The dishcloth is done. What a fun knit! What a bad photo! It's the Ballband dishcloth from the book Mason Dixon Knitting. I used Lily Sugar 'N Cream in hot orange and cornflower blue. The pattern is interesting enough to keep me entertained but easy

You Know How Sometimes You Just Know

I finished the first of N's socks. I made the cuff lower than usual this time. Maybe he can wear them with shorts. N has what I consider to be bigger feet. He wears a size 10. He's 3. I made bigger socks this time and suspected I'd run out of yarn an

Where has this day gone?

Well actually I do know where this day has gone. I've been reading this book. It is amazing. I feel like a whole new world has been opened to me. I can't wait to buy some more cotton to knit warshrags. Yes. I may even make a log cabin blanket and a r

The Sixth Sense Socks continue. Last night I turned the heel and started down the foot. Something clicked while I was knitting that second heel and I was able to zip right through it. The first one required lots of talking to myself and note taking.&

Yesterday I promised I would show you what I bought at the Fiber Studio. First let me say the shop was wonderful. There was lots of yarn, plenty of patterns and even wheels, buttons and beads. Since Rob was outside entertaining N I didn't have a lot

My Sixth Sense socks for the Six Sox KAL are coming along nicely. I completed the first one and I'm ready to start the heel on the second one. This pattern is well written and fun to knit. The Koigu yarn is a pleasure to knit with too. I did run into

WOW!

N is so proud of his plants. Look at how much they have grown in such a short time. Being the insane supportive mother that I am I carry these from window to window to insure they get plenty of sun. I'll have knitting content once of these days. To

(Yawn) Tired...

I have not knit a stitch since Saturday night while H was playing field hockey. When we got home N was crying. My mother was babysitting. She said he was fine all evening until he fell asleep on the couch. He woke up crying and continued to cry for h

You Asked For It.

In the 1950's there was a TV show called "You Asked For It" where they answered questions written in by the home viewers. (It was revived in the 1970's for a while too. That's when I saw it!) Well I received a question in the comments

Heel, Plants and Boy

I did the heel on the Sixth Sense Sock yesterday. It looks OK. There are no huge holes which in my mind is a big plus. The whole thing was going along fine until I was interupted and then I wasn't sure where I was or what row I was on so I just kept

Socks=Fun

I have been knitting the Sixth Sense Sock exclusively for the past few days and I haven't made much progress but every second I have spent knitting has been pure pleasure. The pattern is pretty and easy to knit. I keep stopping to admire my work. The

Rainy Day Photos are Yucky!

When I was a preteen we moved to a brand new house. I got to pick out the color I wanted for my wallpaper. I picked pink. As was typical I ended up with pink. A few years later as a way to make up for the pink I was allowed to pick out my own cu

Tidbits of Nothing

I like "Boy Meet Grill". Bobby Flay cooks interesting things on the grill and gives plenty of other information to keep the show really interesting. The theme song for "Boy Meets Grill" makes my teeth ache. It is the most grating

Happy April Fools Day!!
