Game of Pretend

March 14th, 2006 · 3 Comments

I believe I promised knitting news. Of course, I promised it for Sunday. In my defense . . . all right, I confess - I don’t have an excuse. I hope you’ll forgive me and play along. Whatever you do, please don’t call my mom and tell her I don’t know my days of the […]

The Color’s In The Mail

March 11th, 2006 · 1 Comment

I saw Donni’s “ad” for Lynne’s Project Colorswap. I love giving and getting. Plus, the creative challenge of a color themed package seems like a lot of fun. Of course, I signed on. She’s limiting it to 40 people. So, if you are interested, let her know in the comments.

The Light Is On And Somebody’s Home

March 4th, 2006 · 4 Comments

I had an Aha! moment today. You know, that moment when the light goes on above your head, an audible click is heard, and your vision clears up.
I was closing the toe of the second BYOB sock. I was also cursing praising the genius who invented the Kitchner stitch. While begging the yarn gods, the […]

Deception

March 2nd, 2006 · 2 Comments

Monday came and went with no mail. No bills, no adds, no unsolicited credit card applications. So I thought.
Apparently my father sent a package that was too large for our mailbox. Since the mailman is friends with my husband, he tends to go out of his way for us. Instead of a note telling us […]
