Boys are Different

Tuesday, 31 January 2006 8:09 A GMT-05
There was no knitting at my house yesterday. Instead we spent 3 hours at the emergency room while N had 5 stitches in his chin. After dinner while I cleared the table and set about doing the dishes he was happily watching Sesame Street. All was peace

Rejuvenated

I think every weekend should be like the one I just lived. Friday night after a quick low fuss dinner I was able to knit until I fell asleep at 10. Saturday I did a little quick shopping in the morning and was home knitting by noon and I continued to

Proof that I'm not a complete slacker

The second Jaywalker sock continues slowly. I actually did more than an inch last night. That's the most I've knit all week. I plan to change that this weekend. I have planned a do nothing (other than clean the house on Sunday) weekend. I'd like

Finally a Bandwagon

Check it out. I am sporting a shiny new button. Since the Harlot announced the Knitting Olympics I have felt so uninvolved. My plate is so full it's running over the edge of the table. I know my limits and taking on a challenging project with a 16 da

My View

This is the view out my back door at about 7:15 this morning. Sorry to have the neighbor's trash centered in the photo but today is trash day. My husband went to work at 3:30 this morning and the roads were clear and the sky was just cloudy. I went b

Bowing Out Gracefully

I was so looking forward to the new sockapaloooza. (The sign ups are today and today only so if you are interested run, do not walk, on over and get signed up.) I really wanted to do it again since last time was such a blast. Unfortunately my nonknit

Weekend in Knitting

Monday, 23 January 2006 12:58 P GMT-05
I managed to squeeze in a bit of knitting time this weekend. Not as much as I would have liked but enough to keep me sane. Last night I nearly finished the first Jaywalker sock. All I have left is to kitchener the toe. You'd think I could stay awake

Birthday Boy!

Friday, 20 January 2006 7:45 A GMT-05
Today N is 3 years old. Time has just flown by. With each passing day I am more and more in love with this little man. He is genuine and funny and tender-hearted. He's also opinionated and stubborn. All traits that will serve him well

I was tagged for this meme by Julia. She timed it perfectly since I had nothing for you today. I didn't knit a stitch yesterday even though all day long I lloked forward to sitting down and working on that Jaywalker sock. Maybe tonight.   Four

That Feeling

My bloglines still isn't showing my blog as being updated. Is anyone seeing me there? I had no problem when everyone else was having bloglines trouble but now that they seem to have worked the kinks out of their system I have dropped off their radar.

Lost

Tuesday, 17 January 2006 9:31 A GMT-05
Yeah, I kind of got lost for a bit. I lost track of the the last few days of last week and then the competition for the computer was difficult over the long weekend. I don't like to blog when others are at home. I find it hard enough to write without

Another Story

Thursday, 12 January 2006 7:35 A GMT-05
As you know we have been fighting the battle of the mystery hives. I have been painstakingly keeping a food journal including every morstle that passes N's lips and where it comes from. Along with keeping track of what he's eating I'm actually seeing

We have ways...

of making you talk to make socks behave. I have been seduced by the Jaywalker sock pattern and I have been unfaithful to the In the Shadow of Love sock all weekend. My affair with the Jaywalker began so innocently. I thought I'd just cast on the new

A Treat

Yesterday I got the prize I won in Kate's contest. Look at all the goodies she included. First there is the beautiful Cherry Tree Hill yarn in tropical storm. The color is stunning in person. Next we have needles in size 1, my favorite sock knitting

The Storytellers

Wednesday, 4 January 2006 9:41 A GMT-05
I love nothing more than reading blog entries with stories that give a bit of insight into the writers life. It gives me an idea of the whole person, not just their taste in yarn. I also think that because knitters have the patience to take string an

Not Too Bad

Tuesday, 3 January 2006 11:00 A GMT-05
Today is dark and gray. Rain or snow is threatening. Yesterday there was much talk on the weather reports of many inches and bad driving. Alas we were spared which saddened H. She was hoping for another day at home. I am happy to have returned to our
