Last night I decided to start working on an afghan for my college-bound son. I started with the psychedelic square, knitting up three, with each taking approx. 40 minutes. Didn’t know if I was liking this, so this morning I searched some more and found the Diamond Afghan Recipe. The later will [...]

Remember the Wattle Fence that I wrote about previously? Well, today I actually made a small one for my newly planted bulb garden. It took about an hour and half, this includes planting Glads, Frescia and two others I don’t have the name of at the moment. To keep the girls out [...]
Finally…Bumble Bee Socks FO

I believe this makes the third pair in February. I’m tellin’ you, Second Sock Syndrome exists, with gusto, I might add. And it’s not that I put the needles down after sock #1 of the pair and didn’t cast on for the 2nd. I did…it would just take “forever” to complete. [...]

The postbox had a lovely Sheep Postcard waiting for me today. It made its journey Via Royal Mail from my SP7. Lucie Fluff (aka: SP7), you seem to know how much I LOVE sheep. I enjoyed the story of your grandparents farm and will think of orphaned lambs as “caddy lambs” and [...]

Over two years ago I started these socks, one skein of Opal in “BumbleBee”, two at a time, top-down on two circs. Yeah, try wrestling with taking the yarn from two ends, it was not the funnest project to start up.
So…I knit down about 4 inches and stopped…two years ago. Wow…talk [...]

Since I was up at 5:30 a.m., on a non-work day to boot, I was able to get some laundry done, pay the bills, feed the livestock, empty dishwasher and cruise the net before the first flicker of power outage occured. I took my girls up to Seattle, braving the huge gusts of wind [...]

Wow…Elann.com was fast, fast, fast. This is the yarn I ordered two days ago for those project pics I posted that are in the Interweave Knits Spring 06 issue. Nice to find this kind of package in the postbox.
Heide, being the most fabulous lady, kind, giving, and my knitting chat buddy at school [...]
