Snakes on a Sock!

Wednesday, 30 August 2006 7:41 A GMT-05
I have been spending my knitting time working on the Scales Skin Socks for the Six Sox KAL. They are knit in Opal which is knitting up nicely. The individual scales really show well in this yarn. I didn't follow the pattern for the toe. I like the re

Saturday Nothing

Saturday, 26 August 2006 12:20 P GMT-05
First, thanks so much for the advice. Sometimes I feel like I live in an alternate universe and just need someone from the real word to pop in and tell me what to do. I have gone podcast crazy. I've been listening to Cast-On and Stitch-Cast regular

And So It Ends

Thursday, 24 August 2006 7:47 A GMT-05
Summer vacation is over. H started double sessions this morning so we were up at 6AM. We've been sleeping in the past couple of months. Even N has been sleeping until 7 or 7:30. Picasso moved onto my pillow when I got up and hasn't moved since. Sorry

I took my own advice

Monday, 21 August 2006 7:56 A GMT-05
It didn't take me long to take my own advice and cast on a few new projects. So far it has worked out well. I knit on what I feel like at the time and progress is being made all around. Well, on everything except my navy cardigan which has been in ti

Thank you so much for all the nice compliments on my Kiri Shawl. It was fun to knit and I highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in knitting a shawl. It's the first one I've done and the process was very rewarding. Finally, now that the su

Kiri Shawl DONE!

Monday, 14 August 2006 8:11 A GMT-05
This is going to be a photo heavy post. Sorry. I'm a little excited. I ended up tinking the edging on the shawl and knitting an additional repeat of the pattern. I knew I had to try and if I ran out of yarn so be it. I was sure I wouldn't have e

Pie But Not The Pie

Friday, 11 August 2006 8:04 A GMT-05
Last night after eating a disappointing slice of pie I was sitting in bed (of course!) knitting and watching Big Brother All Stars. I'm turning the heel on the second Dublin Bay sock. Sock knitting by night, shawl knitting by day. I'm a crazy wo

What Would You Do??

Tuesday, 8 August 2006 1:38 P GMT-05
I've been sitting at the table (normally I do my knitting in bed) knitting the Kiri shawl for days now and it is done but really is it? I did like 8 repeats and the edging but I think I should have done another repeat but I don't know if I

What I Want

Sunday, 6 August 2006 8:46 A GMT-05
I have very simple wants, as opposed to needs. Right now I want a good blueberry pie recipe that involves precooking a portion of the berries before placing them over the remaining berries and baking them in a covered pie. I had a great recipe b

In This Heat!

Wednesday, 2 August 2006 9:27 A GMT-05
Yes. I have completely taken leave of my senses. I am knitting lace in this heat. Let's get the heat out of the way first shall we. Today is supposed to be the hottest day in Boston for the last 4 years. Yes. That hot. The heat I could live with. Eve
