I love fuzzy yarn. There’s something, I dunno, comforting about it. No, it’s more than that. It’s not just comforting. I want to curl up with it, hold it, cuddle it, wrap myself in it. Be wrapped in its comforting folds. It goes deeper than that. Primal. Basic. Beyond yarn. Beyond warmth. Especially when it’s […]
I succumbed to peer yarn pressure yesterday, and cast on for the scarf I swatched over the weekend with the Douceur et Soie from Knit One Crochet Too. Oh. My. It’s like knitting with air. Only softer.
The cables are soft and dreamy. The lace perfection. Because of the combination of knit and purl stitches […]
I’m still reeling from being gone for better than the first half of the month, and all the people and places I saw. That’s not keeping me from making plans for the next trip: Stitches West 2009 up in Santa Clara at the end of next month. I’ll be driving up with blogless Denise, and […]
We returned from Mexico on Saturday the 17th. I was here for oh, a good ten minutes, then I was gone again. What, you ask, could possibly get me out of my house after being gone most of the month? Well, TNNA in San Diego, of course! I jumped in my car, and about 90 […]
I’m off my game. I’ve been away from blogging for too long. I sat down to write up a great post about our first actual, real vacation in years and years, and… nothing. Nada. El zippo.
So, where to start? How about this? We’ll start with a very basic geography lesson. When people say they […]
The good news is that I’m home. I’m not home for three days—or worse, ten minutes. I’m home until late February. It’s so nice to be here again.
The bad news is that I am still accessing the Internet through Dave’s computer. My own probably works just fine, but the UPS that it plugs into […]
While I was visiting, Mom showed me some old pictures, all kept together in a frame in a sort of montage, that had belonged to her sister.
There are a couple of pictures of my aunt and uncle, one of my cousin when he was a boy, one of her favorite minister (he looks like […]
I’m back from Mom’s house. Her eye is doing very, very well. She nursed me through the worst of my cold. Then caught it. Poor Mom. At least the early part of her eye’s healing was done with before she came down with it.
I took some pictures while I was there, pictures of stuff […]
Just a quick little post to let you all know I’m alive and well, and home again. Hope to have a real post for you before too long… but probably not today.
I’ve been absent from my blog lately.
Have you noticed?
I’m currently about 400 miles from home, in the house where I grew up. Mom had cataract surgery on Monday, and I came up to take care of her. The surgery went extremely well. The surgeon is pleased. All that has gone as fine as can […]
