Well, one personal goal finished this weekend — I just Kitchenered my Love socks. I am going to lightly felt them, but they’re done and wearable now!
Now I’ve got 9 more rows on my Katrina Rib and 10 more minutes before bed! I can try, but I’m not promising anything.
Tomorrow: more work on my [...]

I’ve been religiously checking the blogs of people I know doing the Knitting Olympics and so far no updates! I’m so disappointed! Here’s mine — so, after attempting to start a new pair of socks about three times and failing miserably, I finally (after the buzzer, of course) decided on my KO 2006 project, [...]

It’s about that time … for some reason I have been not feeling myself today and not really interested in casting on for a new project. I know, blasphemy. In any case, I did …
Of course I didn’t have a size 1 circular needle, and my LYS didn’t either when I handed in [...]

I’m not just buying yarn these days.
I love Elsebeth Lavold’s Viking Knits so much! Now if I only had some knitting time for me! I stopped by my LYS today to give her a progress report since I had said I would finish my shawl by tomorrow, but of course I’m barely [...]

I can’t wait for this week to end! I’m still sick after a couple of weeks, I’ve been trying in vain to study for my broker’s test but there is just so much tv — you need a 70 to pass and I’m up to 65 on my latest sample test so we’ll see [...]
