A Big Ass

Friday, 29 April 2005 6:26 A GMT-05
See the poorly crafted photo of Mariah sleeve number 2 set lovingly by the bleeding heart which is in full bloom. The photo sucks because I made a BIG ASS of myself. Here is the story. I decided to run out quickly, while it was still early, to snap a

Another Progressless Post

Wednesday, 27 April 2005 7:00 P GMT-05
I keep trying but I am just not getting anywhere. Last night I played around a little with the Claudia sock but didn't make any progress. I tried different ways of attaching the live stitches and the cast on row but couldn't decided which way I liked

The Lesson for Today

Tuesday, 26 April 2005 7:00 P GMT-05
Sometimes I get the feeling I just don't learn the first time around. I keep making the same mistake over and over. Last night I was working on the first Claudia sock. I had completed the first 15 rows and it was time to join the cast on edge to the

I'm rambling here

Monday, 25 April 2005 7:00 P GMT-05
Just a few thoughts that have come to me lately.When I knit something, anything really, I like to learn something new or at least be challenged. This is news to me. I have blamed my inability to complete some of the things I start as wanderlust or st

Done!

Monday, 25 April 2005 6:52 A GMT-05
I had plenty of knitting time over the weekend and was able to finish the Go Team socks. They came out wonderful. H is happy with the design and they fit just fine. Working with cotton for socks for the first time was better than I expected. The only

I'm Back

Friday, 22 April 2005 10:24 A GMT-05
We are feeling better but still not quite 100%. Eating is still an iffy proposition. Knitting has resumed. Once the headache was gone I was thrilled to pull out the Go Team Socks and get to work on them. Mariah is waiting a bit. I don't have it in me

It's That Time Again

Tuesday, 19 April 2005 7:38 A GMT-05
Oh yeah. The second annual April vacation stomach flu. No knitting, no eating, just tv and sleeping. Regular blogging will resume eventually...  Now click away quick...

OOPS I Did It Again!

Friday, 15 April 2005 7:00 P GMT-05
Yesterday I made a quick trip to my most LYS to pick up some stitch markers. Mariah is a stitch marker whore so more were necessary. I got a nice little package of smallish white ones which will show perfectly on the blue yarn. Imagine my surprise an

Another Happy Friday

Friday, 15 April 2005 11:51 A GMT-05
It is sick and twisted how excited I get about Fridays. Today we have another in our extra special Fridays though. This particular Friday marks the beginning of April vacation. We have no plans to travel to exotic locations. We shall not be swishing

Getting There

Wednesday, 13 April 2005 6:48 A GMT-05
Progress on Mariah has resumed. N napped for almost 2 hours yesterday so I was able to get back into the groove with Mariah. Last night I continued knitting until my eyes were closing, that's 9:30 here folks! I started what could be the third repeat

Faking it

Tuesday, 12 April 2005 6:16 A GMT-05
I have been reading. I haven't been knitting. First I was seduced by this. And it is good. Very good. The kind of good that involves reading and cooking. Dinner was a bit singed. No one noticed. I didn't read during dinner. I didn't want to be a ba

One Fine Weekend

Monday, 11 April 2005 6:51 A GMT-05
What a fabulous weekend. It was warm and sunny. There was a fun project to knit. That is the beginning of the Go Team socks which is the 6th sock in the Six Sox KAL. This is the first time I have done stranded two color sock knitting and the going i

Predictable

Friday, 8 April 2005 11:55 A GMT-05
I'm sure you guessed I wouldn't be able to buy new sock yarn and let it just sit there. I actually let myself rationalize working on the sock since it does have a real deadline and since it's cotton and spring has finally sprung I should be working

Shopping!

Thursday, 7 April 2005 3:53 P GMT-05
Today since we didn't have the EI playgroup (Thanks Kate and Maureen for the kind comments yesterday! I really appreciate the support.) on the agenda we went out shopping and got N some new sneakers. It is still a challenge to get N's shoes fit. He

Warning: Knitting Free Zone Ahead

Wednesday, 6 April 2005 11:32 A GMT-05
Anyone looking for knitting content today had best just move along. I intend to rant a bit about something that is bothering me.Late last summer when N was 18 months old we decided to have him evaluated by early intervention (EI). They came and did a

Fast Post

Tuesday, 5 April 2005 6:37 A GMT-05
Yup, a sleeve. I didn't have much knitting time last night so I only got a couple of inches done. There will be more time tonight. As a big plus, I didn't make any mistakes in the two inches! The two steps forward one step back has made doing this sl

A Photoless Post

Monday, 4 April 2005 11:53 A GMT-05
As the title says, no photo today. Probably I'll have one tomorrow. I am working on Mariah's first sleeve. I have a twitch over my right eye. It comes and goes. It's much more pronounced when I make a mistake knitting said sleeve and have to tink bac

Gray Day

Friday, 1 April 2005 9:47 A GMT-05
We are having a gray overcast Friday here at Nothing But Knit so that means it's time for a quick photo shoot. Here's Mariah's back and fronts. Now I can finally start the sleeves! Casting on will begin soon. Notice the hands of my little assistant.
