What happened?

Tuesday, 22 July 2008 3:08 P GMT-05
Where have I been? Actually, at home and all around town. Wish I could say that I haven't had time to blog, but that really isn't true. Just haven't had desire. This week in my life:I judged the open class in Household Arts at the Fa

I'm Home

Sunday, 13 July 2008 3:51 P GMT-05
About 5 days earlier than planned, but completely happy to be here! We found our Hubster was not going to New York this week, as planned, and decided to head home to see him. With him gone there wouldn't have been much reason to come home. But we

Well, we are in Daytona. But the journey here was along one. We left Evansville at 4:25, a little later than planned, but still in time to make it. Horrible weather through most of GA and parts of FL made for rough driving. Finally arrived in Orlando

I am not smarter than Einstein. Happily knitting away on the left front, I forgot to do the buttonholes! So I will drop back on the edge and do 3 buttonholes as I knit back up. I don't even have to undo the edge sts, the buttonholes are done 5 st

Are you as smart as Einstein?

Monday, 23 June 2008 10:17 A GMT-05
Einstein can't whip me. Especially when it's a baby Einstein. I can outwit that baby with little effort. See: We will be doing an Einstein KAL at the shop this fall, so I need to get this baby done ASAP. And it's quite easy when you do th

Just so I wouldn't forget what it's like, I grabbed a quick knit project the other night. Elder had a double header, Younger was spending the night elsewhere, so I was free to sit and knit once the heat of the day passed by. I was fortunate t

We split the evening

Double header. Lost first game 11-4, won the 2nd 11-2. So in the end we had the better night. Elder got 5 hits tonight, so she is consistently hitting 2-3 times a game. She doesn't always make it to base, but on average she gets there 50% of the

My before and after shots. Before I went to the fiber fest I got these skeins: The left isn't that pink, more purply. The right isn't that red, more burgundy.  And I got these at the fest:     But not all of these are mine

Actually we drove, just had to avoid the water. My teaching gig in Franklin, IN * was plagued by a severe thunderstorm that raged for the entire morning, finally lightening up when I was done. Do you know how hard it is to teach when the rain on the

The knitting, however, is not. I knit one night during our Houston trip. The girls and I watched National Treasure 2, so I knit on the sweater. But nothing during the trip home. And now that we are home it's been run run, or sun sun. Sunning and

Or something like that. I have a panel to show you. One that I have been knitting on a long way! It actually took me 2 nights to get this far. Considering I knit it twice! I started this Wednesday and it was a quick knit. It was about 13" long.
