I just want my bed!

Thursday, 29 March 2007 6:49 P GMT-06
Going to visit is fun. But coming home and being in my cozy spot is better! I can't wait to get in my bed and snuggle. Right now I am in my knitting spot and sitting with the Hubster. He made a great steak, my belly's full and I am wiped out.

Brrr

Just when you think you have the right mix of clothes, the weather throws you a loop. We had a beautiful, if hot, day in Indy Tuesday. We took our friend and her 2 little ones to the Zoo. Wonderful day. Ab is 4 and Cab is 1. She loves the girls and h

Hey all, hope your weekend was fabu. We had a lazy one full of enjoying the weather and picking up the house. Now its laundry time before the girls and I head to Indy. Going up to see the sister unit and visit with some friends. And drop in on a knit

Stop singing your siren song. I refuse to listen to you. Sure, I picked up a needle and one skein of the Lime Blue. Just to see if I could use the Paton's Urban Aran pattern with such a shocking variegated yarn*. Thing is, I didn't have the p

It's just a few days away. Next week is Spring Break and I plan to sleep in every day! The last few weeks have been earlier than usual due to Elder's school project. But it ends tomorrow. We are headed to Indy for a few days next week, a chan

Back to sleep I go

Stayed up too late working on that toddler sweater. I got to the point of picking up the neckband, and even knit it. Too sloppy. So I ripped back and will knit the collar separate, now that I found my 16" size 5 US needle. I did the first on the

What a weekend!

Good times with good friends. Who could ask for more? Good times with knit friends! Good food with knit friends! Good knitting with knit friends. And maybe having the other knit friends along. Judy, Donna and Sherry and I headed for Illinois to knit

Good Times

Anticipating is the hard. I am truly an impatient person when it comes to waiting for events. This weekend I am heading out with some knit buds to spend the night with a friend of a friend. But I feel I know Kim very well. You kind of feel a closenes

Oh No!!!!!!

In reviewing the post I made yesterday I noticed a glaring error in one of the photos. No, not the obvious cut stitch in the pop up. And not the missed st in the checkerboard pattern right on the front left side. 2nd box in from left edge, 4 rows up

Blocking Tutorial

Psyche! Don't worry, I am so not going there. But I did want to show why I block before seaming. Exhibit A: Markblomst Cardigan knit, steeked, sewn and cut open. Curly wurly. Not at all what

I got smart and have joined KALs that cover the same items. More Bang for the Buck? So the first item that falls under more than one KAL is Markblomst. This is the left front/back at shoudler. All kni

Man, once I get started, I just can't stop! I hope you all are enjoying this wealth of sharing on the old blog. Don't get used to it! I may only have so much to give. Once it's gone, that&

Swatch Tutorial

Thursdy evening I had a student who was working on a baby sweater. She had yarn that was slightly bigger in gauge than the pattern gauge. But since baby sweaters are grow-into-able we didn't sweat

No help needed

I hope this has taken care of the problem. I am now using Firefox for my browser when I am posting. So let's see what I can use on my editor that I used to not be able to use. Pictures? Looks like

Help!

Blog-City, that wonderful blog service has given us a new upgrade. Love the looks of it! But it is not happy with my browser or computer, Mac*kie. So at least I can get this basic editor to load and c

Happy Day!

We went out for pizza last night to celebrate my Guy's special day. His 40th special day. We were joined by 2 other families of 4. We had a great time. The kids all behaved and the pizza is the best in town. We need to do that more often. But wit

Just how can that be?

The year is Marching on

Thursday, 1 March 2007 8:18 A GMT-06
Can it really be March already? What happened to Jan and Feb? Fallen by the wayside. So what can march hope to bring? First I must dispense with Feb. Feb update for Craft Challenge. I pulled out Celtic Dreams and it is back on track gangbusters! I am
