I got bored, so I stopped. But not before I did two lace rows separated by two purl rows. You can see the eyelets in the photo. They go around both edges. I read in a number of places how important a loose bind-off is for this type of scarf, and I certainly wouldn’t want […]
I saw this over on Nicki’s blog. Had to play. Ooh. Have a friend who has a ragdoll. She’s a pretty kitty. Very fluffy.
You are a ragdoll! You are known for your laid back attitude. You are the ultimate in low-maintenance. You’d rather hang out around the house all day than […]
Dave’s disgusted with me. There are literally thousands of books in this house, a significant number of which I’ve never read, yet here I go, re-reading the David Eddings’ Belgariad. Again. When I finished Cornwell’s Predator, I looked around for something to read. Something I hadn’t read before. I picked up countless books, read the […]
No. I won’t. I’m not going to participate in the Yarn Harlot’s Knitting Olympics. I’m absolutely not going to cave. I’m more than happy to be in Margene’s Enjoy the Process KAL instead.
However, as with the athletic version of the games, I’ve been watching the progress avidly… And the knitting hasn’t even begun! I’ve always […]
Stacey thought she was the last blogger to do this one, but it clearly isn’t so, since I’ve yet to do it. Here goes:
Four movies you would watch over and over:
Harry Potter series
Runaway Bride
A Knight’s Tale
Dirty Dancing
Four places you have lived:
This is tough. I’ve lived in California all my life except for 10 weeks when […]
Berroco is jumping on the bandwagon with a free pattern for felted bags. They’re cute. Nothing special. I don’t think I’d trust their strength to use them as a purse with all my heavy stuff, but I think they’d be great for toting around yarn.
I found one! I found one! I just knew that someone must have a Kaffe Fassett knitalong going. And I found one. Yippee! I’m naturally no closer, really, to knowing without a doubt which Fassett I’m starting with than I was when my Pattern Library arrived in the mail a week ago—see this post, if […]
A new sockalong. Sort of. It has a cute button or two, and a fun idea. Lynda wants to have enough hand-knit socks that she can wear a different pair every day. And she wants company in her sock-making adventure. So she’s keeping track. Sign up and let her know how many pairs of socks […]
My friend Karen just came across this story about a manta ray, and sent it to me, knowing how much I’d love it. It’s one more in a long line of incredible stories about these majestic creatures. My dive instructor was actually granted the boon of a ride on one once. I saw the video. […]
Horror of horrors. It seems that Dave’s been able to get me hooked on Halo 2 on the Xbox. Egads. LOL Oh dear. We played so long about a week and a half ago that my right hand ached for nearly a week. Ordinarily somewhat strong just from the needlework I do, seems my […]
