Trying it again

Saturday, August 11, 2007

Maybe it just needed to be deactivated and reactivated in order to work? I dunno. I’m trying the fancy captcha software again. Please, please, please let me know if you have trouble leaving me a comment (email link is in my sidebar, near the top, under the picture of Ricki), and I’ll start the search […]

Knits

Thursday, August 9, 2007

I’ve been pawing through the Interweave Knits fall issue that arrived the other day. At first glance—and second through fifth—I decided that I have got to knit Eunny Jang’s new pattern, Tangled Yoke. OMG. It’s fabulous. Love at first sight. I don’t know how in the world she had time to design a sweater with […]

Sweatshirt progress

Wednesday, August 8, 2007

Finally a little progress to show you. There’s a visible sleeve on one side of the sweatshirt sweater now. It’s gotten small enough in diameter that I made the move to all double pointed needles. It’s much easier, really, than using a circular for part of it, and two double pointed needles for one short […]

Knitterly stuffs

Tuesday, August 7, 2007

We all know how fabulous Anne’s bee shawl (Bee Fields) is. But now there’s a stole version of it, and one of her test knitters knit it in black. You have to see it. It’s fabulous.
I knit for a bit on all three of my projects yesterday. The fuzzy gray sleeve is a little […]

Our good friend Mikki is a member of Sons of Italy, and as such, invited us to join the group for an evening at the races at the Los Alamitos Race Course. For a reasonable fee, we got preferred parking, entrance into the Vessels Club, and a tasty dinner. In addition to Mikki, […]

A mystery revealed

Friday, August 3, 2007

I finally finished up the Mystery Stole clue four late last night, just in time for clue 5 to be revealed this morning. And, ooh. Melanie, girlfriend, you are amazingly creative! I’m sure I’m not saying anything at this point that hasn’t been bandied about the Internet a bunch of times already this morning when […]

Yarn!

Thursday, August 2, 2007

I’ve been meaning to tell you for ages about the yarn sale that Kristie and I went to at Newton’s last month for their annual Christmas in July sale. I haven’t been to their sale for eons, and it was quite fun to go again. Of course, the wonderful knitterly company had nothing to do […]

I’m back!

Wednesday, August 1, 2007

I’m sure you’ve noticed by the distinct lack of posts of late that I’ve been out of town. Yup. Once every ten years Dave and I go up to Ogden, Utah to celebrate the fact that he graduated high school and to see old friends. Last weekend was the celebration of having graduated 30 years […]
