Monday Morning *yawn*

I spent many hours knitting over the weekend while watching the end of the Olympics. For the most part it was very relaxing, the weekend that is. Unfortunately N kept waking up on Saturday night, ever 2 hours, all night long. I don't know if he's get

At Least I Am Now Knitting

I finally have been able to knit. I still don't feel 100% but knitting helps. The first thing I did when I picked up my needles was finish the Gladd Ragg socks that have been so close to done for over a week. The yarn is Wildfoote in color SY-06 Forg

Where Have I Been?

I wish I could say I was on an exotic tropical island or knitting with friends. I have been in bed sick with the flu. There was fever and mucus and sleep but no knitting. My sock and sweater sat by me in the hope I would feel the urge but the only ur

And We're Off

I bought the pattern. Now I've got to dig out the yarn. It's stash yarn. (I hope it works.) The stash is tucked into a large (big enough to hold a dead body) plastic bin. Taking this yarn out will create a large amount of space in the bin. Oh maybe f

Blizzard + Olympics = Knitting Time

Monday, 13 February 2006 8:31 A GMT-05
Here is the view out of my back door. We had a lovely blizzard yesterday. According to the weather we got about 12 inches of snow but in places it has drifted a bit higher. Fortunately it's the light fluffy stuff so shoveling wasn't a chore. It took

Let the Insanity Begin

I didn't knit at all last night. I had a killer headache that is threatening to return. The headache lasted all day and I was relieved that for the most part it was gone when I awoke this morning. Anyway, the Gladd Ragg sock is progressing. The Wil

Thanks and Some Drama with a Capital D

First thank you for the nice compliments on the Dublin Bay socks. I loved knitting them. I'm sure I'll knit another pair. I haven't mentioned N's hives in a while because well, they've gone away only to be seen once in January but we had some other

Socks

Monday, 6 February 2006 8:04 A GMT-05
I finished the Dublin Bay Socks over the weekend. The second sock seemed to take no time at all. The first I knit months ago. They are a fun knit and I like the way the Lorna's Laces (Newtown colorway) yarn falls in a pooling stripey way. The eye of

Boring

Look at this. Two days in a row a boring post. Please pop on over and visit Sandy. She's celebrating her 3rd Bloggyversary! Wish her a happy day! We are having one of those dark rainy days that make for really bad blog photos so I didn't bother s

Happy Groundhog Day!

Is it just me or is this week just dragging by? Yesterday I knit some more on the Dublin Bay sock. It has progressed but not enough to bother with a photo. The new Magknits is up. There are some very cute things there. Check it out. Phil saw his

Yes, There was Knitting

Why I did take this photo on my unmade bed. Every morning the little dogs like to curl up on my bed when I read my email so I don't make my bed until after they've had a little snooze. This morning I had a little sock progress to show and no good lig
