Not Even a Flower

Friday, 29 July 2005 12:25 P GMT-05
Yup, I've got nothing for you visual types. We have reached the point of vacation prep that involves packing. I'll just whip a bunch of clothes in a suitcase and be happy enough with that but I still have to pack knitting. Ah yes, what shall I bring

Another flower from the garden. This one doesn't have a story. Yeah, I have no knitting to show. But I have been knitting. I completed the body of the minisweater and started a sleeve. I still don't think I'll be done before we leave but not because

In an effort to have a post with photos when there has been only a little progress on the knitting I bring you "Day Lily". I have no idea what type it is but it does come with a story. About 30 years ago my mother's cousin harvested a coup

I've been working on a minisweater for H. The yarn is Lion Brand cotton ease that I picked up at Tuesday Morning about 2 weeks ago. I knew if I had a chance to pick up this yarn I would like it. I wish I had been able to get better colors. This is th

Oh No!

There is unpleasantness afoot, well at hand actually, something poison ivy-like on both hands. Very itchy and quite ugly. So no knitting for the near future. Crap. Anyone have a good remedy for the itch???

See what I found when I went grocery shopping. I am always so stunned to see a knitting magazine in the grocery store right at the checkout. I loose all self control and drop it in the cart. (Forget the candy. Imagine if they had YARN at the checkout

If This Is Tuesday

Tuesday, 12 July 2005 8:48 A GMT-05
It dawned on me yesterday that time is passing quickly and I must get the socks done for my sock pal. So instead of working on the lace last night I got back to the sock. I am happy to report that the first Sockapal2za sock is nearly done. All that's

...Rowan linen drape for being the yarn most likely to split when knitting. Or at least that's my opinion on the subject. I got 3 skeins of this lovely yarn from my SP2 Kate. The color (844) is lovely. The drape divine. The tendency to split a PITA.

Just a Minute

Saturday, 9 July 2005 9:43 A GMT-05
All week long that's what I've been wishing for, just a minute to myself! This has been a week of cleaning (and I'm still not done!), laundry and shopping. At least I managed to pick up something for myself: the new Interweave Knits. I've hardly had

Sockapal2za Sock 2.0

Tuesday, 5 July 2005 6:51 A GMT-05
Much like any sort of second version the Sockapal2za sock 2.0 is an improvement over the 1.0 model but all the bugs haven't been worked out of it yet. The photo (which follows the poor quality tradition we have set here) is taken with the cuff of the

Independence Day

First I hope everyone has a safe and fun weekend. Ours will be spent driving or riding depending which seat your in. H had her first driving lesson with the driving school yesterday. She did OK. But she did say she was very uncomfortable with the fac
