Sweaters for Children
Tuesday, 28 September 2004 11:59 P GMT-06
No, I am not starting a charity organization, but that would be a worthy cause. I am talking knitting sweaters for your kids. How thankful I am that I am still in the years of blindly accepting knit items and even being thankful to Mom for knitting t

........how you can lose your way. I spent the morning at a local farm maze trying to find my way out of the Maize Maze. I had a hard enough time trying to find my way out of the hay bale maze. Believe me, I am lost in there somewhere, being trample
Singing the Blues
Sunday, 26 September 2004 11:38 A GMT-06
About 14" done so far. I might stop at 17" since I have the 24" I need for the length already. Had planned to do the cables in the vertical measurement. But now I will just use them as a horizontal direction. It won't affect how I fini

Remote
Friday, 24 September 2004 10:24 A GMT-06
Couldn't think of a title for the day, so I just looked up at my computer desk for inspiration. First thing I saw was the remote. But that really speaks to my frame of mind yesterday. Due to the meds I had taken I was in a fog. After posting and get
Swatching

It's not a dirty word, so why do I avoid saying it? Because I hate all that it implies. The need to take my time as I approach a project. The double checking to see if yarn and pattern mix. The fact that I can't just jump right in and start knitting.

See this nice curly poncho?
Tuesday, 21 September 2004 7:08 P GMT-06
Well it doesn't look the same now. How about this view? Doesn't look like that either. I ripped out the 8 rows of garter stitch and have started them over. This time on a smaller needle. I didn't like the waffle with my
Tuesday's Turmoil and Turbidity
Tuesday, 21 September 2004 7:33 A GMT-06
But first, I finally decided on the yarn for St Brigid. Classic Elite Skye Tweed in, guess which color.......Spring Green! But that Magnificent Orange looks just as gorgeous. Maybe I will have to find something to do in that color. Okay Turmoil: Why

Man, Sunday was a productive day. I guess with 3 hours of car knitting and then the knitting done during the NASCAR race, a girl can get a lot accomplished. I finished panel #4 and then started the ribbed collar. Since I did the poncho bass-ackwards

Thursday, 16 September 2004 8:50 A GMT-06
Here is a shot of Miss Cuteness, sorry it had to be taken in the garage (the model was shy about putting on her poncho in public). I had to use the flash and it tends to not explain the actual color of the yarn. I thought camera flashes were supposed

Just how DO I get my links to blogroll? I am now cruising with Bloglines for my daily reads, man is that so much quicker! If you aren't already, you better be soon. Now I want those links on the site to rollover, but I am such the computer illiterate

Not much to say today. Just hung out with buds last night and knit at a local coffee house, Penny Lane. It really isn't our thing, veggie dishes, no meat and potatoes there. OK, so maybe potatoes. I worked on the 3rd poncho, into the Mango color. Got

Have you been there before? Lovely place! Actually, it was Spring Mill Park, 2 hours Northeast, of us, in Mitchell, IN. Haven't been there since High School? You know those wonderful "field trips". But this was no field trip, this was the
