My favorite

I just got back from eating at one of my favorite meals. Lasagna at Porta Fino. If you ever make it to Daytona Beach Shores, try it. Ah, the Germans. Although my niece noted that we went out for Italian on the night after the Italians won their mat

Hooray!

My books were picked up by one of the knit buds. I didn't even think to call her. I guess I thought she was out of there the same time as I and wouldn't have seen them. Maybe she went back in or came in the next day. Now to email her my thanks! So,

The Eagle has landed

Actually the Eagle landed last night, but you know how that goes. Too much settling in to do. We had a good first leg of the journey. But then during dinner out with my knitting bud the skies opened up. And they didn't close until we were back on the

2 more Heart Attacks

I warned them. I explained what it was they had in their possession. Did they listen and take the proper precautions? No. I learned the truth yesterday. My public library system is lax. Seems the only copy of Aran Knitting in this city* is no more. I

I know, unbelievable, 3 days in a row of blogging. What can I say. I am finding snatches of time here and there. Between piles of laundry. But don't get too used to it, we only have dial up in Florida and no photo capabilities. So it will be pretty b

Hard Day

Yesterday was an emotional day. My Dad is having back problems and they can't find the cause. So they scheduled an MRI. Only thing is, the pain meds were causing hallucinations. So he was unable to go through with the MRI. It's hard to see your stron

Oh no!

I just lost a huge post! OK, here it is in short: Finished 2 baby sweaters, undid one baby hat and loved all the comments you've left. Baby #1 and sewn on collar.   Baby #2 and undone hat  I'm done. Maybe particulars will follow tomorr

I had to play too

Saturday, 17 June 2006 6:05 P GMT-06
I had to play because I wanted to leave a comment for Katyknits. So, play or not. Please leave a one-word comment that you think best describes me — it can only be one word long.  Then copy and paste this into your blog so that I may lea

That Hubster loves me. Background first. Early on in our dating life it became apparent that my then boyfriend was not into Public Displays of Affection, here on known as PDA. Not that he doesn't love to be touchy feely, just not in public. So I wou

Just saw this over at Yarn Envy. I think I could find some lonely, unloved (by me), skeins to send. It seems that Yarn is moving to Ohio. Maybe I should have her stop on her way and knit for a bit. What's up with this, 3 posts in 3 days? Life reall

The Low Down

Thursday: 1st Class- Japanese Pattern Reading. A great class taught by Denise Bean of Dancing Fibers. Lovely Diakeito stuff. I am so not scared of the 3 pattern books I have in Japanese now. Of course, the crochet styles still scare me. But knitting?

Oh. My!

I am home from TNNA. The title says it all. I am overwhelmed and thoroughly in heaven. It was as close to Stitches as possible without the dent in my wallet. Oh wiat, the clothes shopping I did each night were a dent in my wallet! High point of the w

A stitch at a time

Kind of how I am getting through life right now. I am working on the Flower Basket Shawl more than anything else. The baby boleros are waiting for a try on of the sleeves for the 3 year old size. I know I could be working on the 6 month size, bu
