I'm a spinner!
Saturday, 31 May 2003 3:22 P GMT-06
Well at least of the designer yarn variety! I went to visit my knitting/spinning friend Kristi today and this is what I spun(she plied!). Here are my bitty hanks, the yarn broke so she wound it into 2 hanks. And here is the very fine, very thin

Calling all shoppers!

If you have a local Target and you have nothing better to do tonight(or maybe you need to run out and get panty hose, denture cream, whatever), run, do not walk, to Target and look for something for me. Pretty please! I bought this neat, but che
Let's do a Bee!

A Spelling Bee. Sandy made comment about the words in the line-up for the Spelling Bee. When I went to the website I found a cute little quiz. I am Embarrassed to say that I got 2 wrong. But it was still a Privilege to take the test! so how well

OK, so I blew off the schedule yesterday, but with good reason. This was my downfall! I couldn't stop knitting it. One of the reasons was because it was just too fun. The second is I barely followed the pattern, so I couldn't stop until I s

Sarah B!!! She answered the quiz and got them right. For those who were still puzzling, the answers are:
1. Frosted Flakes2. Froot Loops3. Cheerios (Frosted Cheerios was what I was going for, but found out not all areas have them.)4. Honey Combs5. L

Got home and had to restrain the girls from jumping themselves silly! Daddy got the trampoline up and ready and they were thrilled! I have even had 2 bouts of jumping on it myself. Thinking this is a great way to work on those legs, boy could I feel

Ack! I can't control the carriage returns on this computer. Or is it Blog-City's fault. Sorry there are no paragraph breaks, I did put them in.---------
Well Sunny Indianapolis has been fun so far. We have shown up 45 minutes late to my niece's fi
Don't forget the Cereal Contest
Friday, 23 May 2003 1:38 P GMT-06
Just look under the May 22nd post for all the directions! But do not go here, Serial Knitter, cause that's a whole 'nother kind of cereal!
I am off, I mean going on a quick trip, this afternoon to sunny, I hope, Indianapolis. Leaving DH at hom
Okay, so I only finished 1 thing!
Friday, 23 May 2003 1:34 P GMT-06
But I have a good excuse! I ended up at elder's last Brownie meeting, DH took younger with him to the nephew's graduation. Since I was going to be in a shelter house and not able to take my stitching case with me, the scissors case didn't get done la
Burp! It's a contest!!!
Thursday, 22 May 2003 11:59 P GMT-06
No not a burping contest! I delivered Cinnamon Rolls this morning. I was lucky enough to have some runts that were unacceptable for public consumption, so, I ate them! I'd show you a picture but they are gone, and they were good.

Only 63% a Snob

Sandy and I would make a great pair, we're both in the 60% range! Find your Snob Status.
Here is what my snobbery level rises to: You're a long way off joining the ranks of the blini-nibbling, bubbly-sipping, double-barreled brigade but then you're
I cheated
Wednesday, 21 May 2003 7:16 A GMT-06
Not on my DH, but on my knitting schedule. But I have a really good excuse!! Since we got invited to dinner last night I knew my knitting evening would be naught. But as I was walking out the door I thought, "A 20 minute drive to our destination mean
Dinner is yummy tonight!
Tuesday, 20 May 2003 4:12 P GMT-06
Just got a call from Hubby and we are dining in style tonight! We are visiting a not-so-local steak house called Haub's! Best prime rib around. Now to get ready. I have uploaded 2 more progress photos. They don't look like much! One is the latest Fuz
Schedule Progress
Monday, 19 May 2003 2:11 P GMT-06
Here are 3 pictures of progress from my schedule knitting today. So far I have only cheated with an extra 15 minutes on the Spice Market Bag, of course I worked on it first! Then I pulled out the Country Socks, which I actually worked on for about 1
Tier 2 is done

I have finished the 2nd tier in my Spice Market Bag. It was tricky at the beginning, but once I got past it the work has been steady. Here is the work so far:
Now to wind the rest of my yarn so I can continue. But I really must get a lo

To view the pictures of the stash Matt and Rob brought to our workshop yesterday, go to my buddy's blog, kneedeepinfibers. Scroll down to saturday's post. It seems I came in second in stash enhancement! Betsey beat me, which is fine with me
Dynamic Duo

Here is everyone admiring a Targhee roving they brought. Wish my camera hadn't died!
Yes we were visited by the Dyanmic Duo today! We had a lovely time yarn shopping-their car was packed to the ceiling and in the trunk! We had a lovely time choosing
Knitty Week
Friday, 16 May 2003 8:40 A GMT-06
Well by the end of this week I will have attended 3 different knit related events. The first was my Knitting Guild meeting on Monday. This group is small and has an older average age, the youngin's are in the minority. But these ladies are delightful
Go Green!
Wednesday, 14 May 2003 8:01 P GMT-06
Thank you for taking part in my poll. The greens have it so I will use that neat vintage button. Now to devise a cord or loop for the closure. Any ideas for that? I guess I could twist a cord or some yarn to make it, I-cord would be too thick. O
I kicked the Bucket!
Tuesday, 13 May 2003 11:59 P GMT-06
It's done and I am glad to say it isn't hanging over my head anymore. 1 more thing finished and out of here! Check it out here.
I stepped in....to a burning Ring Of Fire
Tuesday, 13 May 2003 11:59 P GMT-06
Well I didn't actually step into it, I am knitting it!
Doesn't all that furriness make it look as if it is on fire? I took it along to knit on during my knit guild meeting last night. After casting on 112 sts I realized that my needle was wa
Bucket of Chicken!
Monday, 12 May 2003 11:59 P GMT-06
Not really, just a Bucket of Chicken Bag. That's what you get when the original felted bag you made is too big. You cut it up, resew it together and end up with excess fabric. So then you garter stitch a bottom, it's drying, and knit up some I-cord f
Maude!
Monday, 12 May 2003 10:50 A GMT-06
And I am not talkin 'bout Bea Arthur. This is the Maude I wanna be! Or an even better Maude this would be. But would my "larger than the second Maude" torso look good in Maude? And I think the second Maude's colors are nicer than the first Maude
