Am I packed yet? No! Don't ask me again. I have the clothes picked out, just not suitcased yet. I have had too many other important things to do. Like teach my last beginning class at Vectren. They have invited me to come back for lunch knitting

You couldn't tell by the house that I am leaving for vacation soon. Laundry is close to being done. Only one person is packed. No provisions have been purchased for the trip, I usually have drinks and snacks to nosh on. Not this time. We will jus
My Cryptic Note

I didn't mean to scare anyone. As I said, it's not life threatening, so why am I being such a ninny! I guess I can say something, I mean, who reads my blog AND works with my Hubster? Anyone, anyone at all? It's a move that has me nervous.

They come at you from all sides. One could be hitting us, and hitting us big. I know it's no fun to read vague references, but since the information is not common knowledge yet, I can't reveal it here. But it will impact us greatly. I am sick
Since I have nothing for you, how about a flash from the past

In honor of my upcoming Florida trip I thought I would show those knits that traveled to Florida with me in the past. This knit was my first true steek project. I made up a swatch and sewed it before trying it on the real sweater. I don't c
Beginners are so much fun!

Another lunch time at a local business and another session of knitting at knoon, which is also a lovely pattern source. There are some intrepid knitters in the class and some who are finally finding their rhythm. We moved on to purl today and everyon
Grafting/Kitchener/Joining two edges with sewing
Wednesday, 20 June 2007 7:45 A GMT-06
Or whatever you call it. I call it seamless. I love the option of grafting to keep things from looking sewn or fudged to look good. Learning how to graft/etc.. can be the best finishing tool you can learn. OK, mattress stitch is the funnest tool, gra
Progress

It can be done. You just have to find a block of time. So, my progress from Sunday. As You Like It III is past the 4th section and I am shooting for 7 total. Not sure the yarn will last, and even more, if I will. But I think I can get through i
What a difference a day makes
Sunday, 17 June 2007 7:23 P GMT-06
As of yesterday very little knitting got done around here. As of tonight, much knitting has been done. I am up to the armhole separation on Starlight, Starnight, the boy's version of the baby sweater I am designing. Everyone who sees it, just lov
Ravelry hasn't been wasting my time, honest
Saturday, 16 June 2007 5:15 P GMT-06
Life has been doing a great job of it. But not really. It's been fun, not a waste. I have been swimming, working, eating, ravelrying, bloglines reading (would you guys seriously stop posting so much!), reading reading (the trashy novel book kind)
Ravelry, Time waster or timeless fun
Tuesday, 12 June 2007 10:24 P GMT-06
It is sucking up a lot of my time. I can't wait to get on and try everything out, and then I end up spending too much time there. I am getting ready to add all the current stash, which will be a good thing for those times I am away from the stash
I'm in!
Sunday, 10 June 2007 3:32 P GMT-06
And now I get to have fun, and work on getting my stuff entered. Here I am , for those who are also in. I can see I have a lot of catch up to do. I am hoping the lady who has 191 projects isn't talking WIPs! Good golly!
Man am I beat!

It's been a long 2 days. Yesterday I had beginning knitting at Vectren, got the girls from where I had parked them while gone, went home, went to the grocery (Man, how easily I spend $175.00 in 30 minutes! And I only went for soup ingredients!),
How to start
Wednesday, 6 June 2007 6:48 P GMT-06
I pulled out my Alpaca from Frontier Fibers, 2 different shopping trips, and arranged them according to my plans for a graduated color shawl, a la Charlotte's Web. I am thinking the light tan is not working. But, not sure I want to just have the
More stash enhancement!! Didn't take me long
Saturday, 2 June 2007 12:12 P GMT-06
You know, I just realized that I am not even keeping track of the purchases on my craft challenge anymore. Oh, well! I don't have a clue where I am at by now. Probably 20 skeins over!! I also haven't been keeping up on UFO knitting. Bad Chri
