somewhere around.
Photos are on the computer, but not in FlickR yet. And the busy continues.
I finished the lovely blue cardigan socks! Wore them immediately. Hope to get a picture of them on the clothesline tomorrow.
Started mittens for the Kid for our very short trip to find snow.
I read a pretty good book the other day. [...]
Woops! Nothing knit since Monday. I need to decide how to do the decreases on the beret…
Tuesday evening wasted in reading instead of cooking or playing or knitting or cleaning. Not a problem, but I stayed up to late to finish a book - Sex as a Second Language which is pretty good. Maybe chick [...]
I spent a lot of my computer time Sunday adding another cubby of yarns to Ravelry. I’m excruciatingly honest - even the remnants are going in! But if it’s on the needles, even hibernating, it’s not. Probably because I can’t see it and I don’t know where it is.
I had a blast [...]
Such a cool place. I can read books without paying for them! I knew this before. We were great library users growing up, but I’m addicted to having my own books, so it was easy to forget.
I can reserve books online! They’ll email me when they come in to whichever branch [...]
The green sweater is almost done. I can almost touch it! A finished sweater! Maybe by the end of October, I’ll be able to wear it. Thanksgiving, almost definitely.
Both sleeves are knit and hemmed.
I’m knitting down the body, and increased a little to accomodate, ah, the hips (or my butts as the Kid says), because [...]
said it so well.
A thought went up my mind to-day
That I have had before,
But did not finish,- some way back,
I could not fix the year.
Nor where it went, nor why it came
The second time to me,
Nor definitely what it was,
Have I the art to say.
But somewhere in my soul, I know
I’ve met the thing before;
It [...]
but I’m not pulling it out. Work is kicking my butts, all of them. So much charting and closing to catch up! I feel inadequate and dismal, not up to the necessary work. Why, yes, I am scared of hard work.
But who wants to hear it? Certainly not me! I’d rather read something. Too bad [...]
Maybe Tuesday last week, I spoke briefly with a friend of mine. We were comparing our schedules and finding out we’d actually be at the same place at the same time Sunday! Then she mentioned they’re celebrating her husband’s birthday Saturday. They’re both my very good friends, even if I haven’t had a chance to [...]
Catch up photo time!
Mom wanted to see what I came home with from the Knitting Basket sale. To recap: Barbara Walker, Lady Gainford’s Designs for Knitting Kilt Hose and Knickerbocker Stockings, Kidsilk Haze, Colinette Jitterbug sock yarn, Koigu KPPM in a colour I’ve been coveting for months but leaving on the shelves, Habu natural dyed [...]
We have a lovely cluster of four reddish brown hens. They make happy low chuckling murmurs, a treat for my citified ears. The rabbit seems intrigued, but is witholding judgement.
I want to start something. I started a cotton chenille washcloth (Mason Dixon Washcloth from Mason Dixon Knitting), but I’m not thrilled with it. I should [...]
