I’ve been knitting along on my purple sock. The gussets are done, and I’m working my way down the foot. In another four or five pattern repeats, I might even be ready to start the toe decreases. As an added bonus, I finally knit up all the loose yarn that was wound around the ball […]

I don’t know about you, but I love eating produce that I’ve grown myself in my own yard. The bugaboo is that even though I have a large yard, it’s on the side of a steep hill that’s filled with rocks. Even the few level places there are in my yard are so rocky as […]

Quite a group of us showed up at Terri’s house on Saturday. I loved seeing the few people I already knew, and meeting everyone else. Everyone’s projects were amazing. Just gorgeous. There were, what? twelve of us there, not counting the kids? Yes, Terri’s living room was crammed full of us and our projects. We […]

We had some gorgeous weather over the weekend. Well, I thought it was wonderful, anyway. Dave always thinks I’m nuts, but I get so excited when it rains, and I always want to go out it it. On Saturday morning we had this incredible rainbow. Do you see the second one to the right of […]

I got an email from Knit Picks yesterday. They have a new sweater pattern out that’s supposed to chase the winter doldrums away. I like the starburst pattern on the back, and well, I like the starburst pattern on the back. The yarn comes in some nice colors. (Can you tell that I’m trying desperately […]

I was invited to go to a stitching get together that’s happening at Terri’s house tomorrow, and I’m totally excited. It’ll be great fun to meet more of the ladies that I see on the boards. Sue, the sweet lady who invited me, will be picking me up at noon, and we’ll drive down together. […]

First off, I want to deliver a huge Thank You to everyone who’s commented in my blog the last day or two. I’m agog. I’m aghast. I’m tickled pink, and pleased as punch. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I do wonder sometimes, how I get on these lists. I’ve been receiving email about a Knit […]

Comment on your comments (giving and receiving): Do you love comments or hate them? Do you check them every day, never check them, or find them helpful? And finally, are you convinced no one is reading your blog if you don’t get any?
I love getting comments, and enjoy giving them. I don’t leave comments every […]

Hm. That doesn’t sound quite right somehow. It’s accurate, though. Purple socks, purple roses… I’m awash in purple, and loving every minute of it.
You’re right, Kim. This yarn has definitely been calling out for a lace pattern. It just took me a bit to find the right one. This sock pattern rocks. It’s easy […]

Yes. It is true. My father was born on Valentine’s Day. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if it didn’t bring him some measure of grief when he was a kid. You know how kids can be. By the time I came along he’d learned to roll with it. In fact, Dad’s one of the […]
