More on socks

Thursday, January 5, 2006

No, I still haven’t started a new pair yet! Don’t know what’s keeping me. I think I need to run through my patterns again for some inspiration. I do have that lovely purple Opal yarn, after all… And Kim suggested that the yarn may work up nicely as lace socks. Hm. I like that idea. […]

Marilyn’s 2005 angel, etc.

Wednesday, January 4, 2006

Marilyn’s released her new Christmas Angel freebie. This one’s pretty cute. Still not something I’m likely to stitch unless I’m looking for a small angel for someone else.

Well, the other day Mom thought that maybe she’d rather have her moebius scarf in one of the bright blue yarns that I have instead of the […]

Stash shopping

Wednesday, January 4, 2006

Do you do your stash shopping at your LNS, ONS, or both? Which do you like better? Why?

Some silliness

Tuesday, January 3, 2006

On occasion we are quite silly around here. This particular vein of silliness branched from a not-so-silly event: my old kitty’s death. I’d had Deli for 19 years, and was devastated with she died. With everything else that had been going on that year, it was a bit of the straw and the camel, and […]

Lilac Basket update

Tuesday, January 3, 2006

I did some stitching on this after I finished Benevolent Gent, but didn’t realize how much I got done. Now when I compare this photo with the last one it looks like a lot. Hooray! I don’t think I’d done really any stitching to speak of since we got back from Las Vegas just before […]

Happy New Year!

Sunday, January 1, 2006

I hope that everyone had a fun, happy, and safe New Year’s celebration last night, and that 2006 turns out to be a wonderful year for you.

On the health front, I am on the mend. I think the fever is finally gone. Just wish I could say the same thing about the congestion. Congestion has […]
