Hell freezes over

Yup, they won. Everyone at our house is excited. Now we can get some sleep...I finished the poncho. I told you, hell froze over. I will never make a rectangle poncho again. It fits poorly fair. H didn't wear it to school. She seemed to like it ok whe

Field Hockey update: Friday H did not play. She called from school after lunch wanting to come home because she wasn't feeling well. The team missed her. They lost to Watertown 5-0. Watertown is the number 1 team in their league so the loss wasn't un

Bermuda Triangle of Knitting

Monday, 25 October 2004 1:26 P GMT-05
I am convinced that the more I knit on this poncho the less actually inches there are done. It is a large garter stitch rectangle so the knitting is easy and monotones. The only exciting aspect is the changing of the colors and all the ends I will ha

Confession is good for the soul

Since I can only report that I knit another 25 rows of garter stitch on the poncho while I looked longingly in the direction of the Fluted Banister sock I thought I would come clean on something I feel guilty about.Every morning I have a cup of coco

Here is the photo of the poncho H wanted to make that I am now working on. The pattern is from the book Teen Knitting Club. H had me change the stripes since she wanted two colors instead of three. She loved the idea of Fibonacci numbers for the str

Be forewarned I feel surly today and if you read on you do so at your own risk.I have a headache, a throbbing ice pick through the head kind. I am tired. This is day two of being really really over the top I may kill someone tired. Monday night the h

Fall

The garden is making it's last show before winter. These are mums I planted 10 years ago when we first moved into this house. They have changed a bit over the years. The centers are much more yellow and overall the flower looks more like a daisy tha

A Round Tuit

Sorry to have been AFB (absent from blogging). Time has gotten away from me, again. Lately I've been feeling like time is slipping away from me. Everything I try to do takes me longer than usual and I have a million interuptions. It's gotten to the p

A new book

On Saturday H and I (along with my mother and N) went shopping. In our travels we stopped at my favorite LYS Wild & Woolly in Lexington so I could pick up the last gift for my secret pal. While we looked and touched and swooned we were of course

Long weekend

Tuesday, 12 October 2004 12:36 P GMT-05
It was a wonderful long weekend. My husband works for the government so he was off yesterday. He still worked Saturday though. H had no practice this weekend but she did have the field hockey car wash on Sunday. They made nearly $850 which will be us

H's team won. They beat Burlington 2-1. It was a good game. Lots of action. H played goal the whole game. She's thrilled.I did a few more rows on the Fluted Banister sock. It's an easy pattern to do but I was too tired to knit for long last night. I

We interupt this normally dull blog for an important announcement: I got a great package from my Secret Pal. It seems she suffers from the same problem I do: The inability to keep secrets. She thought I knew that she was my secret pal but I really w

Mittens are still wet, er, a bit frozen actually. We have a three season porch and they were drying nicely out there yesterday in the warmness and it got dang chilly last night. We definately had a frost but I don't think it was a killing frost. I wi

Crazy Lady with lousy photos

I like to do nice things for people. I really like when they are little things that they don't know I did. This morning I think I *might* have done something for someone who was walking by my house while I was standing on the side walk taking this no

Here are some follow up articles about the accident. I spent part of Saturday night knitting while watching mindless TV. I finished H's mittens. They came out much better than the first pair. I hope both felt well and that the odd stitches are well h

H brought home her first long English essay and showed it to me this morning. She got a 77. The grade I don't care about. It's the comment the teacher made next to one of her sentences. Her essay was about equality in sports. The position she took wa
