    Swatch Distractions

    September 12th, 2006 · 9 Comments

    I never made it to the sale. I got distracted by design ideas for my ISE3 scarf. And the slight worry that the house would float away. In fact, I knit quite a bit this weekend - all swatches.
    It took several swatches and many more wadded up pages of graph paper before I found the […]

    A Day In Pictures

    September 2nd, 2006 · 5 Comments

    The house was a chilly 68F degrees this morning when I awoke. A few hours later, the sky still looked like this. Grey, very, very grey. It is actually raining in the photo. One of those incredibly light and misty rains that puts a chill dampness in the air, but does not manage to wet […]

    The First Step…

    …is admitting you have a problem.
    Blame it on my need to horde sock yarn, or the yellow-orange month of April. In my entire knitting career, I have completed only one pair of socks, and barely started a second pair. However, that doesn’t seem to stop me from acquiring more of the stuff to make knitted […]

    No Place Like Home

    I’m home! Friday, we drove to Cincinnati, OH and then to Bristol, TN on Saturday. Hubby and I didn’t realize how long a drive it was until yesterday. We drove the whole route home in one day - over 12 hours in the car. Today, I can’t sit still for more than a few minutes. […]

    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.

    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.
