Long Haul

Tuesday, 31 May 2005 11:33 A GMT-05
On Sunday under a threatening and soon to be raining sky we headed west to Cummington. It was a long ride and we made a few stops along the way which made it seem even longer. We arrived at about 9:30 and had a good time even if we did have to dodge

Friday FO

Friday, 27 May 2005 7:36 A GMT-05
The Claudia socks are done. First actual FO in a while. It's Friday. I love Fridays so much. A long weekend is approaching. My favorite kind of weekend. We are off to Cummington on Sunday. Sheep and wool, perfect. Why do I still feel so badly about

Mariah. She's gone. I feel bad. I am a KAL failure. I can't knit this sweater. Lies. It was all lies. There was no way I could make this sweater work for me. First I couldn't get gauge. I tried 3 needle sizes and could. not. get. gauge. Loser. I am

Weekend

Monday, 23 May 2005 7:38 A GMT-05
I wish I could say that after a few days of thought and a bright sunny morning I have come up with a fix for Mariah but I can't. We had a damp rainy weekend and it is continuing into the week. I feel like my brain can't quite see the fix just yet. I

Happy Birthday Mom!

That B*tch

Thursday, 19 May 2005 12:40 P GMT-05
Crap. Look at Mariah. She is a beautiful sweater. The cables, the yarn, the pleasure knitting her. All these are so good. Jodi wrote a fabulous pattern. Sadly the b*tch doesn't fit me. Mind you I have done only like 10 decrease rows so the fact that

We still have the ick. Now it is more of a sticky ick. N is much better than he was. I no longer have to chase him around with tissues. H went off to school this morning. She's sneezing and blowing her nose a bit but it's MCAS tests this week so she

Still sick

We're still sick. Everyone has it now. I call it the ick. There has been little knitting. I did about 10 more rows on the yoke of Mariah.

The Pressure

Wednesday, 11 May 2005 8:09 A GMT-05
We've still got the ick. The pressure in my head is making my eyes water. And my nose keeps running... H said she had a headache and sore throat but she went on her way to school anyway. N's nose keeps dripping. My husband finally feels better but is

Invaded

We are sick, again. This time a cold that grabs a hold and shakes you to your core (I will not say the F-L-U word!). My husband started with it on Saturday and he has gotten worse and then slightly better since then. N's nose started running Sunday a

Doing My Part

Sandy and Julia asked that everyone who isn't going to that fab fiber fest post something to their blog this weekend so that bloglines isn't a barren wasteland. I have never been to the sheep and wool shindig in MD but I drooled over the photos and

Third day, third dog. And yes, three is it. Here is Simon the giant poodle. He is a big chicken. Picasso rules the dog roost. Simon is the bottom of the pack. He had a difficult early life. He was returned to his breeder after a few months. We got hi

Mariah in the sun. The color is perfect. The knitting, eh, not so much. Last night still in my fickle mood I knit a little on the sock and then decided to move on to Mariah. I worked, slaving away on that sleeve for about 2 1/2 hours. Why does the ph

Yup, It's Wednesday

I did get to knit and boy did I need it. I worked on the Claudia sock. The color in the photo is bland. In person it isn't bland at all. The picot edge, which I really do love, has a little flare but not really too bad. I am just winging the pattern

I've Got Nothing

If you are here looking for knitting. Move along. I have none to show...Maybe tomorrow.

While all the cool Boston area knitters where at Circles visiting with the Harlot I was home, knitting. I am nearly done with the second repeat on the second Mariah sleeve. It looks really nice and I am very happy with it. I am hoping the sweater its
