I love Wool Cotton!

Thank you for all the good wishes. The funeral was hard, but the Pastor spoke of her life and the impact she had on others and it was so wonderful to remember the good times. He allowed those in attendance to say something if they felt led. After a f

Busy day
Sunday, 28 November 2004 11:59 P GMT-06
After a busy Holiday weekend, we have a very busy week. But tomorrow will be the hardest day of all. We will attend the funeral for G.G. and I must say it will be a tear jerker. We went to the funeral home today and stayed for a few hours. They had

Our last Thanksgiving event is today at my SIL's. Turkey is ont he menu. But last night was chicken, so we aren't turkeyed out yet. I plan to take my knitting and finish the latest felted slippers and then get the other pair started. I am not liking
A sad day
Friday, 26 November 2004 9:36 A GMT-06
Yesterday did not start out like I planned. It went quickly downhill from there. Once we got to my aunt's house my mom approached me with bad news. A very dear and wonderful lady we know had passed away that morning. It
What I am thankful for
Thursday, 25 November 2004 12:00 A GMT-06
Here's my list of things I am thankful for. Some are serious and some are frivilous, but all bring me joy.My family, I know it's the trite entry. But I really am thankful for my family. My husband, who, I am sure, would have it much easier with anyb
Update: Bliss' husband
Wednesday, 24 November 2004 5:22 P GMT-06
I saw Bliss at the hospital and she said her husband is doing very well after his heart surgery. Continue to think of him and the family as they face the Holiday at the hospital. I was able to take her daughter's sweater that I sewed the zipper into.
Happy Thanksgiving to all

Even if you don't celebrate it American style, at least I wish you a happy day of giving thanks for all your blessings. And if you don't celebrate it American style, you don't know what you are missing. Turkey with gravy, mashed potatoes, green beans
Whew!

That went well. The Brownies didn't destroy anything, except their turkey snacks. Yeah, I fed them turkeys as a snack, what of it. Don't you eat turkeys for snacks? I asked them if they wanted gravy, but they declined. I guess gravy doesn't go with c

Then check out my SIL's shop in Kill Devil Hills, NC. She got her shop up and running this summer and she couldn't be happier. I am glad she has found her niche. This is the SIL who received Kombu as a birthday present. So many people say I should d

Since the Blues Poncho is no more, I had to find something to do for the Cater's, so she would have something handknit from me this year. With the speed this cardigan is knitting up I don't think it will be a problem to get it done by year's end. I a
Beware the curse
Sunday, 21 November 2004 12:13 P GMT-06
I have discovered a new curse at my houes. It's called the poncho curse. Don't even be making a poncho and come to my house. It will surely be ripped out if you do. I had started a second colorblock poncho the other day, only to rip out the first pan
Quick post for now
Friday, 19 November 2004 3:24 P GMT-06
I have company coming and I am not ready yet. I started joining the 2nd panel of the poncho last night. I hated it. It is the stupidest construction I have ever seen. You made YO's at the beginning of each row on the first panel and then when you sta
Good day for a nap
Thursday, 18 November 2004 8:25 A GMT-06
Dreary outside, at least there isn't a chill, cozy inside. What better day than this to be lazy and sneak in a nap? None that I can think of. I know there is laundry to be done, I know there's knitting I could do. But sometimes you just have to say,
Not a lot of knitting
Wednesday, 17 November 2004 4:54 P GMT-06
Well, just a bit. I got a hair cut today, yes it's a little shorter than the last cut, and more layers. During the down times of my coloring I did knit on the first panel of the poncho.Yes, I said the first panel. I know, I wanted to have the second
It's a knitty kind of day

Forgot to show a pic of the Big Feet for my BIL for his birthday. It would be fun to give them to him as is and see his reaction. "Gee, I must have messed up on the size". One year I had his name for Chris
Speedy knitting
Monday, 15 November 2004 1:50 P GMT-06
After finishing the scarf I went back to the felted slippers I am making for my BIL's birthday. It was Sunday, the birthday and the knitting too. I am now almost to the toe decreases of the 2nd slipper. Used the decreases on the first slipper to show

It's done! The Kombu is outta here. At least it will be on Monday. I guess ya wanna see it, huh. I will show you some shots since I can't get the whole thing in the picture while it's blocking. First, here's the problem I had:I could have left it as

A call for unity
Thursday, 11 November 2004 11:59 P GMT-06
Update at the end of the original postSince we seem so divided on certain subjects I am making a call to the knitters to come together. What are we going to discuss that won't cause more arguments? Taking a page from The Scottish Lamb's recent post I

Or whatever term you use to mean yucky, rainy, wet, dull, dreary day. 'Cause that's what it is here today. The "Good Thing"? I don't have quite as much running today. But I still have to get out in it. Wait, I really do have as many things
Ah, Wednesday
Wednesday, 10 November 2004 8:53 A GMT-06
Never thought I would be so glad to see a weekday, but after two days of running, at least Wednesday is a "stay at home until 3:30 pm" kind of day. How did this week fill up so quickly? It just seems to pick up steam and the calendar fills
Where have I been?
Tuesday, 9 November 2004 8:36 A GMT-06
Man, yesterday was that busy, but I didn't seem to get anything done. Hubster called in the morning to ask me to bring him some clothes to wear to a funeral visitation. His co-worker's mother died. So that was a 40 minute drive one way, 5 minute wait
