Not Knitting=Bad

Thursday, 26 April 2007 7:51 A GMT-05
I have not knit a stitch in two days. I think it's been two days. Without knitting the days are running together. I have spent only a little time on the computer and it's been mainly reading. My wrist and hand feel much better. Later today I&

Must Touch Yarn

I mentioned yesterday that my thumb hurt and by the time afternoon had rolled around and I had knit a few rows my wrist was sore too. I'm guessing I over used my right hand/arm over the weekend knitting and on the computer. I decided to take a co

How I Spent My Beautiful Spring Weekend

Monday, 23 April 2007 7:46 A GMT-05
When I had a spare minute I could be found sitting here all weekend long. I got to sit on my porch, enjoy our much warmer weather and knit while I caught up on podcasts. I feel renewed.H spent time working on the garden. She was getting everything re

I've Got It!

What have I got you ask. Well, nothing really. Yes. I have nothing to show you except these buds on the Forsythia. I thought it usually bloomed by now. I tried looking back but I couldn't find a photo of it. I suppose with the warmer weather

Tofutsies Sock

Thursday, 19 April 2007 7:44 A GMT-05
So I finished the first Tofutsies sock. It's an out of my head pattern of 64 stitches knit in 3X1 ribbing until I felt like making a heel. There was some discussion on Wendy's blog (in the comments on April 17) about Tofutsies yarn. I like kn

Which Sock is Which?

I have admitted more times than I care to, uh, admit I take lousy photos. Well not really lousy, just very uncomposed with a complete lack of correct lighting. Kind of candid shots of my knits. It works pretty well with humans, not so good with yarn.

Monday Madness

Look! I finished the Horcrux socks and they fit H wonderfully. She really likes them too. The socks are the next sock in the Six Sox KAL. I knit them in Koigu color number 325 on 2.5mm needles. The color is a bit more green than it looks on my monito

It's Thursday. I'll go Random.

The first pair of fingering weight socks I knit (for H) have holes. They are poorly knit, very loose with ugly gusset decreases and a certain scratchiness that requires they be worn with thin cotton socks underneath. They are going in the t

This, That and The Other Thing

Monday, 9 April 2007 1:54 P GMT-05
We had a wonderful weekend full of family, fun, chocolate and the dyeing Easter Eggs. I probably should have taken some photos of that. For some reason I always just live my life and forget to document it. Oh well, maybe next time.I completed the fir

Another Sock

Friday, 6 April 2007 7:10 A GMT-05
The latest pattern for the Six Sox KAL was released April 1 and this pattern is no joke. I had seen the pattern in worsted weight over at Susan's and really loved it. At the time I didn't have the perfect yarn or the time to knit them. I'

Surprising

Here's the progress on the sock. There is really nothing special or unusual about this sock except the yarn of course. I am enjoying the Tofutsies yarn more and more. I am going to buy more.  Mother Nature played a late April Fools joke

Are You...

having issues with Bloglines? I can live with them being unable to get my feed. I've had that issue for a while and I know that some of the other Blog City blogs I read have the same thing happen from time to time. The most recent thing I di

A Peek Behind The Curtain

Monday, 2 April 2007 7:02 A GMT-05
As has always been my habit, I lead my life at a frantic pace always more behind than ahead. When living this way things get kind of thrown together. What I like to call making the best of things. Yesterday I had a sudden thought of planning ahead an
