I showed the vine shawl (Dulcavina?) to Kristie yesterday afternoon when we got together, and she agreed. That black Malabrigo Lace is half the diameter of the other Malabrigo Lace, and that includes the gorgeous Tuareg that she’s knitting doing her test knit with. And it just doesn’t look right. We talked about the potential […]
The day started fine. Early. Too stupid early, but fine nonetheless. I had my day all planned out. Everything was going along just fine. Took my shower. All nice and clean. Started to clean out my ears, best time to get the guck out is when the ears are warm and damp. Pulled the cotton […]
I’m clearly still catching up on the sleep I missed last week. Gads. Do you, or have you ever, suffered from insomnia? For about ten years (well, maybe eight) I suffered from insomnia the second (or was it the third?) week of September every year. That was odd. I don’t know what caused it. I […]
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 […]
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 […]
My head is filled with snot. I can’t breathe, much less think. I have a fever. My eyes keep watering, because of the snot. I seem have that terrible bug that’s been going around. What’s even better, is Dave has it, too. I got it from him. Even Dave’s too sick to work, and that’s […]
It’s been a while since I shared any photos of the green shawl with you, mostly because though bigger, it really hasn’t changed in quite a while. But I finished off those last two rows last night, and started binding off. I’m getting close to the half-way point, and hope to get it done tonight. […]
Ravelry is definitely addicting. Most definitely looking forward to Friday when my Internet connection, thanks to Dave’s efforts, should be magically faster again.
Thanks to the slowness of the Internet connection, I’ve gotten quite a bit done on the third second forget-me-not sock. Only three repeats plus three rows left to do before the toe […]
Today’s SBQ was suggested by Kathryn.
How many needles do you use during a project? Have you ever loaded up a needle for every color? Do you use a new needle for every project or recycle your favorite needle?
I use one needle for multiple projects. When I rotate I put the empty needle on […]
Ouch
There’s this molar. The one all the way in the back, lower left. It’s been a little finicky for a while. You know. A little sensitive to heat and cold. Some days more than others. I knew that I’d have to get it taken care of before too long, but as such things go, I […]
