I have so much to report, but it has been nonstop since we got back from NYC and I don’t have any time to even find my camera, much less download photos. So I’m back to movie reviews as I’ve seen quite a few lately.
On the airplane to NYC we saw “Definitely, Maybe” which was […]
I’m really on a roll with my song title titles these days! I’m sure there are some sock-related songs I could find, but for some reason I could only think of this Frank Zappa song right now.
I’m T-12 hours before we travel across the country with 3 kids, so I thought I’d show off one […]
I have been on fire lately. A couple of weeks ago I went to Yarn Paper Scissors (my new favorite LYS)’ “Crafty Girls” night, which is once a month with different crafts. I guess I thought it was a class, but it’s really a theme, where girls get together, have Sibby’s Cupcakes
and are […]
I know you didn’t think I could do it, but I finished my 2 Deco-Ribbon bags for the cute twins in IM and OR’s class just in time for their birthday party this weekend. It took less than 2 balls of Dale of Norway Heilo in a nice hot pink, and along with some […]
Not literally, as I’m using wool, but aargh!!!
I was done with my sweater. I had sewn in the ends. I went into my yarn closet looking for 2 buttons, and alas, one more ball of Knit Picks Palette!!!! I was so happy to be done with this sweater and this yarn, and now […]
I really hope I’ll be back at full speed soon - I spent three days of last week laid up with some virus, before that getting through the “big wedding” I had been dreading for months (it went okay, I was surprised), two birthdays, and lots of work.
Meanwhile, I had been knitting, just not taking […]

I *finally* finished my mittens I started “last year” for my friend. I made one, then I got motivated to do other things, and I finally finished a second. Of course it has the same problem many of my mittens have, that it’s too small:
but at least it’s done and a pair. […]
Well, not really. I didn’t have that much yarn left over from a 50-60 yard skein of Montana, but I did make two “hand warmers” that actually fit, but don’t cover the parts of my hands that actually get cold. They’re a fashion accessory, like Madonna wore, right?
Next up I’m finishing the second […]
As you might remember, I have been at the movie theater 5 times in the past couple of weeks:
Sweeney Todd
Juno
Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story
Charlie Wilson’s War
The Pirates Who Don’t Do Anything
and of course at the movies you need knitting, right? Stockinette knitting? So of course I had to start a new project. […]
