One step forward
Tuesday, 28 December 2004 9:39 A GMT-05
I spent time last night working on N's aran. I got a sleeve all the way in and decided it looked lousy so I took it out and did it again. It looked better but not perfect by a mile. I only have one more sleeve and if I can get it in like the other on
Post Christmas Post
Monday, 27 December 2004 2:37 P GMT-05
These are my knitting related gifts. H gave me the red Cascade Fixation and my husband gave me the book. Both are wonderful. I also got a gift certificate for Fabric Place which I will use to buy yarn or a book. Overall we had a great Christmas. N wa

The stockings were hung
Friday, 24 December 2004 11:54 A GMT-05
Yeah, and all that. We're ready to go. The only thing left is fixing the stuffing and cleaning the turkey. I'll give the kitchen a quick going over once that's all done. My parents will arrive in the morning around 8ish I imagine. We'll open the gift
Just ignore it
Thursday, 23 December 2004 4:11 P GMT-05
OK I'm ignoring the runny nose and the sore throat. Fortunately the headache is gone but now I am developing a cough. H is coughing too. She's a good 3 or 4 days ahead of me. The cough gets nasty. Anyway, baking is done, cleaning is mostly done and l
Denial
Wednesday, 22 December 2004 12:42 P GMT-05
The title says it all. I have a headache that's throbbing. My nose keeps dripping and my throat feels icky. I do not have time for a cold or anything else really. I have too much to do including baking and cooking and cleaning and child care and maki
A Special Gift
Tuesday, 21 December 2004 9:39 A GMT-05
Yesterday I got an unexpected Christmas card in the mail and was overcome. Four or five years ago I lost touch with a long distance friend and have missed her. I feel badly that I didn't attempt to reach out to her sooner and at the same time I am o
Photo Zone
Monday, 20 December 2004 12:40 P GMT-05
After going quite a while without any photos on my blog I find myself thinking a lot about what I can take photos of to include here. Normally I have one every few days but today there are a few. First up we have a photo of our Christmas tree. It's a
Happy Birthday to Me
Sunday, 19 December 2004 1:48 P GMT-05
First things first, here are the completed beaded socks for the Six Sox KAL. The yarn is Silja and I used size 2 US needles. They came out nice and I am glad I am done. One more thing, I managed to get a photo at a good sun time so the color is fairl

Night Blogging
Saturday, 18 December 2004 6:59 P GMT-05
Well, this is a new one for me I think. I am blogging after dark. I have blogged on dark days but never as my bedtime approaches. Forgive me if this is disjointed as I am tired and my thoughts are scattered. I imagine my spelling may suffer also.The
Finally Friday!
Friday, 17 December 2004 1:27 P GMT-05
Well I don't know about you but I am thrilled that today is Friday. I have a regular Friday night routine that I am looking forward to. After dinner and getting N into bed I get into bed, watch TV and knit. I pretty much do this most nights but Frida
New Stuff!
Thursday, 16 December 2004 1:07 P GMT-05
Today we went to a new yarn shop! We were in Rowley buying candy for Christmas gifts and since we had time and were so close to Newburyport we drove up to Three Bags Full. It's an easy to find (right downtown!) lovely shop. The shop itself is spacio
It's only Wednesday...
Wednesday, 15 December 2004 1:04 P GMT-05
Look a fairly accurate photo of the bead socks for the Six Sox KAL. I was able to finish the ribbing and do the beaded section while watching TV last night. The yarn I'm using is Silja in color number 393. I am using size 2.75 mm needles. These socks
Super Duper Secret
Tuesday, 14 December 2004 1:01 P GMT-05
I can trust you right? Promise you won't tell. I can't risk this getting around because I know that will be the end. You know how it is. Things happen. If it's mentioned then things don't happen the same again. You promise, right? Whatever you do, p
Merry Monday
Monday, 13 December 2004 1:06 P GMT-05
Here is the beaded sock with all but the toe completed. The color isn't right. It is much more purple and NOT pink. We are having yet another dull cloudy day here so photos are lousy. I have decided that if I have these socks finished before Christma
Another day....
Friday, 10 December 2004 3:00 P GMT-05
I spent a few more hours on the beaded sock. I have completed the ankle and have just started the heel. If I can have them done I think I'll give them to my mother for Christmas. She'd wash them by hand and they are something she'd wear so I think th
RIP
Thursday, 9 December 2004 1:42 P GMT-05
Yes, I did rip the sock out. I did it before I read the comments, sorry. I probably should have left well enough alone. I haven't gotten back to knitting either. Things have been busy. I am looking forward to Survivor and CSI tonight so I can just si
Whoa
Tuesday, 7 December 2004 10:50 A GMT-05
Let's see. It's a dark rainy day, yeah, another one. I did manage to get a lousy photo of my bead sock for the Six Sox KAL. The yarn is Silja in purple and the beads are kind of purple with gold and green. The photo lies. After trying a few ways of
Rush
Monday, 6 December 2004 1:19 P GMT-05
I feel like I am in such a rush. All the time. Here is the photo of the stocking hat. No it isn't blue even though it looks blue. It's the same twilight green yarn as S's hat . It was getting late when I finshed the tassel so I hurried to get a quic
A Quickie
Saturday, 4 December 2004 9:40 A GMT-05
I am nearly finished with the toddler stocking cap. It's very cute. I will take a photo when it's done. I can't decide about the tassel. Should I put one or a pompom? I don't like making either really. They always look lopsided. Maybe I'll go with th
Never mind
Friday, 3 December 2004 10:46 A GMT-05
I was going to complain today about my lack of RSS feed on Bloglines but it fixed itself during the night so never mind.I finished the hat for S last night. It came out fine. No photo since I just showed it nearly done yesterday. Imagine the top fini
Returning to Normal
Thursday, 2 December 2004 12:06 P GMT-05
Well, we are returning to normal here. Or actually as normal as we usually are. N just has a fat lip and is now eating salty things without whining. I think he has missed his favorite pretzels in the afternoon. He's also back to his regular nap. Yest
