THE 2007 YEAR IN KNITTING MEME
Monday, 31 December 2007 6:43 P GMT-06
1) The Quickest Knit Item of 2007Hmm, I guess I could say the Preemie Hats, since the small size makes them go quick. But then again, the Felted Clogs go quick too. 2) The Slowest Knit Item of 2007It would have to be Celtic, only, it's stil

Winding down

Well, the year is drawing to a close. No resolutions for me, never do them. I can't be faithful to a knit item, what makes me think I can keep to a new habit for a year's time? So we will just go on as before and deal with life in the same wa
Fetch me another pattern!

OK, I already have one picked out. I decided to go to Fair Isle instead of cabling. I have wanted to make the Garnstudio mitts for a long time, and now is the time. I have more than enough Alpaca DK that can be used, colors and natural shades. The f
It's getting better

No episodes last night. Even though my legs feel like they could cramp at any moment. But that is preferable to actually cramping. So maybe the B-12 is finally working. I'm sure it isn't hurting. I took the last doses of Prednizone yesterday,
Still having fun!

We continued the fun by taking our nieces and nephews to see Alvin and The Chipmunks. It was OK, not a show stopper though. It was hard to forget that the lead was the voice of Underdog. Weird hearing the voice come out of a human. But the important
Whoa!

I can tell what 2700 of you were doing over the Holidays. Reading knit blogs! Thanks for stopping by, I hope you found something of interest here. And an interesting last few days it has been. The fun didn't stop on Monday, it came around a

No, the children aren't up and clamoring for present time. I am dealing with the 3rd foot/calf cramp in 3 days. And these have been the most painful cramps I have ever had. This morning's was enough to make me want to throw up. There will be
Flopsy's Sistah

Cast on 9:00 am this morning. Wove in last end at 4:30 pm. Felting as we speak. Hopefully this will be done in time to gift at our Christmas Adam gathering in 1 hour.
It's Flopsy!

It's flopsy! I wasn't sure the brim would be, but I should have known when you pick up one stitch for one row, it turns out wavy. It's so cute I could squeeze it! I see more of these in the future, just need to find some little girl heads
My Knit Buds are the BEST!
Friday, 21 December 2007 5:21 P GMT-06
Between gift cards to Starbuck's and a favorite restaurant, ornaments for my tree, goodies for my car and knitting basket, and baked goodies. I have been blessed by their kindness, but more so by their presence in my knitting life! I so hope we d
We are on the mend

Just waiting for the other shoe to drop. It will be a miracle if no one else ends up sick! But we are on the mend. Nothing has come back up since midnight, so we are crossing fingers and toes. She's had half a piece of toast, some apple slices, s

I've a deal on one for you! I'll pay you to take it. I am sure you will love it, it goes with everything. I am ready for it to be gone. My knitting has taken a serious turn for the none. Not since Sunday morning have I taken a stitch. I have
It's the drug's fault
Monday, 17 December 2007 4:43 P GMT-06
That's the only explanation for why I did not take photos of the completed Fetchings! 2 pair went out the door at 5:00 am this morning. They were done, bathed and dried since Saturday. But I didn't do a photo shoot due to the drugs the good D

Not a food item, my Elder's tooth cutting experience. She had 4 teeth and 1 tooth bud (extra it would seem) cut out today. The right lower jaw had the extra bud and it was blocking 2 teeth from coming in. Only there was only room for one tooth. S
Pride goeth before a fall?
Wednesday, 12 December 2007 8:22 A GMT-06
Don't count your chickens before they hatch? Not sure which truism fits here, not sure I want to know. The dilemma: Knitting on the 2nd Fetching last night. Getting close to the end. Seeing the yarn disappear before my eyes. (Why is it we seem to
Car Trouble
Monday, 10 December 2007 8:15 A GMT-06
I guess when it rains, it pours. Seems like when one goes, the others try to also. My car is being repaired, seems the drain pipe which leads from the sun roof has a leak. The part will take a week to get in. No biggie, we have 2 other vehicles. So,
And what fun it was!
Sunday, 9 December 2007 4:26 P GMT-06
If you aren't part of a knitting group, go out right now and find one! Search Ravelry, ask at your local knit shop, or sit in a coffee shop and knit until someone sees you. There are the most fun you can have. I spent a few hours at Mass Ave Knit
Let the fun begin!
Saturday, 8 December 2007 10:47 A GMT-06
At least when 1:00 pm rolls around! I am headed to Mass Ave Knits in Indy in less than 2 hours to join some Ravelers in a meet up. Should be fun. Knitters coming to together to meet and greet at a knit shop. Hmm, recipe for fun? Absolutely!But our fu
What was that I said about no fear or worry?

Remind me to shut up next time I try to claim that. Hubster returned safely from Houston. As we were discussing his trip the words I did not want to hear came out of his mouth. His new boss wants him to relocate within 30 minutes of the new plant. NO
Was I coming or going?
Wednesday, 5 December 2007 9:35 A GMT-06
It seemed like I was going non-stop! Last night was a run the girls here and there evening. Hubster was in Houston, so I was sole parent for the evening. We grabbed dinner at Gracie's, why do I feel so stuffed after eating there?, and then the ru
Pay It Forward

I saw this on Kat's blog. Thought I would play along. I will send a handmade gift to the first 3 people who leave a comment on my blog requesting to join this PIF exchange. I don’t know what that gift will be yet and you may not receive it
Tired
Sunday, 2 December 2007 9:32 P GMT-06
I probably will yawn through the writing of this post, maybe I will document that as I type. Yawn 1. We had a busy Friday night and busy Saturday, yawn 2.We ran out to get basketball shoes and shorts Firday night and grabbed soup from Panera. Seems t
