A name and a finished pair

Thursday, June 19, 2008

Huge, huge thank-yous to everyone who voted in my little sock-naming poll. I loved every vote, including all the write-ins from folks who voted “other.” Quite a few write-ins were for the yarn color, Figgy Pudding. Other write-ins included Lacy Ladders (Jan is sadly blogless); ZigZag River, Zig Zag Railway, Traverse, and Traverse Trail (Kristie); […]

Canterbury Bells

Sunday, June 1, 2008

Kathryn is one of the speediest knitters out there. No, really. She is. She finished knitting her Canterbury Bells stole only a few days after I finished knitting my scarf, and I was already half way done when she started. See? Fast! Huge thanks to you again, my dear, for your wonderful test knitting skills, […]

Someone’s in the kitchen

Monday, April 7, 2008

Our house is upside down. It’s because of the hill, and the way the streets are laid out here. We’re on the downhill side of the street, so you walk into the house on the top floor where the living room, dining room, family room, and kitchen are. The bedrooms are downstairs, and my office, […]
