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 ... http://www.knitv.com/2008/07/03/new-york-city/ 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 ... http://www.knitv.com/2008/06/27/rose-parade/ 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 ... http://www.knitv.com/2008/06/26/definitely-maybe/ 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 ... http://www.knitv.com/2008/06/20/brown-shoes-dont-make-it/ Surprise, I'm a spinner! I got interested in spinning this winter when I saw Lynn's huge shawl made of roving. Super-bulky yarn was just so expensive, so I decided to go to Etsy and buy some spinning supplies. I bought a kit and had a private lesson ... http://www.knitv.com/2008/06/19/presents-prizes-sweets-and-surprises/ 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 ... http://www.knitv.com/2008/06/15/shes-crafty/ Oh, oops, I mean "You Don't Mess with the Zohan".  Yes, I went to my last (for the most part) unsupervised (by kids) movie for the summer.  I had no interest at all to see this movie, but then I saw a trailer and it looked pretty funny, so I ... http://www.knitv.com/2008/06/14/lothar-and-the-hand-people/ 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 ... http://www.knitv.com/2008/06/10/party-time/ 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 ... http://www.knitv.com/2008/06/07/no-13-baby/ My friend and I went to see the "Sex and the City" movie today.  I did watch the show, but I wasn't a huge super-fan or anything. I do have a favorite episode, though, "The One", where Miranda says "Did you see the candle that Steve brought?" In fact, before today ... http://www.knitv.com/2008/06/05/yes-i-am-a-girl/
