It started with a simple request. OK, really, it started with some sock yarn. And my Dragon socks and a slight mishap with the dryer. (note to self: Knitpicks dye-your-own sock yarn is not superwash!) And a request to some knitting groups for unfelting advice. I had several responses, [...]

I have the bestest best friend!  I got my (albeit very early) birthday box in the mail today (2 days from Snarkville to Knitnikland - a new record!).  There were birthday goodies galore!  Gorgeous heathered felting wool (just screaming out to be a bag), Trekking sock yarn, Wick sock yarn, curly mohair, and SOCKS THAT [...]

I went around the house last night and set every clock back one hour.  I was doing so well.  Until the alarm went off at 8:30 this morning to get ready for church.  Yeah, it did seem like it was a LOT later than that.  I went into the dining room and saw all the [...]

My favorite new autumn quote:
When the bold branches
Bid farewell to rainbow leaves -
Welcome wool sweaters. - B. Cybrill
And another:
Bittersweet October.  The mellow, messy, leaf-kicking, perfect pause between the opposing miseries of summer and winter. - Carol Bishop Hipps

as you can tell, if you’ve ever looked at my gallery and seen dozens of pictures of my feet.  These are the socks that I started last fall, and decided to give to Sarah for her birthday.  I forgot to get a picture, and I’ve been asking her for one since last November!  So here, [...]

Sorry, just had to.  And if you’ve never heard the Llama Song, go here and have a laugh.  We spent yesterday meeting Ann and Dale Potter and their wonderful llamas at Pilot Mountain Llamas, and we had a blast!  I’ll hopefully have pictures in the next day or two, as I couldn’t take my camera, [...]

No time to post, but I wanted to post pics of the baby stuff I finished up 15 minutes before I had to be at the baby shower today.  I finished up the 2nd bib, and added the button.  I also made another pair of half-socks for the mom-to-be, and also made a pair for [...]

Of dentist visits, knitting projects, confessions, and baby things!  3 visits to the dentist today, 3 clean mouths, 1 yanked tooth, but no cavities.  What a way to spend an afternoon out of school (but what a nice treat to sleep in this morning!).  Hayley had one “hanging on” baby tooth, and after days of [...]

I’m in a bit of a knitting funk.  And probably a life funk too, if I am candid.  It’s just been a few (well, several) weeks since I’ve felt really good, and not overly tired, and just enthused about much of anything.  My knitting reflects this - various projects in states of neglect, casting on [...]
