I was looking at Mim’s blog this morning, and saw this: Ruth is gathering information regarding the amount of yarn used to knit a sock round. Send her your numbers, and she’ll enter you in her contest.
I ripped out that ghastly knitting experiment that I showed you the other day. I have all new […]
I have to say that I’m very glad I took Dave’s advice on Saturday, and left the house nearly two hours before I was due to meet Anne, Kim (sadly blogless), and Jocelyn in Encinitas for lunch, a little knitterly companionship and fun. Encinitas is a small coastal town about 20 miles north of San […]
I have a couple more Dulcavina pictures for you. The first one is with the sides and end pulled out and pinned down. Before taking the second picture I pulled out all the pins, picked up the end of the stole, “fluffed” it, laid it down again, and then took the picture. I’m booking right […]
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:
Link to your tagger and post the rules on […]
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, […]
It seems like years since I posted in my blog. But you see, we were out of town all last week. Just got back yesterday afternoon. We were so exhausted from driving more than a thousand miles in two days (actually 1,086 miles/1,749 kilometers), that we were in bed and asleep before 9 pm.
I […]
I drove over to Kristie’s house on Saturday morning. I was so excited about seeing the Yarn Harlot that day that I completely forgot to take my new yarn and my finished shawl for her to see. What a dunce. I did remember to get her blocking wires back to her. That’s something, anyway. I […]
Oh. My. Goodness. I noted an interest in participating in a tea swap over on Ravelry early in the summer. Didn’t hear anything about it for quite a while, then completely forgot it until I got an email message from Christina. Seems we’d been paired a month before, and she hadn’t realized it, either. Goodness. […]
Watching the ponies
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, […]
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 […]
