Not much time left to finish preparing to leave. I have notes for the Grandmas who will be caring for the girls. I have my clothes, knitting, and most of the food ready. Now it's just sit and wait for the 3 events to be over with tonight and pack

Pillow Fight

Now that my pillows are done I need to write up the patterns. The options for finishing these are endless and I need to do another to test the pattern and try a few more finishing options. I hope I don't spend the next month knitting pillows! I d

Stranded KAL - Haven't done a stitch. I need to just finish the thing! UFO - I got nothing. I will take Celtic with me to Talladega though. Craft Challenge - Hmm, not much to say. You know that use up my stash? Well I did use up a skein of yarn f

Last night was Elder's debut in the talent show at school. She was supposed to dance with a friend, but the friend was unable to. So I told her she could just not do it, but she decided to go ahead. I am so proud of her. She's not a dancer by

Progress has been made. Want to see? Working on the Entrelac Pillow class sample, one done. Turned out 14" square, not the 10" I was thinking. No big deal, I cast on for a 10" and it will probably turn out 12"! I am using this for
Worry

I have issues I am dealing with and worry makes for a horrible bed fellow. But in all my trials, so small and insignificant, I am not in the throes of pain like the parents of V Tech students taken so early from this world. My prayers are for this wo
The friends and food were better than the fiber

Drove up to Greencastle, IN last night to attend The Fiber Event today. It used to be the Fiber Fest and changed hands this past year. The lack of organization in the ending of one and the beginning of the other caused a few bumps in the road. And th
Give me a Mimosa anyday!

Just make sure it's light on the alcohol. We had a lovely pre-wedding celebration for one of our knitters yesterday. She's a dear. Suzy made Mimosas and brought cinnamon bites. Terri made some Macaroons, and we all went next door for a lunche

Anticipation is making me crazy! But I will try to distract myself with a knit project. I met with Jane Campbell's Hubster yesterday at the shop. She is the fairly local designer of a cute wrap pattern a friend knit. Her Hubster came to town yes

Boring today. Not that life wasn't interesting. I ran errands with Younger and Younger Niece. Elder was with Elder SIL (wonder if she minds me calling her that. I am older than her, but she is older than my other SIL). Then we grabbed lunch and t

There are just some knitters you love to see and wish you could see more of them. Lisa, if you blush easily, don't read any further. Lisa is one of those knitters. We always have so much fun when we're together. She is a sweet person and a wo

Shopping spree time!! I had a day of pampering myself. Hair trimmed and ready to spend. I just picked up tops to add to my wardrobe and a pair of capris. Elder needs shorts and capris so she got stuff too. And Younger got a cute sweater and cotton to
Swatching
Monday, 2 April 2007 2:39 P GMT-06
Yep, you read right. I am swatching. Just what I can't say. I am planning it to be an Urban Aran, always late to the party. But I am having problems finding something in the stash to work. It needs to be bulky range, but I would consider using wo

I have them, just not much to show. The first is Stranded: I am not getting far with this one. I haven't worked on Markblomst in a long time. Oops. Must remedy that. I have decided it won't work to give to the Teacher as her daughter is
