Proof

Look here's proof that I have been knitting. I finished the orange Koigu socks and they turned out beautifully. Unfortuately the photo doesn't do justice to the spectacular color of the yarn. When I first bought the yarn at the big Webs sale I hated

New Stuff!

Well we have had a wonderful busy week. Even the bit of snow we got yesterday didn't slow us down! Wednesday we took a quick trip to Foxwoods. We didn't win any money but we didn't loose much either. We had a lovely lunch at the Veranda Cafe and spen

A Good Thing

I had oodles of knitting time yesterday. It makes such a difference when there are 3 of us here to entertain N and meet his needs. I think he likes having everyone at home too. Anyway, I was able to finish the first Stashbuster Spiral sock and start

Weekend Update

Try not to look at the nastiness of the rug. This photo was taken on our porch, a room that should be removed from the house and replaced with something useful like a kitchen with a dishwasher. Anyway, there is the heel, a tiny heel, but a heel just

Oh Happy Day

I know I have mentioned here, more than once, that I love Friday. Today is an extra special Friday though. It is the Friday that marks the start of February vacation. A week off from the alarm clock. I love it!! We have little planned for the week, j

Furnace Day

We can't come to the blog right now. We are having our furnace replaced and it is much too cold in here to type or knit for that matter. Please leave a message and we will get back to you. Thank you.

Six Sox KAL

See the toe of my Stashbuster Spirals sock for the Six Sox KAL. This is the first sock. The yarn is Silja in navy, white and purple. What? You thought I wrote about a sock with a purple toe the other day. Did I? Gee, maybe I did. I have vague memorie

Life Lessons

There will be no photo of the sock today. I didn't get to do the heel. I should by now know whenever I plan to do something there is usually an interuption to said plan. Last night I did knit but I only got a few of the gusset rows done before I was

Happy Valentine's Day

In the interest of having a slightly more exciting photo of my knitting I present the stashbuster sock in the great outdoors. Actually it's hanging on the wisteria by the edge of the patio. Still better than the usual on the tablecloth photos. The pa

Friday FO

Sorry to be AFB (absent from blog) all week. I guess partly I needed a break and partly I had nothing to show. I have felt a bit of pressure to have some picture to show at least every other day or two and I had NOTHING. On a positive note I have bee

Fabulous Friday

Friday, 4 February 2005 12:36 P GMT-05
Is it odd that I love Friday as much or more than I did when I was a kid? Yesterday I said I would post some before photos of our basement. The room we are going to paint/do over is just over half of the basement. What is finished was done by the pre

I was fine yesterday. I did all the things that needed doing, fixed a lovely decent dinner and settled down to watch tv and knit. As I was working the heel, which I'll discuss shortly, I noticed a little tickle in my throat and a funny feeling in my

Bring it on!

I am so pleased that it is February! January was cold, dark and snowy. At least Feb. is starting off sunny and the days are getting longer. I guess spring will be here eventually.I knit for a while last night on the sock. I have just started the heel
