Not at all! I think they are just darling!We had our annual Harvest Festival at church this weekend. Elder is in the back in her German Bundesliga soccer uniform. Hubster brought me the jersey back from Europe a few years ago. Younger is the Hippee i

Then you could experience this first hand!Click to reveal the true beauty of it. I am being a Domestic Goddess this morning. At least in the kitchen. Forget the clean up all the other rooms need. Oh, it smells heavenly in this house. If I ever need t
I need to make another pair

But this time the request is for fingerless gloves. Yuck! But since Elder can't seem to keep her mitts up around her fingers, she would prefer to have chopped off gloves. At least I can use my mitten patterns numbers and just do a ribbed pattern that
Happy Turkey Day

This is too funny! I know it's early, but this is just to cute to leave until then.
Day 3
Wednesday, 26 October 2005 7:08 A GMT-06
The day of the spinning class. You already saw the purple, teal, cream mess I made in class. Now let me show you how good I looked behind the wheel. Too bad it wasn't the wheel of a Jag or something. We have Judy on left and me on right, then Donna i
Day 2

Saturday we headed out to the fair. I had to drag Sherry to Brooks Farm to show off her cardigan she made with 2 skeins of Harmony and accented with Lush. I forgot to take a picture of it! They were so happy to see something a customer had made with
Back home again, in Indiana

Nothing could be fina' than to be in Carolina, in the morn.....ing. Except to be back home in your own house, with your family and all your comforts. But being in Carolina with 9 of your knit buds and then meeting 3 more wonderful chicks is a close 2
I'm sorry, you must have the wrong number

There isn't anyone here by the name of Chrisknits. She has abdicated the throne. She has flown the coop. She has run away and joined the circus. She has eased on down the road. She has done gone and went. If you would like to reach her, please go to
What a day
Wednesday, 19 October 2005 6:53 A GMT-06
Full to the brim, but I will look at it as an opportunity, not just a job I am obligated to do. I have come to the realization that at this stage in my life I don't like to be busy all the time. I need some down time. If I don't get it, my attitude

Busy day

Getting ready to start it, dreading the list of to-dos I have. At least there will be 4 hours of fun in the middle of it. Work is still more fun than work, will it ever get old?Last night I had a baby sweater class, wonderful ladies all. Two were fro
Tilting again
Thursday, 13 October 2005 6:53 A GMT-06
It could be because of my dizziness, but it's really just from my knitting. I should be swearing because of all the knots in this yarn! 2 knots in 4 skeins that have had serious color changes. This means I must find another skein or feed off the skei
Celebrate!!!

Monica just happened to be the 2000th commentor on the old blog. I think she deserves a prize! Not sure what it will be yet, but I am thinking a Gift Certificate from her LYS would be the best bet. I mean, what kind of yarn do you send to someone in
Get 'er done
Tuesday, 11 October 2005 11:15 A GMT-06
Yesterday and this morning afforded a lot of knitting time. Wahoo! I actually finished something. Molly Duex is done. And she purty? Before Blocking and After Blocking
As American as Apple Pie
Monday, 10 October 2005 2:05 P GMT-06
That's what I am. Why? Because this is what I made Saturday. All by myself! Apple Pie, crumb crust, lots of spillage, messy oven, smoking billowing, Eek! But it sure does taste good, tart and delicious. Granny Smiths went into the pie, my favorite ap
I'm loving it
Saturday, 8 October 2005 7:33 A GMT-06
I just seem to be in the zone right now. Making progress on everything, well, everything I am actively working on. Molly got the nod last night, we were out to eat with the family whose daughter will receive it. I went ahead and gave her the kilt tha
And the winner is.....

Donna S! I did a very scientific method of determining the winner. I wrote 1-12 on a piece of paper and then closed my eyes. Whichever number the pen pointed to was the winner! And Rebekah gets a prize for being the closest to the answer. The correct
I'm Festivaled out
Thursday, 6 October 2005 7:17 A GMT-06
This year I doubt I will go back for a second night. Last night was enough. We planned to be there about 3 hours. Then as I was giving the 1 to go signal (you NASCAR fans will get it) we ran into my little Bro and his clan. Of course that meant that
It's picture day!
Tuesday, 4 October 2005 12:33 P GMT-06
The girls got pictures taken at school today. I helped check the kids in so I got to see what they looked like on screen after the shot. Elder smiled very pretty this time. She doesn't usually smile pretty, just grimaces. Younger had to have flippy
Funky Chunky

Not my favorite thing to knit with, but man does it go fast! Started this hat and after about 2 hours I am close to the crown decreases. Aracunia Nature Wool has such lovely gradation of color. I love it! Madli isn't much furthe
Getting somewhere
Sunday, 2 October 2005 12:57 P GMT-06
Not getting anywhere on all the old stuff, but the new stuff is coming along. First up, Molly<!-- Script Size: 0.73 KB -->. She is close to the shoulders!! This would be further along if I didn't keep starting new stuff! I do work on it whene
I couldn't wait
Saturday, 1 October 2005 8:16 A GMT-06
No Kristi, I didn't start Madli before today, in fact I couldn't if I wanted to. OK, I did try, but this is the problem. I only wound one hank. Now why is that? I have no clue. But my ball winder is at the shop and I didn't want to wind it by hand, i
