Confession

Forgive me Blog readers for I have sinned. It has been almost 3 days since my last post. Wait a minute, I'm not Catholic. Oh well. Where has the time gone and why does it feel like Saturday already? It sure hasn't been flying by because I am sitting

Help

Does anyone know how to get me out of Monkey Temple Madness??? I get to the bottom of the temple and can't get out. Please, somebody help me!! Oh ,the madness of it all. Knitting, oh yeah, this IS a knitting blog. Still working, still crud in my lung

I'm missing serious knitting time here!

Having to go work for my SIL is really cutting into my knitting time. My Dad is such a Scrooge, he won't let me sit and knit. Keeps sending me out on errands; go pick up these blades, run this guy home for lunch (his car broke down in the snow), file

Not much to say

Monday, 27 December 2004 4:19 P GMT-06
No real knitting content as I worked for my SIL today and since home have been packing away more boxes and trash. Trying to get the girls to move the Christmas toys to their rooms, yeah, right! I have all MY Christmas put away. In knitting, I did ab

Whew!

What a day. Was your Christmas as fun as mine? I hope so. We watched the girls tear into their packages, aw, clothes??? At least Santa had toys for them. And then "Santa" remembered she forgot to put out 4 other items. So "Mom" ha

Knitting is a good thing....

.....to do while snowed in and watching Chamber of Secrets (HP movie). Maybe I can knit while watching Prisoner of Azkaban (Elder is getting it tonight from her cousin, I hope) tomorrow.  I really need to make DH a sock hat for his cold head. Poor t

No knitting is good knitting

At least for me right now. Seems everytime I try to work on Shedir I just mess it up. I do not like the way she set up the chart. It's wonderful that she is trying to keep the continuity of the cable design, but I think the wording and chart could ha

Don't wait up for knitting content

I have ripped the chemo cap once again. Third time has to be the charm. Thankfully I have only ripped it back to the last repeat of the cables and am  quickly back on track. Life has gotten real busy, don't even have time to list the reasons. Paper

Checking in

Not much to say even though I have been busy. Have the first of the Christmas events tonight after a piano recital so I am trying to get ready for them. Wishing you a great weekend and Merry Christmas if I forget. In knitting I ripped back too many

Funniest thing Younger said yesterday

While watching Spiderman she asked why were Spiderman and Mary Jane Watson trying to eat each other's face. It was the kissing scene. Hmm, how to answer that one.

IMAX makes me sick

Friday, 17 December 2004 3:51 P GMT-06
No, really. Makes me want to puke my guts up. At least if I have to sit 3 rows back from that humongous screen. So I had to go scavenge for an empty seat higher up. Not so bad up there, but the roller coaster effect of the "Polar Express" h

All Aboard! For the Polar Express...

I'm climbing on board, although I would rather sneak out and watch The Incredibles. Going along on a field trip today, and since they didn't write a book and then make the movie about The Incredibles, I doubt the teacher will let us switch movies. So

All season long......

I am showing my lack of sense. I am not using ASC for the hat, it is CALMER! Sure wish I was CALMER! Must be the nerves acting up.I had a busy and pleasant Monday. Hard to believe, huh? First off, I was writing my post and just enjoying my morning. R

All season long....

.....I could knit with All Seasons Cotton. I am doing Shedir from the Knitty.com Breast Cancer issue. The color is Flamingo and boy is it pink! This is for the mother of one of our teachers. She has been battling cancer for awhile. I made two hats f

Nothing boring here!!!!!

Met my buds for knitting today. Our favorite hangout changed it's hours to 10:00 AM, so there some of us were sitting in my van knitting. Hey, you gotta do what you gotta do. But then we got inside and had a lovely time. I ended up bringing home an A

Another boring entry

Friday, 10 December 2004 11:59 P GMT-06
Yep, boring. Felted slippers. Aren't you just about tired of that by now? I know I am. Sorry to be so boring, I promise next year will be fun and exciting. No more boring knitting. No more knitting things I have already done 20-30 times! It will all

Oh my!

You just gotta go read these, some are too funny. Be prepared to sit a spell. Now to forward this to my sister, the librarian.

Yep, another change

Thursday, 9 December 2004 12:57 P GMT-06
Not sure if this one will be around long. I loved the brown with pink, but it was too dark for comfortable reading. I guess I could do a Christmas theme, but not enough time today to set it up. I am running in to help at my Dad's office while my Dad

Thank you

...for the nice comments about the $12.00 outfit. I just got the denim blue yarn for another Patriot Act yesterday. Now this next one, from the same pattern, will not be $12.00. The yarn alone is twice that much. Think I could find a pair of jeans

Buy Red or Blue

A link to a neat site which has provided shopping aid to those wanting to support the political contributors of the 2004 election. I know the site says buy blue, but you can use it to buy accordingly. Whew! Glad to see my favorite restaurants are red

The darling $12.00 outfit

Tuesday, 7 December 2004 12:43 P GMT-06
While I was out buying the new baby a blanket and some gowns I found some jeans on clearance. Thinking they would look darling with the sweater, I looked at the size, yep, 12 months. Perfect for a 6-12 month size sweater. So for $12.00 I had a pair

Jump start my day, please

Tuesday, 7 December 2004 7:55 A GMT-06
I have a busy day today, need to be a few places at once, isn't that always the case. I am beginning to think I should split myself in two. The knitting me would do all the sitting and waiting errands, like the Dr appts., sports activities, pinao les

Well, I was going to go knit

But a certain someone has something else to say about it. Baby Girl got in bed with me last night, Hubster left to put out a "fire" at work at 11:30 and I have no idea what time he got home. Anyhoo, Baby Girl had that raspy voice going on a

Tis the season..

...to pray your husband doesn't fall off the roof while putting up the Christmas lights. Ack! That's how I spent part of my day. I was also putting clips on the light strands so he could put them along the edge of the eaves. I am so much better off w
