Or what happens when I arrive at sleeve island. I completed the body of the navy cardigan over the weekend. Now it is time to start the sleeves. All I have to knit is 2 sleeves, the button bands and the neck and I'll have a wearable sweater. Nice

Slow But Steady Progress

Can you see a difference? After spending hours knitting on this sock I have finally finished the foot, knit the waste yarn in for where the heel will be and started the leg. I have high hopes that the leg will go quickly. I have tentative plans to sk

Since I have nothing for you today we shall revisit a project from the past. After 7 weeks of eating rabbit food healthy I have lost 15 lbs. Yesterday I entertained the idea that maybe Ribby would fit. I went into the disaster that is H's room an

Last night we were quietly watching TV when we caught a little something happening outside. The team came by and decorated since today is the last home game. Tomorrow is the last game, ever, with this team. Yesterday when the husband drove H and her

During daylight hours I have been knitting on the Iris Garden sock. It is coming along very s-l-o-w-l-y. I made a mistake on the other side and I didn't take it out. I couldn't. I didn't have it in me. I had completed the gray and bl

Thank you all so much for the advice on the Iris Garden sock. I hate to give up when I know I can do it if I just try a little harder. The first thing I did was go up a needle size. These are size 1 1/2 and except for the dullish point

Weekend Knitting Frustration

Monday, 16 October 2006 6:54 A GMT-05
It all started on Friday night. I tucked myself into bed once N was asleep and got back to work on Fetching. The Debbie Bliss cashmerino aran must have lulled me into a false sense of security. I knit away happily amd suddenly I realized that I was r

Yesterday was one of those days. You know, you go out to buy a few things. You have a list. I went to Fabric Place. I wanted just one skein of Debbie Bliss cashmerino aran. When did they stop carrying Debbie Bliss yarn? Obviously I haven't been t

Let me say that this post will be all over the place. Put on your seatbelt because it's going to be a wild ride.Have you seen these books? Cute overload I tell you. The clothing patterns are for ages 2-5. Even if you don't have children that

I finally buckled down and finished knitting the Branching Out Scarf. I knit it with most of 2 skeins of Rowan Linen Drape. It took me months and months to knit but only because I set it aside and worked on anything else but it. The pattern is very e

The next sock in the Six Sox KAL is a Turkish style knit with two skeins of yarn. I am trying to knit from the stash since we are facing the bill for putting Riley back together. These are my options. I am very bad with limited choices. I need help.

Totally Random Friday

Let's start with the knitting shall we. I have been in the mood for some soothing garter stitch and these Bear Paw mittens have been just the ticket. The construction is inventive and the knitting is simple. I so hope N will wear these this winte

I am having a hard time concentrating. Why have schools become a place of violence? Since Columbine there have been too many shootings at schools. Of course, one is too many. Now someone has killed little girls in PA. What is our world coming to

KAL Mania

Monday, 2 October 2006 7:56 A GMT-05
I have been a KAL joining fool lately. I read about this KAL and just had to join. I have a few lonesome skeins and really could use to knit up a few quick gifts. This is a match made in heaven. Over the weekend I went for a swim in the stash an
