Lets start with the knitting. I completed the Coronet hat which is the third and final gift for the teachers/guidance counselor who wrote H's recommendations for college. The yarn is Paton's Classic Wool in bright red. It took less than a ske

No Knitting

Between the car, H's exams (half days and me doing lots of driving) and the husband working 12 hour days I haven't had time to knit. In my two minutes here and three minutes there I have been reading this and this. They are good boo

So what do you think?

Look another hat! This is the start of Coronet from Knitty. I really like this pattern a lot. It is something that I would wear. It's for whichever teacher H decides should have it. The yarn is Paton's Classic Wool in bright red. It's my

These are like potato chips. I bet you can't knit just one! This one is black with a little white sparkly bit at the bottom. It makes me think of a "formal" look! Car update: We're still waiting to hear from the adjuster but so far

After a week of extra long work days the husband rushed home from work on Saturday to take H to field hockey. On the way, when crossing a busy street in a place where the cross streets aren't across from each other, a pickup truck backed into the

So yesterday was one of those days. All plans were cast aside while everything just went haywire. My mother called in the morning to say she had no heat and was waiting for the oil burner repairman to arrive. After his first visit and the scheduling

Back to the Land of the Living

Kind of actually. I have been sick for a month. On and off really. Lately mainly on. I'm sure I have a sinus infection and I can't take it anymore so I am off to the doctor this afternoon. Unfortunately my doctor and the nurse practitioner I

As I suspected I am just talking to myself here. Thanks Sheep for the confirmation. I think it's a blog city problem so I'll email them tomorrow if things aren't better.I finished the fingerless gloves yesterday. There are a pair in that

Hats all the time. Yup. Once I get that second fingerless glove done I'll be working on nothing but hats. It's kind of sad and twisted that I am looking forward to knitting these. The main thing with them is once I've knit one I am d

I was digging though and attempting to wrangle the stash and discovered that I have an extra issue of the winter 2004  Interweave knits. I'm more than happy to send it to whoever is interested. Just leave a comment with your email

When I finished the Chain Link socks I knew I had only one more thing in the WIP knitting bag. It was the striped socks I started in the fall. And now they are done. They are a cobbled together set of things I felt like doing at the time. J

Happy New Year!!On Sunday I completed the Chain Link socks, the current sock for the Six Sox KAL. They are my final FO of 2006. I knit them on my favorite size 1 metal Skacel needles with Lang Jawoll yarn. They were a fun fairly quick knit and they f
