Tolerance
Wednesday, 28 November 2007 9:23 A GMT-05
I am one of those people with a very low tolerance. It doesn't matter what it is: cold, heat, lack of sleep, stupidity. I know this is genetic. It runs in my father's family. We have a very low threshold before we lose it. I try very hard to

Every Spare Moment

Every now and then my obsessiveness works for me instead of against me. In this case it's the sweater. When I find myself with a few minutes I grab it and knit. It's the perfect excuse to sit down and eat lunch, sit down and have a cup of tea

This is the first sleeve of the Must Have Cardigan in it's still unblocked state. As you probably forget since it's been a while since I mentioned it, the yarn is Ella Rae in a taupe shade (more brown than the dark gray shown in the photo). I
Happy Thanksgiving!

This is the time of year when people look at their life and give thanks for the things they are truly thankful for. Since I have cooking and cleaning and laundry to do and my mother is arriving in a few short hours and she expects things like beds to

N is officially a citizen of the United States, again. Not really again, more like in the view of yet another governmental agency. He really officially truly became a US citizen when his adoption was finalized in 2004. This morning we made our way to

Not too bad. Some is accurate, some not so much.Visit with H went well after a travel hiccup. Her friends are nice, polite and heavy on the geeky. Just like her, except maybe the polite thing. There was much computer talk and engineering talk. I

If you're here for the knitting you can move along. I knit for a while last night but not enough to bother with a photo. Hopefully there will be great progress during my wee bit of leisure time over the weekend and post a photo Monday. Enjoy your
I Am A Selfish Knitter
Thursday, 15 November 2007 8:55 A GMT-05
Guess what I worked on yesterday? YES! The Must Have Cardigan sleeve. After leaving this to sit while I completed the wristers and worked on the sock I had forgotten how fun it is to knit something intricate. It took a few rows to get back into the s
Strange Affinity

In the past I have mentioned how my favorite color is blue but I like to wear gray. Nothing explains the attraction I have felt for lime green lately. This is the Oc-toe-ber sock in Tofutsies color number 741. The color of the yarn is most accur

When I was a small child my parents kept our house very warm in the winter. I can remember never wearing a sweater or even slippers or socks on the coldest days. During the energy crisis of the late 70's my parents lowered the temperature on the

Thanks for the help with the left twist. I haven't knit a stitch but I think I have it figured out. Knitting will happen later today. FYI there is a Yahoo Group for the Tofutsies Club yarn. I joined since I am a joiner. Will I participate? Probab

Don't worry in the end the tale of the heel is happy. See the Trekking 100 socks are done. The pattern is the one I keep in my head but with an after thought heel.You know how I have this rule about not kitchenering at night. Well I do but I
Happy Tuesday Beth

I have nothing for you today. Last night I did nearly complete the first heel on the Trekking 100 socks. I tried them on and they're a bit big. Not huge, just extra roomy. Once they are both done I'll decide if they are mine or H's.
Finally Finished

I finally finished my RPM socks last night and kitchenered the toe this morning. I'm so happy with these socks. They are knit with Sunshine yarn in the Taos colorway. I got the yarn from the Sisterhood of the Traveling Stash box. I used a hint I
