I hear there’ll be time to sleep when we die. So is it so wrong of me that even though I am seriously sleep deprived and clinically depressed, I want to stay up just to finish my OSW? I picked up many stitches and am working on the one inch of ribbing, so I […]
So.much.work.so.little.time. Yet I did get some work on my OSW done today. After all, since I’m a full-time mom I have to spend at least 3 hours a day at the park. And one of my “friends” (I also like to think of them as “coworkers”.) was asking when I would get […]
Okay I give up. I may have to go back into ponchos considering I’m not that comfortable wearing them. I am going back on what I said about the new IK staff project and just may have to make the mini-poncho and hip-to-be square poncho. Now if I can just find a […]
Knitpicks is just killing me! Like I really need any more knitting books, but I just got their catalog in the mail and found at least 2 more books I want to buy! Then I get their email and they have added patterns — of course the pattern I have to make, The Virginia […]

I’m famous! Well, sort of. I got my latest issue of Knitter’s Review and my innocent stash question started off the latest poll question! I am so honored!

Like I needed another project! At least my One Skein Wonder is in wool so I can use it in the fall, since that’s when I’ll finish it. I liked my Kool-Aid dyed Brown Sheep wool so much I decided to make Ann Budd’s Popcorn Shrug out of it, to showcase the dyeing. […]
What? No posting today? It’s not like I didn’t sit around and read blogs as usual. I guess I got distracted by untangling yarn. My 1st and 2nd skein of Kool-Aid dyeing is done. I need to take a picture tomorrow. I re-dyed “watermelon” and it is very slightly darker, a […]
