Woo hoo!

I’m off to one of my top 5 West Coast cities - Portland, Oregon!!! My friends recently moved from Maryland to Oregon and I am so excited because now I get to visit more often! (Both them and the city.)
You may not know, but besides being a haven for the very crafty, PDX is […]

TV ratings, Weeks 8 & 9, and a FO

I’m sad. Apparently Cavemen and Carpoolers are gone. No official notice that I know of, but I haven’t seen any new shows. I’m lucky I kept a couple of Cavemen on my TiVo. I wonder if it’ll ever come out on DVD, including the unaired episodes.
And since some (The Office, The Big Bang Theory) have […]

Knitting/Organizing up a storm

I’ve been doing so well with using up my least favorite yarn lately, and getting rid of UFOs right and left.
Last week I really tried to make it to Full Thread Ahead’s charity knitting afternoon, so I started a scarf out of what I thought was one of 2 skeins remaining of Pineapple Cotton Ease. […]

Writers’ Strike

Cool, according to this article I have eight more Friday Night Lights episodes to go, seven more of Cavemen and Carpoolers, and 0 of The Office and The Big Bang Theory.  After tonight’s The Office I don’t care much how long it takes to come back, but give me my FNL! I also feel like […]

“My favorite”

… is not just a quote from Kevin Henkes’ “Owen’s Marshmallow Chick”. I have a favorite Pokemon card! (And yes, I do have a copy of the card - I kept it from one of my kids’ decks because it spoke to me).

His name is Mareep. Isn’t he cute? He evolves into Flaffy, who is […]

TV Ratings, Week 7

I almost wish I was back in school (no, 5 years wasn’t enough for my MA ) since we’ve got the writer’s strike going on. I would love to study what is going on during the strike (will more people go to the Internet, movies, etc. rather than TV since there may […]

I did it again.

Well, my Sally Melville’s “Where’s the Opaque? Sweater” went from this:

to this:

a lot of knit stitches, and I realized that I wasn’t sure I was going to wear a glorified short poncho (Sally Melville’s Knit-Round Scarf), so I picked up one of my other books (this one I’ve used before, and will definitely keep), Anne […]

More Melville

A couple of weeks ago I started Sally Melville’s “Where’s the Opaque? Sweater” with Cascade 220 and 220 Superwash. I knit and knit, through two movies, and a lot of TV. This weekend I started the sheer part of the sweater and I finally decided it was just not working out. Here […]

TV ratings, Week 6

I might have just missed them, but it seemed like a lot of shows were on hiatus for the Halloween “break”. Luckily, my favorites were still on!
1) This was a hard decision, but Friday Night Lights is my pick for this week. They spent the first 45 min. getting back to what […]
