My computer is still dead, so I have my camera now and my knitting but I can’t wave the Harry Potter wand my dad made for DL and make the photos move, darn!
Since I’m in the Second Sock Syndrome Swap and the sock is due on Sept. 30, I’m working feverishly on it. My pal […]

I also recorded a couple more and was represented by asking questions at the Videoblogging and Mandy Moore ones. I’ll put up […]

You’re not going to believe this. First I lose access to my camera printer. Then I lose my camera. And now I’ve lost my knitting!
I brought it to Bobaknit on Thursday and finished off the two skeins I was using, so I was ready to start the handle with my last skein and then […]

Guess what? Now my camera is missing! DL and I spent an afternoon yesterday beading (yes, he loves making rings and bracelets for his friends) and I wanted to take a picture, but I couldn’t find my camera! So much for blogging, I guess.
I did make some cute stitch markers (imagine cute silver heart shaped […]

This sucks! BR just updated his computer because it kept crashing, but he didn’t attach the printer, so I can’t get any photos from my camera to my computer! And I even have an F.O.!
Remember that blob of purple yarn? Well it has now finally (after a lot of tinkering with the handle) become a […]

I finally got a few knit stitches done today after 3 or 4 days of untangling my purple yarn! What is with me? I am constantly getting things tangled and spending more time on that than actually knitting. The good news is that I should be done with my bag in a day or so. […]

I’ve been bad.
I tried a new knitting group on Thursday and most of the people in attendance work at one of my LYSs that I used to shop at a lot. They had a great “odd ball basket” and I would stop by just to get a skein here and there. Then they moved […]
