I’m leaving this afternoon for Pittsburgh. Right now, I’m running around like crazy, trying to pack, settle things with the cats, clean a little, and finish my paper before heading out. So I leave you with (very unglamorous) photos of my car knitting.
See? I don’t always blog about all my knitting. […]

Needles: Susan Bates dpns, US 1 (2.25, I think)
Thoughts:
1. I love Koigu. Can I say it again? I love Koigu. I picked this […]

UGH! This is the worst. I just wrote a long post and then lost the whole thing. Motivation to post = zero.
What must be said? The Northern Lights mittens (shown here basking in the thursday afternoon sun) are on hold, while I attempt (and attempt. and attempt.) to rechart the fingers. We’ll see if I […]

Wow. That’s all I can say to the incredible response to my last post. Thank you all for your suggestions and advice. I decided to plug along and see if I liked the colors any better and if the southwestern feel of the mitten started to grow on me. And, well, it has. I’m still […]

Thanks for all your hopes of health. I slept a lot last night (I’m almost embarassed to admit how much) and feel much better today. And — wonder of wonders — I went outside to take pictures and found that it is warmer outside than it is in my house. It’s deliciously, […]

Cream of wheat with maple syrup, in a bowl thrown by a friend, eaten with my favorite spoon (yes, I have a favorite spoon. That’s another one of my collections).
Green tea (Sencha green and a green and white tea blend) in my giraffe mug (perfect size for tea).
All is right with the world. Hopefully, I’ll […]

Tada! My UFO- Challenge for February. This skein of Schaefer Anne was well on it’s way to becoming a lace Clapotis before I lost interest in it. Last night, I pulled it out and ripped it back. Now it’s waiting for the perfect pattern. (Notice, I’m taking care of all the “easy” UFOs first…ripping out […]

Quick post — At home and in life, I use Firefox as my internet browser of choice. But today, I’m visiting a friend and got to view my blog using internet explorer for the first time. I noticed that my sidebar is stacked at the bottom, at the end of all the posts, and in […]

Lookie what I got! When Canon said they’d send me my new camera in two business days, they weren’t kidding. It came in the mail yesterday. So now I’ve got a regular FO-fest for you guys (with more to come… one of my new FOs now resides in Kentucky, where I’ll be headed this afternoon […]
