Spinning Blog??

Wednesday, 29 November 2006 8:15 A GMT-05
Day 2 of spindling went pretty well. I had little trouble with the drafting. The only real problem is that the singles are loosing their twist. I'm pretty sure I know what the problem is. I'm putting it the wrong way on the spindle. I've

Totally Tuesday

Tuesday, 28 November 2006 9:27 A GMT-05
This is all the knitting I got done yesterday. Just a tiny start on striped sock number 2. I just had so much to do. There was a tiny bit of Christmas shopping. I only bought 1 thing but I did get ideas for a few more so all in all a couple of h

A TOE!!

Monday, 27 November 2006 8:29 A GMT-05
The afterthought heel is just like a toe. You would think I would have noticed it when I did the two Iris Garden heels but I didn't. In defense of my slow uptake, I think I was so caught up in the two strands of yarn thing to really not

Oh yeah, I was knitting that

Wednesday, 22 November 2006 9:57 A GMT-05
Yesterday I had a bit of afternoon knitting time while N was napping. I really should have been cleaning. It was chilly and I was thinking how nice it would be to have a cardigan to slip on while I knit. Oh yeah. I was knitting a cardigan a while bac

All those things I said

Remember I said I liked the afterthought heel on the Iris Garden sock more than I thought I would. Well I liked it so much that I decided to do the same sort of heel on the striped sock. Hopefully I've measured correctly so the foot will be the r

Bloom

A while back Carole posted a photo of a lovely Christmas cactus. I knew then that I'd post a photo of mine when it bloomed. I got mine about 10 years ago. It was a gift from a friend. In that time the plant has had many years with few flowers but

Iris Garden Socks

Friday, 17 November 2006 9:53 A GMT-05
They're done!! These are the Iris Garden socks, the next (since I have no idea what number socks these are) pattern for the Six Sox KAL. I started them October 15, I think, and completed them November 15. The yarn is Trekking color 122 for the st

Baking and Knitting without photos

Wednesday, 15 November 2006 8:25 A GMT-05
The Iris Garden sock continues. Add another couple of rows to yesterday's photo and you have an idea of how it looks. I also snuck in a few more rows on the striped sock last night when my eyes were too tired to follow the chart for Iris Garden an

Tuesday

We've got another dark dreary day here in New England. It doesn't make for good picture taking. I spent some time yesterday working on the second Iris Garden sock. I am nearly done with the leg. If I can get a long afternoon and evening of kn

GRRRR!!

Monday, 13 November 2006 11:18 A GMT-05
I have been in the most horrible mood the last couple of days. I can't really pin it on one thing. It's more of a build up of a bunch of things that seem to repeat. Yet again the husband has told me that I expect too much of people. I know I

My 116 Minutes

I can't believe how quickly my free time went! N loved the movie and has since watched it a second time. It is very cute and I love how they put jokes in for the adults. I was able to catch up on my Bloglines, talk on the phone uninterupted with

Further Proof Of My Insanity

Tuesday, 7 November 2006 9:14 A GMT-05
As I said yesterday, there wasn't a lot of knitting over the weekend. I finished the first Iris Garden sock and after 3 or 4 attempts at casting on I started and completed the toe. Why after casting on and knitting the first toe did I have s

Whirlwind Weekend

Monday, 6 November 2006 8:31 A GMT-05
We had a full weekend. Mainly it was full of field hockey. The season may be over but there are still games to watch and play. Saturday we took a ride to Bowdoin College to watch the NESCAC semifinals. H is looking at colleges and wanted to see the f

Monogamy

The sock and I are one. I will knit nothing else until I have finished this pair of socks. Unfortunately I have a love/hate relationship with this sock. Lets start with the bad. I do not like the bind off. The picture doesn't capture the true pic

Loser!

First we have H and N dressed for Halloween. I only took a couple of pictures and they really don't capture the costumes. N is Little Green Sprout, the Jolly Green Giants friend. No one knew who he was until it was explained. Luckily he just
