Don't mittens usually have 2 to a pair? That's just an old wive's tale. Real kids only wear one mitten! Ok, I am actually going to make the 2nd one today. But I have to hurry or it won't be finished in Sept! I know, only I care for my little photo al

What can ruin a great day?

This! Now how am I gonna fix this? Darn it!!
Here is a shot of the sock my MIL sent back to me for repair. This was made last year and is from Silja yarn and the pattern is adapted from the Whitby sock in Knitting on the Road. I replaced the kn

yes it is a sunshiny day, hope it's the same for you.
In secret knitting I finished one item last night and felted it. After the first felting I was afraid that something was terribly wrong! It didn't look like I have envisioned it. Oh no, what to d

Not sure what time it is where you are visiting from. Let's talk about Fall! As you can see from my new look I am very aware that it is Fall. The perfect time of year. The leaves are becoming brilliant palettes of color, the sky is as blue as, well,

Just finished a Scissors case and it will be mailed out tomorrow. Here's the back also. Spent the afternoon at a friend's discussing programs for next year's EGA, I am taking over this chair position. She was giving me all the stuff I need to kn
Can you tell a difference?

I admit I haven't been burning along on it. Just a slow burn. But now comes the time that progress will be measured 4 rows at a time. But then it won't really seem like much since it is just a repeating pattern, 3 rows MC, 1 row lice st(3 MC sts, 1 C
Oh no!

I think my blog counter is going to hit 50,000 tonight while I am asleep! I wanted to be here when it happened. DH thinks half those hits are from me visiting the site, but I actually went with an outside source for the counter, subtracted a large nu
Good Afternoon

Wow, where did my morning go? Well first there was the elder to get up and ready for school. Then the younger and I got ready for our morning adventure. We went to the Mesker Park Zoo with my cousin's wife and their daughter. Our girls are buddi
Can I just go back to sleep?
Monday, 22 September 2003 9:24 A GMT-06
Was not into waking up this morning. But when you have a kid to get off to school you can't make that decision to just go back to sleep. So I dragged my sorry butt out of bed and went to Elder's room to wake her up. Um, no kid in the bed. As I passed

Spent the morning at the Wadi Cafe knitting with my buds. 9 of us were there and all kinds of knitting was getting done. Lea finished a pair of socks, D and Ky were working on the Cross Stitch scarf, B and E were working on different scarves, Ki

Friday, 19 September 2003 9:21 A GMT-06
I knit a little yesterday, but I can't show ya cause it's secret! And I don't keep secrets very well. I am hoping to submit it to a wonderful publication so it must not be shown or spoken of. Other than that I was kid free for most of the day so
Just give me 10 reasons.
Thursday, 18 September 2003 9:08 A GMT-06
Well actually, not reasons but 10 things you wished you had learned about knitting sooner. Nanette did hers today, spurred on by Sally Melville's new book. So I will give my 10 things "I" wished I had learned sooner.
1. Blindly following a pattern,
Fascinating Read
Wednesday, 17 September 2003 1:32 P GMT-06
I am adding a link to a wonderful read. I came to it by way of Mason-Dixon Knitting, another blog I need to add to my daily reads. Check out LivingWithCaucasians. It makes my wanderlust come out, but the comfort of home in me would win out! Be sure t
Tuesdays it is!

Ran out to knit with friends last night. We usually get together the 1st Tuesday of the month on the east side of town, but last night a few were at our west side haunt the Wadi Cafe. It is an eastern feel and has a love

Look at this. What's that on my hand? Where? Right there on my fingernails. What is that? What is it? Fingernail Polish? What's that? Oh, it's supposed to be on my nails. That's good, I thought it was some weird fungus or something.
See I am into m
Which one to choose???
Tuesday, 16 September 2003 10:04 A GMT-06
I can't pick they are all wonderful!!! But I must say that Tilt is the winner in my book. I just love it. Now to score some Silk Garden or similar gauge yarn to make it. But Rosedale is nice too, just as Noro as Tilt. Now to clear my plate so I can g

Progress update
Monday, 15 September 2003 3:29 P GMT-06
Well my Sunday started fine, except for a nagging sore throat that means I need to call the Dr today. By noon I was ready to take a nap! So to wake myself up I decided to run out to look for a 9US circ to continue on with the Ribby Cardi. Seems I had
Birthday time!

And I forgot the camera! Oh well, I will jsut have to use my words to set the scene.
We went to our friend's for their daughter's 3rd birthday. I had made the Kial's Kardi and Fixes for the birthday girl and the Fair Isle Cardigan and Hat

Color me boring!
Friday, 12 September 2003 9:10 A GMT-06
Yes, I am so boring I put myself to sleep! I haven't knit a stitch since Wednesday, OK, that may not be a tragedy for you, but I want to knit everyday! And why do I want to knit all the time? I don't really know. It seems that I have wanted to learn
How's this?
Thursday, 11 September 2003 11:59 P GMT-06
All pumpkiny and falling leafish. I think I will go with it, it took me long enough to work it out! Oh well. I am just getting better at learning how to use Blog-city. But no knitting is getting done while I am wasting time on this! So now it's off t

Nothing real exciting going on. I need to get bifocals but can survive with my old glasses I use for chart reading. I couldn't find frames I liked yesterday-nor could I get any service-so I will try another day. Elder is borderline near-sighted so th
