…or, “How they get you”.
I can’t believe it’s been 2 weeks since we went to New York City! I can barely get my head above water since I have 3 kids in very little camp, and lots of work! I have been knitting regularly, though.
We had a very nice trip, where I brought one […]
Remember way back when when I went to Portland? Yes, I did! Anyway, even though I didn’t get A.’s socks done on time (and I really need to mail them to him now), he did drive me to yet another yarn store. He was happy that it was a new store (to […]
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 don’t necessarily want to be associated with this unlucky number, but so far in Ali’s list of participants in her “summer knitting goals” contest, number 13 is empty so I’ll add my goals. Here they are:
1) Finish at least A.’s socks and 2 of my unfinished sweaters (I’m thinking the tank I just started, […]
I am really happy that I’ve had nonstop work for 2-3 weeks (I work at home and am only loosely guided by deadlines, so I don’t ever really get time off, if there’s work, I should be doing it, even now at 9:45 pm.) but boy am I busy! I have spent some time […]
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 […]
Isn’t one of the cardinal rules of knitting (after the no sweaters unless you’re married) that you shouldn’t knit in a yarn store? If so, I am a repeat offender. I’ve been knitting at Yarn, Paper Scissors (one of those great knit, crochet, sew, bead and s****book stores) and of course they had […]
I went to see the movie “Speed Kings” today, with Keanu Reeves, Forrest Whittaker, Hugh Laurie, etc. I really liked it. The first interesting thing I noticed is when I usually watch movies alone during a weekday I am surrounded by older couples, or just all older women. One or two housewives, too. […]
You’d think it was October by the amount of “A Haunting” shows I’ve been watching. In HD, no less. A couple of weeks ago there was a marathon of some other haunting show on Discovery, and that’s when I got back into the ghost shows. I think I’ve seen all the “Haunted [a city]” episodes, […]
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 […]
