I received my February Romance Book Swap from my swap buddy setup by KTC (Knit the Classics). What wonderful books I get to read, new ones to my collection.
Don’t you just love getting packages in the postbox? I know I do.
No excercising tonight, my shoulder is not feeling it’s best, having [...]
Winter Knitting Retreat

Saturday evening, Mary and I had been lucky enough to get dinner tickets for the “Sally Melville” event. Prior to attending, we hit the vendor market and this is what I brought home. The Spring 2006 Interweave Knits issue, sock yarn (Lana Grossa) and the little sheep bag that looks like a mini-lunch [...]

Ah, a package in the postbox today. I joined International Rowan last month and received my first of two magazines. Here is Rowan No. 39. I have yet to sit down and really look at it…but from the quick flip through the book, I have the feeling of gypsy or peasants with [...]

Yep, that’s me. Not making big progress on that second sock. I’ve been a diet/excercise nut since the New Year. I must workout after dinner, then off for a shower, then a cup of tea and I’m done. Crawling into bed at 8:30 p.m. to read for a bit and lights [...]
Baaaa – Sheep Everywhere

My SP7 must truly know how much I LOVE sheep. I went to the postbox after work and found this lovely postcard all the way from the U.K. I’ll have to get the story on the “spider monkey” her dearly beloved would rather have than sheep. Could be the most interesting story [...]
One down, One to go…

I finished the first of the pair of After-Thought Heel socks this morning and have cast on for the second one as I don’t want to get SSS (second sock syndrome). I will try to get as much done as I possibly can before heading down to our neighbors for the SuperBowl XL gathering. [...]

After knitting on my sock, watching the Saturday sewing shows and browsing the new KnitPicks catalog, I found the GoKnit Pouch on the back of the catalog. Hmmm, I can make one of those. So I did. Actually I made two as you can see. One is for my SP7 that [...]

Here’s this weekends project. Knit Picks Stripes sock yarn in “Autum” from one of my previous SP’s. I love orange and green, with the bit of rose giving it a “kick”. I am doing an after-thought heel, hope to have the first sock done by afternoon. Plans are to have the [...]

Don’t you just love her…that’s JuJu…my sheep stitch marker from Katie, of Pink Sheep. JuJu arrived today in the mail. Katie was wonderful, emailing me when she received my payment and when she mailed out JuJu.
Ok..for a few of you, you should know I have a sheep-fetish. This is [...]
