What again?

I had an entire entry done last night, to post today. I hit save and publish and got an error message. Because I can deny the obvious I hit back and saw that it was gone. And in keeping with the denial I checked the home page thingie where all the hi

Whatever it takes

Blog City has done another update and left me in the dust. I have to learn their new stuff again and I hadn't finished learning the old new stuff yet. Oh crap. I can't even get the photo where I want it. It's going to be that kind of day I guess. We

Living at the Speed of Light

Sunday my mother called to tell me that my aunt, my father's oldest sister, was in the hospital. The details were limited and confusing. Wednesday morning she passed away. She had Alzheimer's disease and had reached the advanced stages. My father was

It's Been Forever...

since I posted anything here. N has been a challenge to say the least. First, the hives continue. We thought we knew what it was: soy, but now who knows. It probably is more than one thing. He's been soy free for most of this past week and today aft

It's Never Easy

Wednesday, 16 November 2005 8:04 A GMT-05
So I was all excited yesterday to have found the yarn to knit the gauntlets for H. The Knit-Shop called back. Sorry, no mill blue. CRAP. (I cancelled the entire order and felt bad doing it but hey, I need it all or none.) That is the color no one has

Look at that, just as I promised, a lousy photo of the sock in progress. Well it's a dark rainy day and I suppose a lousy photo is better than none. I am knitting a pair of socks for Spot N. This one sock is taking forever on my size 2.5 mm needles.

In My Next Life...

I will be a better photographer. My mother is a pretty good photographer. She shows concern for the background along with the subject matter. Me, not so much. I want to highlight the subject matter, in this case, the hat. H's hat. It is a Nippertails

Post FO Funk

Tuesday, 8 November 2005 8:41 A GMT-05
Lately there have been a number of fun FOs flying off the needles. Now I am in a funk. What to knit. What to knit. I have casted on for a pair of socks for N. They are navy blue with a light blue fleck. Kind of tweedy. As far as knitting goes they ar

Fuzzy Feet Finito

Sunday, 6 November 2005 2:46 P GMT-05
I finally got my act together and completed the knitting of the Fuzzy Feet. Ignore the messy knitting and gaping holes. I am. Gauge was, um, way off. As in 4 sts per inch instead of the 3 sts per inch the pattern suggested. These were huge. The husba

Lather Rinse Repeat

Friday, 4 November 2005 8:48 A GMT-05
So I ripped the heel on my Fuzzy Feet again and I'm ready to give it another go. This time I shall not be so fussy. Felting will solve whatever mess I leave. Attempt number 4 will be fine. (Attempt number three was ripped due to a missing stitch an

One Down

Wednesday, 2 November 2005 9:21 A GMT-05
One to go. A while back I was looking for something to knit and I happened on the shoelace idea in an old issue of Interweave Knits. H finally brought home her Chucks when she cleaned out her field hockey locker. I needed the sneakers to determine th

Swatch

First things first. Here is N in his Dragon costume. He had such a good time trick or treating. Repeatedly he told everyone he was wearing his "costune" and he was a "fairy". We have no idea where he got that from. You are seein
