2010 Knitting List
On a whim, I made a list of all the projects I want to do and when I might possibly do them over the next year. OMG! There’s a whole year’s worth. Scary. The links are for the pattern entries in Ravelry so you’ll only see them if you are logged in there. January Pink/purple [...]

Loooong Time, No Blog
My poor neglected blog! I’ve been assimilated into Facebook. While it fulfills those quick fixes it doesn’t lend it self well to the longer posts that I (infrequently) want to write. Like Now! By hook or by crook, I’m going to make this holiday special. I keep trying to do that as each holiday approaches [...]

True False Film Festival Parade
Despite frigid temps, Mardi made his first appearance in this year’s T/F parade. It was great! There were some equipment failures… the velcro that secured the sleeve to the mobile hand came loose. It was so cold that even duct tape didn’t stick the sleeve to the hand. And almost at the end of the [...]

Goals
Back again so soon! Killing a few minutes before waking up the kids to drive down (or is it up) to the Amish community for some groceries. Fresh milk and eggs, yum! Been thinking about goals vs resolutions. Between Cat and Bob, I have lots of inspiration. This year I’m setting goals vs making resolutions. [...]

(house work and school work usually suffers not to mention everyone is generally cranky) Yesterday morning (7:45 am) the kids and I dropped off the Earth Day bags at Moser’s. Then drove out to Lamanana’s farm to help with alpaca [...]

NESOB progress
Still knitting on these Never Ending Socks Of Blue. But I can feel the end is getting close. Maybe it is my excitement that is makeing the rounds go faster. LOL! I mean I’m adding stitches… but it is going faster. Man! I can’t wait to wear these. They are sooooooo comfy! So far, I’ve [...]

Swatch-smatch
Usually, I don’t do knitting swatches. Life’s too short sez I. But for this yarn I really want to make sure I get the pattern and stitch just right. First was just plain ol stockingette, nice but I wanted some texture. So then I tried a bamboo stitch (new one for me), pretty but maybe [...]

Birthday Lamby
Just a quickie note on an FO for Jessie’s upcoming birthday. I still have the bunny to finish and a bag to make to hold them. Crunch time! I’m pretty pleased with the way this on turned out. The arm and leg placement is better this time. Though I’m still not completely happy with the [...]

Sunday Fun & Weird Weather
Wow! You’d have thought today was spring. Nearly seventy degree temps, thunder storms, tornado watches. We hit the park before lunch and had a great time. Sam had a gaggle of kiddos chasing him. I unfortunately forgot my camera or I would have some really funny shots to show you. Met two new homeschooling moms [...]
