Seven things

Wednesday, March 12, 2008

I’ve been tagged. Not just by one person, but by two. For the same meme. I know it’s taken me a while to get back to you, Christina and Angela, but I finally have. Thank you both very much for thinking of me! Here are the rules:

A finish & some swatching

Friday, March 7, 2008

As I told you the other day, before this flu thing hit me I finished up the Serpentine Mitts. At least, I thought I told you about that. Maybe I just thought about it really hard. It’s really hard to tell the difference when your brain’s full of snot. Anyway, I did finish them. Just […]

Not as bad

Wednesday, March 5, 2008

Though far from well, I guess I’m improving. We’ll say I don’t feel as poorly as I did the other day. I’m knitting again, and that’s always a good sign. Poor Dave is still trying to cough up a lung. If he doesn’t start improving soon, he’s agreed to go to the doctor. Thank you […]

Less than 1 gram

Tuesday, February 12, 2008

I’m very glad that I didn’t try to knit that extra pattern repeat before starting the edging pattern. Very glad. When I was done knitting I had less than 1 gram of yarn left as it was. Talk about close!

  

Now it looks like this…

I got a lot done on my Illusions sock yesterday […]

B is for blue

Monday, February 4, 2008

I’m a couple days late for “B” and the ABC Along. Sigh.
I’m still feeling a bit blue about the blue Mingus sock. I haven’t done a thing with it since I tried it on late last week, and it was, uh, a bit tough to tug over my heel. I really don’t want to […]

Who, me?

Wednesday, January 30, 2008

On Monday my dear friend Kristie gave me an award! I could well be wrong (please don’t be angry if I am), but I don’t think I’ve gotten any sort of blogging award before. I’m flattered, tickled pink, all smiles. Thank you so much! The official rules of this award are:
Give the award to […]

Calendar winner!
When only three people sign up for a giveaway, a random number generator really isn’t needed. Eeny-meeny-miney-mo would work just as well. But since the participants weren’t here in the room with me, I ran the number generator anyway. And, drum roll please… DonnaC wins the calendar! Donna, you probably haven’t seen my email […]

O.M.G.

Okay. That was fun. Way fun. Lots of fun. Did I say it was fun?
Kristie and I had such a marvelous time at TNNA that I can’t even begin to tell you how much fun we had. We talked to tons of fabulous people such as Kaffe Fassett, Cookie A., Kaffe Fassett, Kristin Nicholas, […]

A holiday dinner

Wednesday, December 5, 2007

The dinner
Once upon a time Dave and I gathered up our friends for a holiday dinner. We did them five years in a row before things like life and babies got in the way. The life thing settled down a bit, the kids got older, and it was time to do it again. Saturday, December […]

Birthday

Tuesday, December 4, 2007

Another year’s gone by. It’s my birthday again! Wow. Amazing. Don’t know what all will be going on here today. At some point we’ll wander over to the pub for a birthday beer. Dave has a nice dinner planned, taking full advantage of the fabulous leftovers from Saturday night’s feast—I’ll tell you about that soon. […]
