For taking grand champion quilt at the county fair.  Craftiness runs in the family, natch! Great job, mom - it's beautiful!

I am not dead

Friday, 1 August 2008 8:52 A GMT-06
And I am shocked to see how long it's been since I last posted.  My lord; I had no idea.  And then I realized how long it'd been since I logged into my site - because I only had a few days left to go on my blog subscription.  A

No knitting content today, but I AM still alive.    Hopefully a knitting post in the next couple of days - I have to get pics taken and uploaded.  I"ve been knitting and crocheting a string market bag and a bunch of dishcloth

Thank you Cathy - International Scarf Exchange 6 Pal!

Way back when, I particpated in the International Scarf Exchange 4 and had a blast - both knitting the scarf for my pal - and being the receipient of a lovely lacey cashmere scarf.  I missed v.5, but was able to squeak in on v.6.This time for me

My sock yarn woes continue

Thursday, 22 May 2008 8:31 A GMT-06
I swear, I must be a magnet for defective skeins of yarn.  Well, not "defective" in the sense that the yarn is BAD or anything.  But "defective" in the sense that these are self-patterning (Opal) or striping (Kureyon Soc

Finished Unmentionables in action.

Friday, 16 May 2008 9:17 A GMT-06
A couple of posts ago I blogged about finishing my 21-mo-old niece's "Unmentionables."  They've now been shipped to her and I have action shots.  I'm not sure there was ever a cuter child with cuter knitwear: Awes

Okay, so I'm not a lace knitter

Thursday, 8 May 2008 7:32 A GMT-06
I'm good with that.As you'll recall from my last post, I was quite enamoured of the Charmed Floral Fantasy Shawl.  And it's a gorgeous thing, indeed.  But I am NOT a lace knitter; not for large-scale shawl-like projects, anyway.

Borrowed Meme

Stolen from Not an Artist (doesn't she have THE most gorgeous photography?) who, in turn, borrowed it from tapeheads - -the Most Unread Books meme:What we have here is the top 106 books most often marked as "unread" by Library

I've never been compelled to knit a shawl . . .

until now.The Charmed Floral Fantasy Shawl has me absolutely captivated.  I don't know what it is about this pattern but I came across it today, first in the Classic Elite Yarns e-letter, then on Ravelry, googled the yarn, found ou

My issues with Opal sock yarn

Sunday, 20 April 2008 8:02 A GMT-06
I am avowed lover of all sock yarn.  Or, until this latest pair, almost all sock yarn.   I am now declaring my dislike of Opal sock yarn.A couple of years ago I bought some of the re-issued Opal Rainforest in the Tiger colorway. 

Interweave Knits Spring 2008 - a review

Friday, 18 April 2008 12:53 P GMT-06
I no longer subscribe to Interweave Knits but that's not through any design but is rather through sheer laziness.  I just never returned the subscription card when it came and the subscription lasped; now I simply buy a new issue when I see

Be forewarned - no knitting content in today's post.  Or at least as little as makes no matter.My 13 year old 7th grader has been taking her FACS (Family and Consumer Sciences) class this year.  It's what us old folks used to know b

Knitting in the wild

Monday, 14 April 2008 9:01 A GMT-06
As an avid knitter, I find my self on the lookout for knitting "in the wild."  That obviously hand-knit item worn by others.  Scarves are, of course, plentiful, so it's the OTHER things I'm really searching for.  And

More socks

Friday, 11 April 2008 9:57 P GMT-06
So it seems that, lately, all I can do is socks.  What with kid issues and other family issues, I only have time to knit in the carpool I ride in every day to and from work (except, of course, on the days I drive).I'd promised my nephew'

Is there a knitter out there who doesn't love cables?  I think not, and I am no exception.  But it's been a while since I cabled anything and I'd forgotton how much I love the results.I joined the International Scarf Exchange 6

More Unmentionables

Saturday, 29 March 2008 1:25 P GMT-06
Progress is slow but steady on the Unmentionables for my 19 mo. old niece.  I love the yarn, love the pattern, love how the lace is edging the first leg - and just loving this project, period.  A few update pictures:Sigh.  I just love

Unmentionables

Wednesday, 19 March 2008 9:16 A GMT-06
One of the awesome patterns in the Spring 2008 Knitty was the sized-down Unmentionables and, as soon as I saw them, I knew immediately that I wanted to knit some for my niece.  I emailed my sister, who loved them, and ordered the yarn in pink as

So I'm getting sick of socks.

Saturday, 15 March 2008 8:23 P GMT-06
Yes, I am.  I'll admit it.  Oh, I never THOUGHT I'd actually hear those words coming out of my mouth - or, rather, off my finger tips.But I am READY READY READY for something besides socks.  But that seems like all I have on th

Spring KNITTY up!

I love the arrival of each Knitty and look forward to it with much pleasure and anticipation.  Spring 2008 did NOT disappoint. There are 18 patterns in this edition.  NOW, I won't go through a pattern-by-pattern review, but I will

Whew.

Healthwise I think I've been pretty damn lucky in my life.  No major health issues at all.  I did have some problems with my first pregnancy, but early intervention THERE, and almost ten weeks of bedrest delivered a healthy girl only tw
