Thanks

...for all the kind comments about the tank and past projects. I keep thinking I will remember to say a thank you on the next post and then I forget! Must be that High School Senior Moment thing. Still don't believe I am in High School? Do you want t

I thought Harvard was Square.

So why then is mine round? Did I finish Nordic by some miracle? No. Did I get that 2nd bootee done? No. But while searching through stash for some yarn to try a design, I am desinging in my head, with, I found the yarn

Good reasons to post today!

With 2 knitting opportunities yesterday I got closer to the finish of the Nordic body, picture here. I am into the colorwork on the yoke and loving it so much more than that Lice Stitch, boring pattern that it is! The o

Not much reason....

...to post since I haven't done any knitting since? Today I will knit as I am having knitting and lunch at my house. When I said something about this to my husband last night he said "What!" as if he couldn't believe I was doing this "

Sorry I'm late....

.......posting about the other fun stuff I got. I just spent half the day at our school for the annual Spring Fling. It's one of those PTA fundraisers that you swear you will never volunteer for again. This year I opened my mouth and said I would c

Thank You Secret Pal, Bock, Bock!

I just got my Easter surprise from my Knitting Secret Pal!!! Hey, my Father-In-Law just brought us out Easter goodies yesterday so it's not at all overdue! I will highlight a few items each day so I can keep from cluttering up my posts! My 2 favorite

Rain, rain, go away!

Friday, 23 April 2004 8:09 A GMT-06
I've got things to do todaymorrow. Lots of outside activities! Doubtful the baseball practice will happen even if the rain is gone, the fields will be too muddy! Soccer is another story. There is no cancellation due to light rain, so they play on. Ri

Don't knit at a soccer game

Not that it is illegal to have knitting needles on the sidelines. And it's not because you might make a mistake from not paying attention to your knitting. No, what might happen is, you almost miss your Younger's first goal of the season! And from m

I need to pry into the medical history of your daughters. I have a 6 year old who has been experiencing bladder spasm off and on now for 2 1/2 months. Started with our visit to FL when we thought she had a bladder infection. Didn't turn out to be one

Quack, Quack!

No it hasn't rained here so much I am swimmin' like a duck. But soon I will have the feet to waddle around in! Well, I won't have them. The first time I made this I followed the rules to a point. Then I converted to a n

Oh Lucy!

Tuesday, 20 April 2004 3:59 P GMT-06
I Love Lucy! Well, I love the fact she behaved well during her swim and now she is drying. Hope the size is what my niece wants. Things I learn about felting after altering a pattern. The shrink rate is different for wi

Good 5:00 AM in the Morning!

Tuesday, 20 April 2004 1:08 P GMT-06
Which is what I should have said to my 6 year old. But I really wasn't happy to be awake at 5:00 AM. Seems she had stolen into our bed last night, and 1 of the 3 thunder booms we had this morning (no rain) woke her up. Which is why I was awake. Once

Will it never end????

I have a 9 year old demon in my house. She is be-deviling the heck out of me! Yesterday it was her day to make as much trouble as possible, even to the point the hubster and I started arguing with each other for no good reason. I used to have an impi

Whoa! What happened?

Sunday, 18 April 2004 11:43 A GMT-06
Where's my lovely flowers and photos? Can you see them? I sure can't. Hopefully they will come back soon. Got some pics to upload and news to impart.Biggest thrill yesterday was Younger's team's win at soccer! It was 10 to ? Younger almost got 2 goal

The tax man can come, but I don't got no mo' money for him!

Well, maybe I should say Hubster doesn't! I knew I shouldn't have gone out to lunch yesterday and on to the shopping area. It was only a visit to Kohl's to see if I could find a pair of sandals. Well, I found sandals, loafers, capri pants, knit tops

I love this bar.....

Friday, 16 April 2004 3:18 P GMT-06
It's my kind of place.  Hubster was using the computer to listen to a CD last night, it has some video on it. Toby Keith's Bar Song will be running through my head for the rest of the day now! As he was working on transferring all our home movies to

Lucille!

Are you one of those moms who use the child's first name when they are in TROUBLE!? Well, Lucy and I are having some minor difficulties. OK, I guess it should really be Lucy yelling Christy! I really shouldn't blame it on her, it was entirely my faul

The good weather delivery guy finally got some decent weather by my house. It's sunny and 50 degrees today. Now to make sure he keeps making those daily deliveries. When you pay good money for something you expect it to happen!In knitting news there

Try clicking on this link to see the error, look down at the browser status bar. Mine says "error on page" when I try to open the pop up window.

Some progress is made

Tuesday, 13 April 2004 11:00 A GMT-06
Of course, on the Nordic it doesn't show!! But I am at the point where I ran out of brown, time to wind another hank, and getting ready to start the armhole steeks. Will try to accomplish this today as an afternoon appointment was just canceled. I wa

Did the Easter Bunny leave you any Bad Eggs?

Monday, 12 April 2004 9:30 P GMT-06
Woohoo! The Easter Bunny left Sweatergirl a really good egg, actually a bump. In Handknitter's words...Sweaterbump has arrived!!! Congratulations Sweater"mom"!No bad eggs here, and thankfully DH found the one hard boiled egg that the girls

I'm home from my travels

Saturday, 10 April 2004 6:53 P GMT-06
Actually I have been home for hours, but had to do the call and order dinner and go pick it up thing! Fleece Fair doesn't compare to MS&W I am sure. But it is a pleasant way to spend a Saturday here in Indiana. Me and some buds traveled up to Gre

Lucy is subdued

Friday, 9 April 2004 1:13 P GMT-06
She's actually shaking in her, um, boots? Well, she's something. I told her she was ready for the torture chamber where she will be dunked in hot water and spun around until she's dizzy. She is behaving well and is laying at my feet in submission! No

I need to get a "handle" on Lucy!

Thursday, 8 April 2004 10:06 A GMT-06
She drives me crazy! Oh, oh-oh. Like no one else. Oh, Oh-oh. Lucy and I were getting along very well last night. She was patiently sitting in my lap as I tried to finish knitting her 120 row handle. As I approached that magical number I referred to m
