Do over

I want you to think back, way back, to last week. Remember the sock parts I posted about and how I wasn't happy with the heel but I found the key answer when I asked my question to the universe? It's history. I ripped it out and started something a

Into the universe

Friday, 28 January 2005 9:40 A GMT-05
Sometimes in the past I have found that when I have a question about something if I just send the question out into the universe the answer finds it's way to me. I spent last night tinking the heel on the sock. It was OK but I just wasn't thrilled wi

Quickie

This must be quick. Knitting first so I make sure I get to it! I knit the heel on the sock, twice. It looks OK. The YOs are a little loose. I think I just need practice. Photo tomorrow assuming we have sun.I don't know what happened to yesterdays pos

Back in the saddle again

Finally I found a pattern that makes me happy and leaves me feeling like knitting more! Of course the color in the photo is nasty and washed out (FYI the table cloth is forest green, not blue, the yarn is bright, not dull.) I am using the Simple Sock

Second times a charm

I was nearly done with my post, reading through it just to be sure all was fine before I hit save & publish and I got the blue screen of death. Lost everything. I admit I did whine a little. Should I feel paranoid that my computer is censoring wh

Disappointed

No photo today. I am too depressed. I had extra time to knit yesterday, about 2 extra hours. I worked on the EZ sweater and it really was moving along. I have had done about 12 decrease rounds and was making progress. Just before putting it all away

Look Who's 2! Happy Birthday N!!

Something Old and Something New

Here is the progress I've made on the EZ sweater. (Sorry the photo is icky. It's a little cloudy out and when I turned on the lights the photo was washed out.) Last night I was able to do 3 sets of the raglan decreases . It's coming along and I even

It's Tuesday and we are finally back to normal (as normal as it gets aropund here anyway). H returned to school. Her eyes are fine and no one else caught it. N has a cough which is worse at night. He seems fine otherwise though. We had a nice long we

All Whine all the time

I am so tired. N was up hourly last night. I think he's finally getting the cold that we have all had. It's really the first time he's been sick. Boy is he a cranky little man! I am hoping he'll nap for a while so I can nap too. Normally I look forwa

Wash, Rinse, Repeat

We are at the repeat part of the illnesses. H awoke Tuesday with conjunctivitis in one eye and a whopping sinus infection. After a trip to the doctor we learn that it is a deep sinus infection that may require a trip to a specialist to cure. We'll kn

Whatcha doing?

Look at this and this and this. Because I am both a sheep and a fool I have jumped into knitting a Baltic mitten having little idea what I'm doing. I am one of those people who is willing to try out something I like without a clue of exactly how to d

Something funky

Friday, 7 January 2005 8:51 A GMT-05
and not in a good way. We have got this very unfun funky virus in our house. It involves a headache and chills but only a very low fever. Not quite the flu but unpleasant just the same. I spent Wednesday in bed, as much as I could with a near 2 year

Progress: It's a Good Thing

Here is the EZ sweater in progress. The photo isn't great. The color is way off. The yarn is Lamb's Pride in medieval red which is a very maroon shade. Definitely not the pink the photo is lying about. Last night I completed the increases on sleeve n

Show and Tell

I had a fairly productive weekend. These are N's socks which took only 3 evenings of knitting. The jacquard pattern isn't quite right. I just couldn't get gauge with the needles I had on hand but decided to just go with it. They really won't fit him
