Woohoo! They’re done. They’re the same length as each other, they’re not too short!, and they fit. Yippee! I can’t wait to wear them.

Needles: size 1, Crystal Palace bamboo double pointed, set of […]
It seems I’ve been having trouble with email, and didn’t know. Server issues. Dave says he found an anomaly (no, I didn’t ask for specifics; I didn’t want to know), and he believes he’s fixed it. I need to do a little simple testing. I need volunteers to help me.
If in the recent past you’ve […]
Yup. It’s been two whole years. I can’t believe it! Time certainly flies, especially when you’re having fun.
In true blog-land fashion, in order to celebrate I’m going to give away some yarn. Unlike some yarn giveaways I’ve seen, it isn’t much, but it is Rowan. To be more specific, it’s Rowan’s Rowanspun 4-ply, […]
My hero. My dearest husband is a magician of highest order. When he got home last night I explained my problem with not being able to get the yarn off of the ball winder, he walked over to it, pulled, and off it came. Woohoo!
Some time in the wee hours when I was not […]
I’m seeing green. Hm. That doesn’t sound quite right. It’s true, though. Here’s the evidence.
While digging through the stash a week or two back, I found this green lace weight yarn. Two huge hanks of it. I don’t remember buying it. Where’d I get it? What’s it made of? I don’t know. No idea. […]
I’ve been knitting along on the second Conwy sock every evening before dinner. Honest. Truly. Not that you could tell.
I know. You say, “Laura, it’s bigger; I see progress.” Ah, but what you don’t see is a finished second sock, and with the number of hours I’ve been knitting on this foul thing, […]
It feels like it’s been practically forever since I’ve blogged! Blame it on QuickBooks. I think, however, that except for the dreaded PayPal account, I have everything entered, and all accounts reconciled. Whew. I’ll tackle the PayPal beast another day. I can make no sense of their totals. Things that apparently clear the account on […]
I rarely do it, but I’ve done it. I’ve quit reading Vanity Fair, put it down for an indefinite period of time. It’s not that it’s a bad book, in fact I’ve been enjoying the story, I’m simply frustrated by the author’s continual asides to the reader, some of which go on for pages without […]
The second Conwy sock now has most of its heel flap. The turning will happen this evening, then to the gussets and the foot. Me thinks I’m nearly half done. Haven’t decided which sock yarn to tackle next: the periwinkle Panda Cotton or the woodland Fleece Artist. I’m considering using the Woodland yarn for these, […]
