No real news

I guess no news is good news, right? Just not much knitting going on here. We had overnight guests, of the kid variety, Tuesday night, so I had to do some amusing yesterday. We went to the pool and swam and then just hung out at the house. Then last

We went to the Fair last night to see the Queen Pageant and ride rides. Oh, and to see if I placed in any of the classes I showed in. So, did I? Yes, and even a Grand Champion. But the GC wasn't for the knitting. It was a for a cross-stitch that I gr

Yep, another day at Holiday World. Remind me to never go in July again. Too crowded. On a Wednesday even. We'll just have to go a whole bunch in May, June and September. Or once the kids are back in school the weekends in August. Wait, I have no free

To my niece. we went over to crash her impromptu birthday party today. She will be a sophomore at Purdue next year. She wore a tiara and had a pinata. Ah, to be that young again! So, I knit while visiting and doting on my SIL's new great-niece. Suc

We are going to play a little game. It's called: Can you see my graft? The way to play is to see if you can spot the grafting I did to close up the hood on the baby sweater. I didn't want to lose the cable design, so I grafted the sides together inst

It would seem that the hectic schedule I have called life these past months has caused a severe and horrible change in my behavior. I used to be so good about responding to comments from you lovely blog readers. Then something happened. I forget to b

Long Face: What happened to my Germans? They choked in the final minutes. Bah! Now I am rooting for Portugal. No French, please! Happy Face: Finished baby sweater. Yes, a 6 month size is quicker. The difference of 32 stitches does make a diffe

Starz heard the story before I left, so she knew what I was talking about. Now to explain her remark. Many years ago we had to head to JAX to pick up my brother, he was flying in for the race. We got out the map and headed North. Noticed an airplane
