When I was up visiting Mom, we drove over to Martinez for lunch one day, and to try to see where the controversial beavers are living in Alhambra Creek. You can read about some of what’s been happening since the beavers came to town here and here on their blog. There’s a small spot for […]
Just a couple quick things for you before I go back to bed. Yeah. Been up most of the night. Spent too much time with the old dust in the closet yesterday—my sinuses are suffering—but I got a lot done.
We have a clear winner in the naming poll: Midnight Garden. It also happens to […]
Yup. You heard me right. A pigeon. Not that we haven’t had pigeons here before. We have. A lot of them. They used to nest on one of our decks. We took steps… This one was different. This pigeon was banded.
Our visiting pigeon flew in about 6:30 or so, and he stuck around until […]
I’m continuing to work on the swatches for the Posh shawl. Here’s a long swatch, in my style, piling one stitch pattern on top of another, as I’m too lazy to bind off and start again just because I’m changing stitches.
The bottom of this picture shows a stitch that I dearly love. Not only […]
Posh yarn arrived!
Finally. It took ages for the British and U.S. postal services to do their combined thing and deliver this fiber-y goodness to my doorstep. The yarn from Dee got here on Monday, just in time for me to take it to knit knight for show and tell. It’s so pretty! And soft. Yes, […]
While I wait for the yarn to arrive from Dee, I’ve been cleaning out my knitting to-do list. The socks, as you saw, were finished last week. The last of the small shop samples got themselves knit up late yesterday. I got four samples out of the one small ball of yarn I had. There […]
Yesterday was the single best day I’ve had in… ages. Start to finish, it was a marvelous day. Thank you one and all for your birthday wishes! They mean the world to me.
Lunch with the Monday night crowd was tons of fun. And yummy! We went to El Cholo in La Habra. The food […]
I can’t believe it’s Wednesday afternoon already. Where does the time go? I’ve only time for a quick post today, but I wanted to give you something to read and look at.
Cardigan
I’ve finished knitting the West Coast Swing cardigan, sewing the seams, and weaving in the ends. Now to find a good button, and […]
Site move
You may have noticed the complete absence of my blog and/or pattern shop over the last few days. It’s because we moved to a new server, and as the way of such things, our new location takes a bit to trickle through the Internet at large. My other pages are moving today, well, the […]
Yup. Again. Yes, I removed the green background from both sidebars. There’s a light green line now between the left-most sidebar and the posts. I might make it a little darker. I tried having it the same color as the green text, but that was too much. Much too much.
I found new gallery software, […]
