A bit of this and that…
It’s the time of year to submit your finished scarves to the Red Scarf Project. If you need a free pattern to knit, there’s a pretty cabled scarf pattern available over on Knitting Daily.
Ahoy, mateys. It’s Talk Like a Pirate Day! Cap’ns Chumbucket and Slappy have two books […]
As you no doubt figured out from yesterday’s brief post, we are home again. Yea! I have a few more photos from Vegas to share with you before we get to the knitting. First up: Dave in the little tiny kitchen in our suite. Next: our view at night. As nice as it is to […]
I actually have progress pictures for you—first time in ages! Let’s start with Algernon. The second one is almost done. I guess you can tell by this what decision I came to yesterday. Yup. Gotta finish the sock. How could I not? So close! If I’d been more awake last night I would have just […]
Yup. I’m in Vegas right now. With Dave, of course. We’re here to use up some timeshare points before they expire, so it’s not so much a vacation as a change of venue. Three laptop computers on the dining room table, a high-speed Internet connection, plenty of air conditioning, and we’re in like flint.
Once […]
Yarn crawl
I played hookey most of Friday. Went on a mini yarn crawl with Kristie and Denise (sadly blogless). I picked Denise up at our regular Monday night meeting place, then drove on to Kristie’s house. From there Kristie drove. She has OnStar, so we never get lost any more. Yea! We piled into Kristie’s […]
I haven’t ripped out the huge bag yet. I did some poking around on Ravelry, and found Angela’s Fabulous Felted Bag (on Ravelry). Before and after felting sizes, and gauge are all listed on the pattern. I had one little thing that I wanted clarified, asked, and received a very nice response from Angela within […]
I don’t have much today. Just a few things. I’m too tired to think past that. Got up some time between 4:00 and 5:00, and slept poorly while I was in bed. Nearly got up at 1:00… It was amazing that I lasted in bed as long as I did. Let’s see. Oh yeah. Socks. […]
It doesn’t just seem like it. I really have been getting a lot of books lately. It’s been wonderful! About a one and a half weeks ago I got an old stitch dictionary from Mon Tricot, 1030 stitches. Won it on eBay. It’s a little beaten. It’s a little shopworn. It’s spine has dinks, its […]

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:
