Where did I leave things? Yes, picking up the pre-schooler from school. Once lunch was done I had to run to get the Younger from school. Ear ache which was caused by ear infection. She has been on meds since Thursday night and finally the pain has su

I guess you all agreed with me then.Knitting. I actually got to a point yesterday when I wanted nothing more to do with the needles. What was wrong with me? Nothing. Just had knit enough on that Flash Dance. So I put aw

But first the knitting news. Moving along on the Flash Dance (sorry for the blurry photo). Hopped over to Starbuck's last night to join the gals. Soccer game was a no-go due to wet field conditions. Brief shower almos
How I spent my Monday

Lazy day with lots of kntting and not much else until the girls came home from school. Then it's denying requests and making plans for the evening and refereeing arguments. Some days I wish for a turtle shell to escape to. A sound proof one. Big even

Yep, I am still in all the boring parts of the knitting. 2 inches of ribbing to go on the body of Tweed. Also on Tweed, one sleeve done and second sleeve into the St st portion. Still working with the idea of steeking t

Did I start the darling Parfait Play? You be the judge. Ick! Not at all what I wanted. And the Tubular Cast-on didn't turn out as expected, because I reversed the directions. I did purl 2nd st, knit 1st st when I should have done, knit 2nd st, pur

My blog is a traded stock? This is strange. Anyone have a clue what is going on here?
What's Gnu with you?

Nothing much here. Just more knitting on the endless ribbed projects. I am up to 5" on the body of Tweed and 4" on the 2nd sleeve. See, very boring. Flame Stitch? It's just over 2" for Flame, 250 sts worth. Ouch! Do I really want to go down in gauge on th

Oh, I want some, I love it. But not as a sleeve. And that's what I was getting with the Tweed Pullover sleeve. It may look like a golf club cover in that photo, but belive me, by the time I was done with the sharp inc
Parfait Anyone

Spent Friday evening at Elder's softball practice, so I knit on Parfait. Well, I only swatched it. And a lovely swatch it is. Baby Cashmerino has got to be one of my favorites! So smooth and luscious. So small a gauge. Oh well, it's almost perfect. A

Just found this via passionknit. I can do that.Just think, three of the items I am working on now are Stashbusters. OK, so two involved buying yarn, but the majority of the materials were already in the stash. Now to make sure I work on them for
