The felted stuff is all crammed into one photo, sorry. I will take "real" photos of the stuff when it's back in my possesion, everything is on display right now. So here we have: Unfelted Clog, Felted Clog and Felted Oven MittClogs are Kure

Can't get to my pics, so it's a book review post

Thursday, 29 December 2005 11:33 A GMT-06
I received 4 new books from my book club subscription yesterday. I will give a brief review of the choices I made. 1st book: The Knitting Answer Book by Margaret Radcliffe. Love it! It's in the form of a Q&A with Chapters from Casting On and th

What happened here? An explosion of knitting? Why yes, and now an explosion of felting is taking place. But before those explosions, there was a real explosion here at Casa B. A contained explosion, but with fire and fury. Seems the oven couldn't ha

No title Tuesday

Can't think of anything to relate to my post, so no title today. So what's on the schedule today? Returns for Elder, I want to keep all of my stuff. Dr appt for Younger, it's a bark now, not just a cough. Then I guess we might be celebrating Christ

It's over, until next year

Monday, 26 December 2005 10:18 A GMT-06
Technically we have one more celebration to go, his Dad, but for the most part it is over. One year we had 6 celebrations due to people being out of town and such. This year will be our normal 5 events. At least I don't have to cook or prepare f

Good Day all!

And a wonderful "Christmas" morning it was. Yes, it was out Christmas today. We decided tomorrow was too busy, church comes first. So we opened out Christmas present this morning. I got a lovely Silk jacket and shirt set from Coldwater Cree

Yes, another one of those review shows. The kind you hate to watch, but it's like a train wreck, you can't look away. So, the good, bad and ugly of what? My knitting, of course. The Good: What item would I pick as being the best of the year? In term

Boring Knitting

Wednesday, 21 December 2005 10:16 A GMT-06
Don't come around here looking for something beautfiul and fantabulous like Rabbit's Butterfly. You won't find a finished product here today. Just miles of boring St st. I don't know which is worse, the Circular St st or the flat St st. At least

Tons down, 4 to go

Tuesday, 20 December 2005 3:28 P GMT-06
My shopping is down to 4 presents. I can't believe it. Almost to the finish line. 3 can't be bought until Thursday, book ordered for Elder and gift cards from Borders for 2 others. Hopefully I will find something for my youngest niece in between

A great service to our Service men and women

Just got this info in an email from a friend. If you feel so inclined please take a moment to take part in this. Off I go to write out some cards. I would say "Christ" (aka Me, see previous post) commands you, but I realize some of you marc

Wow, I got promoted to Christ

Sang in my church's Cantata yesterday and glancing over the bulletin, I found I was no longer Queen, I was Christ. Yep, Christ B., that's me. See, the real name is Christy (gosh, does that sound weird to say, I so do not think of myself as a Chr

It's good to be the Queen

Saturday, 17 December 2005 4:37 P GMT-06
Like I really have that authority. But at least today for a few brief hours I was able to go do what I wanted. After choir I headed out to Border's to knit with my buds. Met a new to the group knitter who happens to live close to me, and got to see s

Oh great, now I want to start something else!

It's all Rebecca's fault. There she goes and gets permission from Borealis Yarns to post the Brioche Stitch Scarf pattern. Sure, I might have been able to pick it up from Nancy's wonderful article in Interweave 2005 Spring. But I kept saying I didn't

I know, a big change from my other blog titles. So, it was the big Teacher's Christmas Luncheon today. I was in charge of the party and panic was setting in this week. Would I have enough soup, salads and sweets to feed the hungry masses. My name may
