Knitting things

Yarn shop link
Ooh, Angela, what gorgeous yarn. Thank you for sharing the link to Spritely Goods. They most definitely have some yummy yarns to choose from.
Reading about knitting
I’ve been reading A Good Yarn by Debbie Macomber. I happened to be finishing up the last few chapters while sitting here at my computer, so was able […]

A touch of purple

Thursday, July 13, 2006

I think I must have mentioned at some point that my maternal grandmother’s favorite color was purple. She decorated her living room around her love of purple—though her decorator wouldn’t let her do the entire room in that color, yes huge thanks are due to that decorator. Grandma also had a few other purple bits […]

Finally

Out with June
I was digging around in my stash yesterday, looking for purple yarns and found tons of blue ones. I was going to do a blue yarn pile for you in June, but never got around to it. So here you go. Lots of lovely blues. I have more, too. This pile is made […]

Out with May

Thursday, June 1, 2006

Being, uh, somewhat under the weather in May, I didn’t get all my May spectrum photos posted. There are a lot more green things around my house (and in my closet) than in these photos, but they’ll have to wait for some other photo project. For now this montage… Starting at the top left is […]

Feeling sheepish

Tuesday, May 23, 2006

Is three a herd? Three doesn’t seem to be enough to constitute a flock. “Herd” sounds too lofty for a trio of sheep as well. The yellow April sheep arrived the day of my surgery. It was an interesting puffy envelope, so Dave brought it with him the next day when he came to visit. […]

Project Spectrum: May!

Tuesday, May 2, 2006

It’s May. That means that the awful yellow/orange month is over, and we’re into the fabulous green month of May. Woohoo! If you hadn’t already guessed by the color of my blog, my board, and my online store, yes, I do like the color green. In fact, the walls of my home office are green, […]

Diversions

Monday, April 24, 2006

Thank you all so very much for your kind and sympathetic messages. It helps a lot to know you’re all out there. Web friends are awesome.

Since a couple of you asked, I’m expected at the hospital on Wednesday, May 3, at 7 a.m., and the surgery is scheduled to start at 9 a.m. Pacific […]

A little of that

Tuesday, April 18, 2006

A tiny bit more yellow, some of the silk flowers in another cobalt vase.

Yup. I changed my Yahoo avatar. I’d really, really rather be on a deserted tropical beach with my dearest Dave right now. Sigh. Sounds lovely, doesn’t it? I sure think so.

Angela, when counting stitches for Winding the Skeins it’s pretty easy. Since […]

Winding the Skeins
Well… I only put in about 400 stitches last week. Egads. At this rate it’ll take the rest of my natural life to finish this piece. Good thing I like it. LOL I’ve now stitched to the far right edge of page one. I’m nowhere near the bottom edge of the page. It’ll […]

A little of this…

Thursday, April 13, 2006

Someone over on the Townsend SAL shared a link to a cool kilt sock pattern. Can’t say I’m up to knitting knee socks any time soon, but I’m thinking I should be able to adapt this to a yarn and sock-length that I’m willing to deal with without too much trouble. I think.

Angela shared […]
