I’m way late doing this, but couldn’t while Mom was visiting. So, here goes.
How many pieces have you stitched? Out of these, how many have been for you? How many have had specialty stitches or other techniques besides cross stitch?
Though I’ve been stitching off and on for years, I also knit and crochet, so don’t […]
The folks at Patternworks have come up with something I haven’t seen before… nesting knitting needles. They say they store easily, and are good for travel. The set includes what they think are the most common sizes: 2, 2.5, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 10.5, and 10.75. Okay. The twos I can see… Good […]
But, enough about books… what else do you read?? Magazines? Newspapers? Professional journals? Cereal boxes? Phone books? Purchase invoices? Homework? (Please be specific. There may be a test later.)
I am a reader.
I read whatever is in front of me. If there isn’t something interesting in front of me, I’ll read the cereal box, tissue […]
Oooh. I was browsing Kim’s blog, and saw that she’s been following Eunny’s blog (Eunny creates some of the most fabulous knitwear!), and that Eunny has released the rest of her Bayerishe Sock pattern. Oh my. This might have to be my Socktoberfest sock pattern. I have some solid blue yarn that’s been wanting to […]
I hadn’t joined a knit along in a while. I’m officially a member of the Mountain Lace KAL, but I’m about the only one posting over there right now, expect for a finish here and there—well, one finish (which is gorgeous, by the way, you should go look), the only other post, actually, since I […]

I got this from my old friend Pete yesterday. I usually don’t share this sort of thing here, but it really cracked me up: Mathematics genius

I rounded out the far right side of that one large petal from last week, started on the petal next to it. I thought I’d get a little variety in while I had the chance, so started stitching a leaf. It’s almost as wide as it’ll get at this point. I’m looking forward to getting […]
Gads. It’s Monday already, and I still haven’t answered Deb’s great questions!
Do you tend to read more books written by one gender over the other? I didn’t think so, but looking back at the books I’ve read so far this year, I’d have to say that yes, I do.
If so, which one? Men? Or […]
Jackie, the designing genius behind the wonderful knitting patterns of HeartStrings FiberArts, is now allowing me to distribute some of her patterns electronically in .pdf format. For this first set, Jackie’s selected a good combination of patterns, from socks and sweaters to shawls and scarves. There’s even an afghan pattern. Payment must be made through […]
