Check it out! Some lovely stuff in there. Kudos to Caryn Lantz for her wonderful pattern dealing with the issues of curvy gals. Sure wish I had more curves on top and less on bottom. LAMOL! [laughing at myself out loud ;-)] -that is not supposed to

It was a dark and dreary....um, day
Monday, 30 August 2004 11:59 P GMT-06
Hmm, just doesn't have the impact does it. But it is a dreary day and knitting will be the focus. Found out last night that our friends were able to find convenient day care for the bambinos, so I will have my days free to be at school when needed. T

Knitting is Knice

Spent the day knitting with my friend Betsey at my house. I happened to catch her on line and issued the last minute invite. Isn't it great, we are willing to drop all those important things to sit and knit with our friends. Things like laundry and c

Oh my, it was the last day of Stitches, how would I ever go back to my former life. You know the one....doing my own laundry, making my own bed, washing my dishes, and doing it for 3 others to boot! Couldn't I just stay here and learn for the rest o

It was so hard to go to sleep Thursday evening, knowing what fun would be had on Friday, but I finally drifted off. Early Friday I got going and got to class. I had Shawl Collars with Carole Wulster and it was a wonderful class. She taught us how to

Just had to cast on for the shawl, and even though I am not far along I wanted to show you its loveliness. The yarn loveliness that is. This pattern is so easy to remember I should have no problem doing it while riding.

Sleep!

I need more. Whew! Too many things going on. We had the Birthday Bash 2004 last night at my Mom's. I guess we need a large banquet hall to fit all my family in one room. Not that I have that many siblings, I am talking extended family. We are a close

It's done, and 3 hours to party time. The fringe is on , but will most likely get shortened. Just want to wait until she tries it on before I cut it. Yes, I know she has it on in the pictu
Knitting for Peace
Saturday, 14 August 2004 1:30 P GMT-06
No, I am not advocating any knitting revolution to bring about world peace. I don't think "revolution" can bring about "peace". But I am advocating knitting for your own personal peace. I was with my knit buds this morning, for ou

Long summer coming, but there's some more items to put in the books. Are they things I have been working on all Summer. No, they both were just started last week! I guess the only thing still hanging around since the beginning of Summer is Devan, an

...for the kids. Freedom for me!! Took the "childrens" to school this morning. Younger was having tears before she even got dressed. Her main concern was how much she would miss me all day. She was only at school half a day last year. I tol
Grafting is a snap!
Tuesday, 10 August 2004 12:04 P GMT-06
Why, I love to graft. You think I am crazy? You may be wrong, for all I know you may be right. Exhibit A: I have been working on grafting the back of Devan after adding 1" to lengthen it. Can you tell which line of sts is the graft? Warning: A

Taking a weekend trip to Indy, say hi if you are at the Brickyard, I'll wave to the TV. That's right, I will not be at the race. It's always too hot in Indy in Aug to sit at a race. So now the forecast is for mild temps. Of course!, I am not going. I

Too much knitting going on
Thursday, 5 August 2004 10:56 A GMT-06
I guess when the slump stops the deluge starts! 1 month ago I had no desire to knit and mega time. Now I have too much desire and not enough time. Currently on the needles: Jen's Poncho Redux in Merino Light, Secret Design knitting with plans to sel
