I ***need*** Showtime

So we had a Showtime preview this weekend.  I may have mentioned that we have HBO, because when we moved in we were addicted to the Sopranos, Sex and the City, Six Feet Under, and Real Time.  Since that time three of those four shows have been cancelled, and I’ve become uninterested in HBO.  BR […]

TV ratings

Well, after finally catching up a bit on premiere week, here are my ratings for the new/returning shows, on a scale of 1-5 dpns (I do knit occasionally ):

Shark: 2 out of 5 dpns; I like the movement of Jeri Ryan’s character to more of an associate rather than supervisory role in the […]

Pam Anderson

Pam and Jim! Woo hoo!

Crocheting away ….

I want to post every day, I swear. And I have tons to show off, but I am so lazy when it comes to taking pictures, downloading, manipulating, and uploading said pictures. I guess I can never become a famous blogger since I’m not a professional photographer and don’t plan to become one.
But […]

Break’s (almost*) over!

(*oh yeah, we haven’t seen Jon Reep win on Last Comic Standing yet, have we?!)
(ETA: Did I call it or what?!  Congratulations Jon! You are hilarious!)
I really was just starting to get bored with the 5 minute break between the summer TV season and the fall TV season, and then K-Ville was on last night […]

Eating bonbons

It’s finally happened. After 8 years of being a stay at home mom, I’m officially a “housewife”. That is, all the kids are in school full time, so you know I’m sitting at home all day eating bonbons
Actually, technically I’m job hunting but so far no bites. We have so […]

Damn it!

So I spent all day making a crocheted edge for my supposedly 60″ long Red Scarf, ended it and found out it’s nowhere near 60″, like I thought originally!  I’m very very tempted to just be done and finish it at the 51″ it currently is (and I frogged back maybe a foot, too!)  What […]

D’oh!

So I was bringing my Red Scarf 2 out for photographs when I realized d’oh, I’m actually done! I had thought I needed to make it longer, but it’s over 60 inches right now so I am done! I’m going to make an edging like my last one, but the length is done. I’ve […]

Help!

I need a yarn intervention. I literally got two packages full of yarn today (and one on Saturday) from destashing and a purchase I made weeks ago in a sleep-deprived haze (I’m not sure why it took so long, but oh well.) but I still want to buy this:

It’s from Keep On Knitting […]

Cr*chet

I’m beginning to share Shannon’s dislike for crochet. I like the stitches well enough and I like making them, but constantly picking up stitches and holding the yarn in my left hand is giving me carpal tunnel syndrome. Not to mention I can’t keep “gauge” (that is, my supposedly straight scarf looks like […]
