It’s the Year of the Dog Today we will celebrate Chinese New Year over at Cindy’s…she tries to hit all the holidays that would have food involved, i.e. May 5th, Cino De Mayo, and such. Pretty funny to see a bunch of Washington country folk (i.e. rednecks) enjoying this holiday.
I’ve been to [...]

Funky Fringe Scarf for Karla
Posted in Uncategorized on January 28, 2006 | 3 Comments »
I received a half dozen or so skeins of this Knitting Funky Fringe Yarn for my birthday last year. Not fun to knit with…requires way to much attention for doing just a garter stitch scarf. This little piece is for Karla, my co-worker that loves these colors. A scarf for her, a [...]
Get the ark…we are in for rain

Seems we are bound for rain, at least the 10-day forcast says so for my zipcode. Ok, I’ll take rain, no snow though, thank you.
The rain puts a bit of a damper on my wattle…but I will prevail. I still have stakes, poles and posts for the teacup birdfeed/water for butterflies to finish [...]
Got Wattle?

Wattle FenceWattle you say. Yes, wattle. As in wattle fence. As in gardening. I have been thinking for the past week how to keep the chickens out of the garden beds yet let the ducks due their job of eating slugs and slithery things and still create my cottage garden, even [...]

For those that are wanting to get out into the garden or yard, but haven’t been able to do so because it is still the middle of winter, here’s the karma I get for even posting about it.
I was stung by a bee today. Luckily, it was after I finished a 4 1/2 hour [...]

Yep…a whole 2 1/2 inches on my vest so far. Haven’t had a whole lot of time to knit this week, where has the time gone? Today was, as I planned, dedicated to my garden. After an interesting Friday night (I was sick from the dinner at a local resturant, felt like [...]

If you have noticed, for those that have been visitors to my blog, that I seem to have a KAL fettish this year of 2006. I can now add my Hourglass Sweater as a KAL that I completed in a very short time.
I am now into Vested Interest KAL with this little [...]

Please, ignore the sheep pj’s. It’s 8pm, I’m dressed for slumberland and the Golden Globe Awards. (giggle)
It’s done. I love the feel of it, the cotton blend. It’s a bulky yarn, so I had to adapt the gauge I was knitting at to the pattern. I was knitting at about [...]
MLK Day

I have to say, I’m very strange about the kids or I missing school/work. Today is a Federal Holiday, no school. What do I do? I make three dental/ortho appts. Kellie and I were out the door after 7:40 a.m. for her ortho appt. She has come home with another wire [...]
