Knitting

Knitting is happening…

Occasionally, or as often as I can find a way to fit it in, knit happens. I finished the other pair of socks I was working on, except for sewing in the ends and writing up the directions. They actually came out pretty nice — more on them later in another post. So, I bought […]

A Wish for French Girl Knits: Innovative Techniques, Romantic Details, and Feminine Designs

Okay, this is not a science or geek post so those of you not interested in the art and craft of knitting or fibery goodness can move along. But I knit. I’m working on about six projects now. Yeah, I’m flighty and I knit with the mood. I’m nearly done with some socks I’ve been […]

January Coffee Cup & stuff….

Finally, got my act together enough to do a blog post. It’s been a heck of a week starting last Thursday when I appeared to be coming down with a cold. Then came the weather changes and the migraines to put the cherry on top. The last two days I’ve actually felt human again and […]

Happy Birthday to me…

Today is November 14th, and it’s my birthday. Not a great event in the scheme of things but it is a time when I usually reflect on what I’ve done over the past year and think about what I plan to do in the coming year. To me birthdays are more like new beginnings than […]

Congrats Pres-Elect Obama/Knitting content, winter cold-flu-thingy

Well, it’s been a wonderful day for me. I stayed up last night until after Obama gave his speech. I thought it was extremely well said — spurring the nation on to the work that must be done over the next several years. McCain’s concession speech was also very well done — I think if […]
