OK, I'm still knitting on the strap, but....

Sunday, 30 November 2003 2:29 P GMT-06
I actually haven't been knitting on it since Wednesday night. I ended up working on Nordic whenever I was free, which wasn't much. I was usually just too sleepy to knit when I wasn't busy. But almost all my Christmas shopping is done and I have

Still knitting on the strap!

Went to the Wadi for our informal Tuesday night knitting. Anne and Mary and I were the trio. I had Lucy to knit on. When I got settled and started knitting I noticed that I was approaching the end of the ball. Now where's the last ball of yarn? Oh wa

A whole lot of knitting going on.

Yesterday afternoon and evening yielded a good block of knitting time. Even though I did try to burn the deer filets (not my choice) in the George Foreman Grill, I got dinner done while knitting on Lucy. She is now waiting for the straps to be done.

My shortest post ever?

Just might be. Not a lot to say, so I will just say hello and get back to pattern writing. Had a busy weekend with not a lot of knitting. Marching with Brownies in the local Parade, baby shower, choir practice and minii concert. I did knit at shower

Lucy Liu

Not that Lucy Liu. This Lucy. See that lovely swirl design the increases make. Too bad it won't show in the felting, much less that it is on the underside of the bag and wouldn't show anyway. It's pretty boring now. Just about 60 more rows of St st.

Good morning!

Really, I should say Bad Morning. I did not want to get out of bed! Must have slept poorly last night. I do remember I woke up a lot. Maybe I can grab a nap today? Knitting on the secret project is coming to a close. Thank goodness, I want to knit

Three Little Kittens...

...need some mittens! So be looking for a mitten pattern that you can buy to make them some really glitzy mittens! I am getting ready to launch my first for purchase pattern at a not-so-LYS. But at least it is still in Indiana. River Knits will have

OK, I posted!

Anne noticed that I hadn't yet posted today. Hadn't even planned on it. I am not wanting to be on the computer much these days. So to get me motivated I did some blog clean up. You may notice less "stuff" in the gutters. I guess I needed to clean up

Nothing much to say

Monday, 17 November 2003 8:48 A GMT-06
Knitting news around here is all secret stuff so not a lot that I can say. In other news I am getting the hair color thing today so maybe I will post a pic of the new do. And maybe a bob will be in store for me. We'll see. I guess I really need to ta

Knit 14 together

Saturday, 15 November 2003 2:14 P GMT-06
What do you get when you knit together with 13 others? A fun morning. We had our monthly meeting at the Wadi and we are fast outgrowing the couches. We had lots of neat projects going and some FOs to show. Mine included The Perfect Pouch&nb

Help me, I think I'm falling....in too much stuff!

Friday, 14 November 2003 8:23 A GMT-06
I am slowly sinking in too many projects, yarns and ideas! I was at the point of a panic attack last night just trying to figure our where to put all the new yarns and how to clean up my knitting couch area. Every few weeks I get in there and try to

I'm an idiot....

cord maker. Yes i-cord reigns supreme in my home at the moment. Maybe 100" of it by the time I am done with the Perfect Pouch. Although I find it boring to tears, it is good for those meeting times when you can't really read a pattern. Now I am just

There are some of you who take on any cause, be it righteous or not. This message is for you. I do not care how much money you raise or how many lawsuits are filed. I will not rescue the Fuzzy Feet from the rag pile. They have out lived their usefuln

Good morning and The Shower Head

Although I would rather go back to sleep. I had strange dreams that kept me up, would wake up from them very disoriented. Now I am needing to get into the swing of things and get laundry done, get some knitting done and be ready for Knit Guild tonigh

Congratulations Matt Kenseth!!!!

The 2003 NASCAR Winston Cup Champion. Clinched the title today even though there is one more race to go. Sure is nice to see one of my favorites win it. Of course it would have been even better if my #1 fav Mark Martin had won, but at least he wins a

Oh, What A Night!

It turned out to be wonderful! DH ran to have a "meeting" with some work friends at a local small town bar and brought home dinner. Steak Sandwiches, Hamburgers, French Fries and Cheese Pizza! Yum! Then he went outside to use his cellphone and when h

Mail Call!!!

Mail Call!!!!! Here's the Lucy Bag and yarn and the Perfect Pouch. And The Wool Rag is here for me to dream with! Now do I have any chance of finishing anything in my gutter? Probably not! And then I went ahead and started a hat for a friend's

Whole lot of nothing going on

Wednesday, 5 November 2003 3:34 P GMT-06
Another busy day in which I doubt knitting will get done. I need to formulate a plan and gather the supplies to start cranking out those To Knit List items. 2 projects are on their way, but since Threadbear is soooo far away, wrong!, it takes 2 extra

Another day, another non knitting post!

Tuesday, 4 November 2003 12:03 P GMT-06
Yep, still too hot to knit. But that may change tonight when I sit at Border's and knit with the gang. It is alway sooo cold in their store I freeze, and that's not my normal body temp! It will be strange to put on warm clothes just to be warm enough

Where's my foot stool?

Monday, 3 November 2003 3:11 P GMT-06
Whew! Another busy day. It started nice and slow with time to read the blog list. But then I let time slip by and it was rush to get ready to run errands and help serve at a funeral lunch. During the running of the errands it was apparent Younge

Well, Elle, you sure look swell!

I am soooo happy! I have yet another felted bag to occupy my time. This one is simply lovely, no not simply, it's hardly lovely. Oh wait, that's not right either. Whatever the terminology, it's a must do. Do go and visit Bruxknits and get y

Whew!

After 3 nights of costumed fun I am glad it's time to close the book on another Halloween. This one was the busiest so far. But the girls had fun. Tonight was a Harvest Fest at our church and the kids got to play games and win candy, go through a maz
