Not a bit of knitting was done
Thursday, 31 March 2005 7:11 P GMT-06
Not a stitch since Tuesday night. Why? I was busy building. Went and got the bunk beds and shelf unit and ran other errands. Once the girls were home I did very little and eventually had to run Younger to piano. Then back home again and they ran off

The Pitfalls of Handspun
Wednesday, 30 March 2005 2:14 P GMT-06
I am charging through Caitlin, 2 fronts, 1 back, 1 sleeve done. As I approach the end of the 2nd front I compared it to the 1
Thanks!

Whoever took our rain did a great job of it. That rain was out of here a few hours later and I barely noticed it's wailing as it was carried off. Now, I would appreciate if you would keep it away for a long time. Of course now I am sneezing and water
Did someone misplace their rain?
Monday, 28 March 2005 11:59 P GMT-06
If so would you please come retrieve it, because we are tired of it. It's been hanging around since yesterday, crying to be fed. But I will not feed it, you know what happens if you feed it!I was telling my cousin's wife that I can tell the minute I
3 Pieces of Eight

That's one back, left front and the sleeve just waiting for the right front, 2nd sleeve, pocket lining and pocket flap. OK, so it would really be pieces of 10 if you add them all together. But they are so small do they
Half Frontal

Yes, we only give you half of what you want here. No going all the way. So it is with great pleasure I introduce Halfpint. Left front done, sleeve done, back- almost done. What's left? Rig
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, and the REALLY UGLY

The Good News: I received a thank you gift from Lynn for the test knitting I am doing. This is headed for a pair of socks for Younger, or maybe fingerless mitts. It's gorgeous color just makes you smile. And also this c

What's yours look like? Thanks to Erika for the link.
Pink Chibi Anyone?

Now I see what all the fuss is about. Wonder how much I can get for a used set. Talk about ridiculous. Oh, and how about a bridge I have to sell.
Markers for Sale
Wednesday, 23 March 2005 9:16 A GMT-06
Finally got around to making more beaded stitch marker sets. Check them out here. My favorite ones are the Grass Skirts set. Elder even got into the act and learned how to make them. Her set is called Red Cap. In knit news I didn't do much knittin
Rickrack, Slip slap
Tuesday, 22 March 2005 8:27 A GMT-06
I am hard at work on the Rickrack Lace that borders the shawl. Just when did this project decide to be resurrected from the ashes? I should be working on Caitlin while I am at home and have no distractions. Although at
Don't know why I stayed away so long
Monday, 21 March 2005 8:00 A GMT-06
I mean, I wasn't really that busy this weekend. I spent Saturday luncheon with my knitting friends. We had a goodbye knit in for our GA bound friend and it was packed. Thanks to Lea we had comfortable accommodations. Then I had to run Elder to a GSA
I'm getting there
Friday, 18 March 2005 8:28 A GMT-06
But first let me thank everyone for the comments and prayers in regards to our sorrow. We have hope for the future now. In knitting news I got quite a bit done yesterday, after all my running. But before I got to knit I had to fulfill a promise to Ka
Happy heart
Thursday, 17 March 2005 1:47 P GMT-06
What a difference knowledge can make. Yesterday it was the unknown that lay heavy on my heart. What would my great-nephew's life be like be with new parents? Today the future is bright. His new parents are wonderful and gracious. We know this is the
Heavy heart
Wednesday, 16 March 2005 7:39 A GMT-06
I just found out last night that my great-nephew will be leaving town with his new family today. My niece went ahead with giving him up. I know his paternal grandparents are shattered, as they had been caring for him and wanted to adopt him. And my S
Boring post today
Tuesday, 15 March 2005 9:02 A GMT-06
The only knitting being done is on a test pattern, so don't feel right in posting pics of it. Even though it is a pattern already out there and I learned of it from a blog. Will just wait until it's done and published. It actually isn't going well,
Not a good showing
Monday, 14 March 2005 4:46 P GMT-06
I spent the day with a friend who is soon to leave our fair city. She is moving to Dalton, GA this weekend. Boo-hoo. We ran down to Owensboro, KY to a shop called Special Things. Just a small shop next to a lady's home. I sucked at buying. Only got 2
4:30 AM?
Sunday, 13 March 2005 2:09 P GMT-06
No way, Kim, I am not going there. Please don't tell me I will be waking up that early, like I haven't already been doing it off and on for the last two weeks. This morning it was 3:00 AM, but I went back to sleep until 7:00 AM. No way am I getting u
It's party time
Saturday, 12 March 2005 8:57 P GMT-06
Well, it was for the last 3 hours. But now it's time for girls to be home and in bed after 2 full days. We had overnight guests on Thursday, lunch at a local pizza joint on Friday, theater that night and then the girls went home with the cousins (my
Bikini Pieces?
Friday, 11 March 2005 2:08 P GMT-06
If you just flip the triangles up and add some string it could be any bikini currently selling in the stores. Minimun coverage, depending on your size. Me? I have faced the fact I will never wear a bikini again. Haven't
Piece by Piece...
Thursday, 10 March 2005 9:26 A GMT-06
...this project grows. It really is amazing what you can accomplish when you focus on one thing. Even if it is boring to work on one thing at a time. Caitlin has 4 pieces done and 4 to go. Pocket linings and pocket flap
Another young one baffled by a poncho
Wednesday, 9 March 2005 10:52 A GMT-06
I dropped off the newly finished poncho, still damp for her steam bath, yesterday. We got Grace to try it on, and just like Erin, who received the same style of poncho, Grace had no clue what to do with her arms. It's
Cast off your burdens
Tuesday, 8 March 2005 12:14 P GMT-06
That's what I am doing. Casting off the burden of these 400+ sts. I am on the last 100+ panel and the light is dim, but growing brighter. I was up until wee hours working on the seams and most of the garter stitch edge.
Sunshine, on my shoulder, makes me
Monday, 7 March 2005 11:59 P GMT-06
all warm and fuzzy inside. At least, as long as there isn't a cold breeze blowing in my face. But for the most part, yesterday was a fine sunny day, and my face appreciated the warmth. Now this week, different story. Rainy today, although mild temps.
Busy Day
Saturday, 5 March 2005 4:55 P GMT-06
Spent the day running back and forth across our small city. First to meet with some knitters at Seeker's. I backed out S's collar so she could knit it on. One of those things where pattern pick up ratio is less than than the actual needs of the sweat
