Yup. You’re seeing this right. Our friend Rich shaved off half of his beard. Not only that, but he’s been going around in public like this for how long? That I didn’t get. A few days? A week? His girlfriend doesn’t like being seen in public with him with only half a beard. I think […]
It’s been cooler out. If for no other reason, I know this because the cat’s slept on the bed the last two nights. Ricki’s been there all morning, too. Sorry it’s a little blurry. I didn’t want to disturb her, so held the camera over my head and zoomed in to get this shot.
Isn’t […]
I have no business buying patterns, even if they are only $5.50. But I did. I couldn’t help myself. I saw this button on Stacey’s blog, and was intrigued.
The knit along for this sweater looks like it’s winding down a bit, so I doubt I’ll join. Thanks to Zonda’s and Lynn’s posts last month […]
I got a newsletter from Tahki * Stacey Charles the other day. I fell in love with this gray sweater. It resembles a sweater I knit years ago with some French boucle. I love that sweater, and still get compliments on it. This one looks like it would be even more fun to knit, […]
On the lap blanket’s future, Angela said:
Me? Thoughts? No. I just really like the way it looks now!
You’re a dear! But you see, the whole point of this exercise was to use up that dark colored yarn from the old six-hour sweater, and I still have about half a ball and some bits of […]
The two corners have been knitted up. Finally. I must have knit the first one four or five times going back and forth between a s1k2tog psso, and a knit three together, and actually doing a decrease on every row instead of every other row—this last works but unless you’re in a hurry to get […]
This has evidently been getting emailed around since June. I just got it the other day. I had to go find the web site. The site itself, other than this page, I haven’t looked at yet, so can’t make any comments about it as a whole. However, I love the progression on this page, showing […]
Woohoo! I’ve only had time for a brief perusal, but so far I’m definitely in love with two pairs of socks, Cablenet and Diamante. The Diamante socks sound like they’re designed for larger feet, something I’ll have to fix for my short boxy feet, but that’s okay. I can deal with that. I love the […]
Lap blanket
No picture at the moment (sorry), but I got block ten knitted at a friend’s house on Saturday evening. Yippee! I even started one of the corners. I have to take a look at what I’ve done on the corner in the light of day to see if it’ll work or not. Fingers crossed.

The blanket
I haven’t done much on the lap blanket this week. Almost nothing. I picked up the stitches along the side for block ten, and have knit a few rows. Between the weather (hot), and paperwork (ick) I just haven’t had the time for it I would have wanted. I’m starting to get excited about […]
