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 […]
I can’t believe it. I just don’t loose things. I don’t. I don’t remember when the last time was that I actually lost something. But I’ve gone and lost the fifth sock needle that I’m using to knit the Monkey socks. Now, I can continue on four, but it’s most inconvenient—not to mention frustrating. I […]
I’ve been waiting to share my progress on Winding the Skeins with you until I got the first woman’s face stitched. When it was part-way done she looked diseased or something, but now you can really see her. I have a little left to do on her shoulder, and the sky on the right needs […]
Ravelry is definitely addicting. Most definitely looking forward to Friday when my Internet connection, thanks to Dave’s efforts, should be magically faster again.
Thanks to the slowness of the Internet connection, I’ve gotten quite a bit done on the third second forget-me-not sock. Only three repeats plus three rows left to do before the toe […]
Have you ever noticed that I sort of have a thing for flowers? Well, I fed it last week. I heard that The Silver Lining was having a little sale, not on the web site, but through email only, only some of the patterns are on sale, but the discount is amazing.
I did what […]
Winding the Skeins
I haven’t worked on Winding the Skeins for almost a year. What with all the frustration with the skin color on her hand, I just didn’t feel like it. She’s been starting to call to me again, finally, and so when I finished Stepsisters I picked her up. Sometime between July and now […]
Today’s SBQ was suggested by Kathryn.
How many needles do you use during a project? Have you ever loaded up a needle for every color? Do you use a new needle for every project or recycle your favorite needle?
I use one needle for multiple projects. When I rotate I put the empty needle on […]
Saturday at Sue’s
There was a mini get together of our local stitching group at Sue’s house on Saturday. I say “mini” GTG because, including Sue, there were only three of us. Sue, Darla, and me. We may have been a small group, but we had a marvelous time. We shared current projects, recently finished stuff, […]
In some ways it seems like forever since I started stitching this, in other ways I can’t believe I’m done already. Without further ado, here she is:
Pattern: Stepsisters by The Silver Lining
Stitch count: 242 x 113
Finished size: approximately 15 x 7
Fabric: 32-count lambswool jobelan, 2 over 2
Time: started July 23, 2006, finished May 10, […]
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, […]
