What kind of care do you take of your books? Let’s review, shall we?

Are you careful with the spines? Or do you crack your books open to make them lay flat? I’m very careful with the spines. Even after several readings you can rarely tell I’ve even opened a particular book.
Do you […]

Progress on the afghan is being made. I’ve reached a point, however, where it doesn’t look all that much different from day to day, so I think I’ll stop doing daily pictures of it. I’m still somewhat concerned about the overall length of the piece. Mom likes to wrap her feet in afghans, while having […]

When did I start this post? I’ve lost track. This morning? Yesterday some time? I have no idea. No, I didn’t forget. Other things were more pressing. I know. Really. What could possible be more important than blogging? I ask you. Hrmph. ;-)
Anyway, whenever it was, I was visiting Kim—well, her blog—and saw that […]

Finally. Here are the promised photos of the scarf I made for my uncle. I decided to name it Hard Candy Scarf. The stitch pattern I used is an elongation of a border pattern, and it reminded Dave of hard candy wrappers.

Knitterly things

Let’s see…

I am an only child. Dave is also an only child. Therefore, I have no nieces or […]

I had a bunch of things lined up to share with you today, but the day’s gotten away from me. Arg. No time. Hopefully I’ll be able to make up for it tomorrow. For now I have this. The latest on the afghan.
Kristie wondered if maybe I was getting in some major knitting time. […]

I read about the second annual blogger’s silent poetry reading in honor of the Feast of Brigid—a.k.a. Groundhog Day—in both Wendy’s and Deb’s blogs this morning. Here’s my entry. My great uncle would occasionally awaken my mother and her siblings reciting this in a loud voice. When I was a child, I always knew that […]

I took Kristie’s advice yesterday. I bought the Nodding Violet sock yarn. I am quite excited. Can’t wait for it to arrive. Weeeee! You can bet I’ll be scouring my sock pattern books in anticipation. I might do a feather and fan pattern I have, or…
Thank you Jenna and Kristie for the nice comments […]
