20 January 2006 7:51 A GMT-06
Although they don't reach quite the level of sophistication here (the Skinny Rabbit has much classier tastes than Mt Dew and M&M's) it's a seaming party nontheless. And Tilt makes it fun! Three needle bind offs from the right side of the fabric.
Doh! Finally a knit along I can succeed at.

Go see the rules here, Jan 19th post. I am soooo there. I have seen everyone jumping in the rings to be Olympians, and have kept my ski hat out of it. But now, I cave. I am so good at this kind of knit a long. Color me there.

Progress waits for no man
Tuesday, 17 January 2006 7:46 A GMT-06
But what about women? Does it wait for us? Whether or not it does I am making some. I got the first clog and extra sole together and went ahead and started the 2nd clog. I have it's sole done, but I am showing a friend the upper foot portion, so I wi
What a busy day!

The knitters were coming out of the woodwork. I had set up a class for a few lovely ladies this morning before my regular knit help. Thought that first hour would be quiet. Not! The phone was ringing off the wall. Which is a good thing. Most of the m
Let's get clogging!
Sunday, 15 January 2006 4:19 P GMT-06
Yep, back on clogs. I am ready to make the 2nd sole for the 1st foot. Let me advise you I did match the cuff and sole color to the skein before I progressed with this pair. Obviously I should have matched the knit fabric instead of the skein! Here's

And just why am I good? Do you see it raining? No! OK, so it was snowing after it was raining yesterday. But, today it is sun shiny!!!! Cold, but still. If you have rain, I'm your girl! I can banish it with one wish. Think I could make a career of th
Rain, rain, go away!*
Friday, 13 January 2006 7:46 A GMT-06
Ick! Seems we can't have more than one day of sunshine before rain hits. But then again, if the temps were cooler it would be snow. Not sure which is preferred here. The kids were prefer the snow, hands down. But I don't want the cold, so I guess rai
What a pair
Wednesday, 11 January 2006 9:45 P GMT-06
Look at the lovely pair of mittens. Aren't they just the cutest! Did I fool ya? You know they are the same mitten, just turned over for a different angle. Now to get hopping on the 2nd one. This was fairly quick, and the 2nd should avoid froggin
Good morning

And it truly is. I woke up, and that's always a good thing. Medical update, just to get it out of the way. Nothing to report. No diagnosis. Not even a clue. it's not my heart, which I didn't think it was. It's not muscular that we can tell. The pain

What a slow day
Sunday, 8 January 2006 4:25 P GMT-06
I feel like I am in slow motion right now. Although I really was busy most of the morning. But first, our dinner.
We went out to eat with my birthday cousins last night. It was wonderful. I had spent the day doing some shopping with my Steinma
It's not perfect
Saturday, 7 January 2006 8:36 A GMT-06
But since I already spit spliced a piece in, and it didn't really get it, I am just not going to obsess about it. It's close enough that I am hoping no one will detect while riding on a galloping horse at midnight. I rarely stand at attention, so may
It's the 6th already?
Friday, 6 January 2006 8:10 A GMT-06
I thought Christmas flew by. I am still thinking it should be the 3rd or something. Thursday is always a blur due to work and teaching, and yesterday was no different. I cast on for the 1st sleeve on Wednesday night and got a few rows in before bed t
