Our journey to a far away land has resumed. We traveled at warp speed to arrive and just when we were almost to our destination the ship started to sound the alarm! All sensors indicated we were running low on fuel. I called the engine room to a

Captain Chris, commander of the Starship Caravan. We are entering an uncharted world, full of other ships full of "Breakers" that have some strange need to dominate the paths of orbit on this world. I am sailing with my 2nd in command, Corporal

I'm back!

Just got in about 45 minutes ago and almost unpacked. Now to make some dinner and rest up! I had a great time and I will expound on it later. May take it one event per day until I get through the vacation. Not that it was THAT exciting!

I know, what am I still doing here? Not leaving for about 2 hours. I was doing my email list maintenance this morning and took one last surf through my daily blogs. When I happened upon Wendy Knits I see that the very talented Miss Geane ha

A short farewell!

Thursday, 20 March 2003 5:35 P GMT-06
Well, tomorrow I prepare to leave my husband! Only for a week though. He can't get rid of me for good, no matter how hard he tries. But I will be surfing the net when I can. I am thinking of hanging out at the local library in Port Orange to use the

It's all about color!

Thursday, 20 March 2003 8:51 A GMT-06
Yesterday was very little knitting so it was all about color! See if you can find the recurring theme in my color choices this spring! I went shopping the last 2 days and happened upon some great deals for spring/summer dressing. Here is my new "favo

Got Knit?

Wednesday, 19 March 2003 10:51 A GMT-06
Well I got knit last night! I grabbed my Country Socks while babysitting and was able to get further along on them. Of course it was later that I realized I had continued the cuff ribbing into the leg and I was supposed to be doing a 4 row patte

Oh, I'm an Emerald

Tuesday, 18 March 2003 6:55 P GMT-06
You're an Emerald. You are goofy and unique. You're very easy to be with and a lot of fun too. The type of person someone could be friends with easily. What Jewel are you? by Quizilla Well, I agree with the goofy part! Unique-could be. They m

No knitting sucks!

Tuesday, 18 March 2003 4:36 P GMT-06
Well the last 2 days have been from one extreme to the next. Monday was a sick as a dog day which meant no knitting, who feels like it when they are sick? Today has been a run all over town getting errands done day. So the only knitting I have d

Happy St Patrick's Day!

Well I can claim very little Irish in my background, but there was some. And since my Dad is a St Patrick's Day baby I can claim a little more! So Happy Birthday Chas! And I hope everyone has a wonderful St Patty's Day! I am feeling green myself, but

Sock Fest

I had a great time!!! We arrived around 6:30 PM in Bloomington, IL at the Chateau! It looked like a French Chateau, antiques all over the place. So we checked in and went to our room and there was 1 king size bed for 3 women! I don't thing so. We the

New Contest!

I must have not been too clear in my instructions for my contest. So here is a new contest. I just got back from Sock Fest which was held in Bloomington, IL. I went to this event with 2 friends. In a recent post I named my 2 friends. Email me with th

Sock it to me!

Well, I know you will miss me while I am gone! I am headed to Sock Fest this afternoon with two buddies, Lea(kneedeepinfibers) and Kate. Hopefully I will return with all the skills of a 2 handed Fair Isler and ribber! I already know how to rib, I jus

Crazed woman loose!

Thursday, 13 March 2003 9:14 P GMT-06
Yes, I am talking about me. I was running through the house trying to score some AA batteries! Stealing them from the DD's electronic games. Ripping them out of the 500 TV remotes! Begging for my DD's Walkman! But to my dismay those items don't take

Ripped

Thursday, 13 March 2003 3:26 P GMT-06
Well I went ahead and ripped back 4 rows and then tinked back in one spot. So now I am redone and past where I ripped from. I am afraid I am getting into the boring repeat part. It is a fish scale looking pattern.  I have about 8" of it to knit!

This is my last entry tonight. I promise! Now I see in the picture 2 mistakes. Do I tink back to fix them or leave them? One is the missing white v that should be in the gold, center of picture. I also barely see the missing white v that is to t

I didn't win the HGTV Dream Home giveaway! I had plans for that house. It was to be my getaway home, party house, knitting retreat, and general fun house. And I was gonna invite all you guys to come! Darn.

That's how I feel since the postman has left me dry. No packages today. And I am expecting at least 2. Rob, you forget how long it takes a package to travel from you to me, a mere 3 hours away! I could have driven up there and got the box so muc

If you read the comments left by my visitors you might have noticed a few from Miss Kerstin. She made a comment in response to my "Madona-like bustier wearing past". She wanted a picture of this time in my life. Well I couldn't find a picture of

My blog burped and this picture appeared where it doesn't belong. Pinned it to a pillow so you could see better. 2 rows into the gold color and once the flower is finished it will be on to the small pattern repeat. That will come tomorrow. Sick child

Mail Call 2

Wow! The postman must like me. He just brought me a big box. Because of it's size I was sure it was the yarn I ordered from Matt and Rob, 3 delicious colors of Cascade 220 for a felted bag. But no! It was too light for that. So I opened it up and was

It's so nice to be able to write this title again. I like it a lot better than saying Easter Digress! So here is the latest photo. This is the last row of green and I start the blue today. I think my gauge got looser. Oh well, it will fit Cas

Finally got to look at my new Knitter's and it seems I am famous, right! I am on the back cover of the latest issue. I was at Stitches Midwest last summer and had lunch on Sunday with an email group my friend Betsey belongs to. Al
