We Have A Winner!

I have a little ritual I like to follow on winner picking day and it goes like this. First I get the yarn prize. This is 2 skeins of Artyarns Ultramerino4 in color number 101. Then I write all the entrants names on little slips of paper and fold them

You Know Me Too Well

Yes, I am addicted to Ravelry. I find myself looking at everyone's projects and the yarn and the patterns. Everything is so colorful, so beautiful and so perfect. Now that I have admitted my little problem hopefully I can cut back a little&n

That Thin Line

I never thought of myself as that kind of person. My life was simple. I was good and kind and not that type at all but things can change and that change can come from the most unsuspecting place. It all started with a simple link on a blog post. I ca

And this sock is the proof. I have spent hours knitting, or ripping actually, the Anastasia socks. As you can see by the little notebook there are plenty of notes on the attempts. Just to give you the full honest truth, there were 3 attempts at

Can Dreams Come True?

Last night I had a dream. I rarely remember my dreams but I know I have them. This one I remember. I was knitting a sock and doing some sort of increases and I remember I thought I was doing it wrong. But I was knitting and it felt good. Let's se

Thank you for the kind comments yesterday. They're greatly appreciated.We had some good news on the BIL. He has a very rare (so I won't mention exactly what it is) thing that should require only surgery. We are all relieved that it wasn't

Blog Slacker

I am such a slacker with the old blog lately. There seems to be too many other things these days. I hope the craziness ends soon because I miss the daily brain dump. Let's file this under family drama.Yesterday the husband worked 4AM-12. Then we

You're The Giver!by Lois LowryWhile you grew up with a sheltered childhood, you're pretty sure everyone around you is even more sheltered. Suddenly, from out of nowhere, you were tapped on the shoulder and transported to the real world. This

Random Observations

Knitting progress is only made when one knits. Tinking or ripping just makes the process all the slower. I was nearly finished with the foot of the Anastasia sock when I decided I was unhappy so rippppppppp. I began it again last night from the toe a

Yesterday we went to visit H at college. We watched another field hockey game. They won, again! They're 4-0. Amazing. After the game H opened her gifts and declared them exactly what she wanted and we went out to dinner. It was so nice to spend t

The socks are, well nearly, done. As I've said before I don't kitchener toes at night so I'll get to these later this afternoon. The color is barely closer to right than the last one. The yarn is Colinette Jitterbug in Jewel. The pattern

Knitting, Actual Knitting

I have been knitting. I know, you're shocked. Here is the photographic evidence. An actual sock that should fit H has been completed. I am so happy to finally feel like I'm getting back into the groove. I've missed knitting. As usual ther
