Good morning!
Friday, 30 September 2005 8:19 A GMT-06
And how is life treating you today? I hope it's giving you all the best. Life here is cool and sunny, my favorite type of weather. Cool enough for a sweater at some point, and warm enough for short sleeves. It has me thinking of all kinds of sweaters

Elder went off to wait for the bus today in her matching fingerless mitts. And since the weather took a dip last night, it was timely for me to get the 2nd one done yesterday. Now to wait for Younger's request when she gets home today. I am sure it's

Still Shining

Maybe I should take a picture of it. Sunshine makes me happy. But rain isn't all bad. It gives me a good reason to stay snug in the house, knitting. What more could a girl ask for?So, the knitting. Not much going on. I had a busy morning and then sp
The sun is shining!

Didn't think we would see it today. Haven't seen it since Saturday. Rain was the norm all day yesterday and over cast seemed to be in store today. But the sun is casting shadows on my blinds, wonder how long it will last?Spent a busy and lazy weekend

I guess I am supposed to pass this along? OK, I will tag Kristi and Lea, who both need to keep up with the blog posting! Oh, Kristi did post recently.

Where has the time gone?
Tuesday, 20 September 2005 12:53 P GMT-06
Down the mitten path, evidently. It's all mittens, all the time right now. I am getting closer to having the pattern lay out done and now the test knitting begins. The 4st/1" ones are done, it's the 6st/7st/1" that I am fearing. It will tak

I had a post going, but you know those posts, sometimes they just can't behave! Oh well. As I was saying, before I was so rudely cut off.Mittens are on my mind lately. Not only did I purchase the Folk Mitten book this week, I also have been knitting

Wow, it's amazing how much you get done if you knit like a fiend and avoid all the other things in life. Like laundry, dusting, etc... Too bad I can't get out of cooking too. But at least tonight I will try! Planning on running by to grab my Dad to t
Good day all

I hope your day has started off well. Mine started at the early hour today so I could get the daughter to school for Spell Bowl. Looking forward to November when the early morning ritual stops. Looking forward to November because my calendar, so far,
Monday rundown

I could either being running down the list of things to do today, or it could be the list of things to do today will run me down! Monday was supposed to be my least busy day this school semester. Not happening this month. But it will be a fun day wit
Can it be the scarves are losing favor?

You would think it, knowing that I knit this in the last day and a half. Through a soccer game, making dinner and 2 late night knittings.Sirdar sweater pattern #1562 (this sample is the green version) and Tiny Tots yarn. St st up to beginning of a
Scarf Motel

Well, we still have 3 in residence. Ms Rib is just taking her time in being done. 4.5 hours, yes, .5 hours over their estimation, and I am only at 39". That's 15" short of the goal and already over the budget. I am thinking this will end up
Moving into Scarf City
Wednesday, 7 September 2005 8:06 A GMT-06
Just when one citizen moves out, another moves in! But it's OK, I don't expect her to stay long. Maybe it should be Scarf Motel instead of City. This is the Mistake Rib Scarf from Last Minute Knitted Gifts. Noro Silk Garden in #'s 205 and 228. This s
Tuesday already
Tuesday, 6 September 2005 6:46 A GMT-06
Yes, it's Tuesday and it came very early this morning! 6:30 AM early. Dear Elder starts the Spell Bowl practices and they come 3 times a week. Twice in the 0-dark-thirty morning hours. Will I survive this? I am so not a morning person. I am not even

Scarf City is losing citizens. One <!-- Script Size: 0.73 KB -->moved out today. But it's OK, it isn't moving far. I can actually visit it 3 times a week. Shop samples, how I miss them. Well, now to pour my attention into Tango and Cash Twi

I never got bit by the scarf craze. Had no desire to knit scarves. My first real knit project was a baby sweater, Fair Isle in Cotton yarn. I didn't need no stinkin' scarf. My how the "mighty" (in my mind only) have fallen. Then came 2005.
My world...

...seems to have gotten very busy lately. When did this happen? I am just trying to figure out how to pack all of it in today. First comes work, then run home to get the girls ready to go swimming at their cousin's, then run out to get a license plat
