If you were told you could never again buy yarn, would would your last yarn purchase be? I think it would be Cascade 220. I really do. It’s versatile, there are a TON of colors, and it felts so well! If you were told you could never knit again, what would be the last thing you’d knit?? I’d make a felted bag. I really would. I’d think about a sweater, but I’m pretty sure it would be a purse. In a given year, how many times do you buy yarn? … [Read more...]

What a wonderful surprise!
September 22, 2008 by
I will say, that I am remiss on this. It happened on Friday, but things are so busy that today is the first day that I had to post… More on my busy weekend later. I have been spoiling the most wonderful person for Secret Pal 12. Her name is Sherri, and she blogs at Sherriknits.com. I’ve been having a great time spoiling her, and I’m pretty sure that she has been enjoying her boxes. Anyway, I sent her a reveal box last week, with some things I … [Read more...]
Sleep is over rated, right?
September 13, 2008 by
There has been a cat burglar hanging around my neighbourhood for a few weeks now. He comes in at night, through open windows, and takes small things… Watches, wallets, you know, things that are easily taken. Every night I go around the house and make sure that all the windows are locked, the doors are locked, and then I try to go to sleep. I try. Tonight I was up every hour on the hour. Some times Sean woke me… Some times Daisy woke … [Read more...]
Fall Interweave Knits
September 11, 2008 by
You know, it’s been a long time since I really wanted to knit something for myself. I look at the all the knitting magazines every month thinking, “yeah, I’ll never knit that”... This month is different. I keep looking at the Sidelines Top thinking, that would look really nice on me. I like everything about it. I like the color, I like the neckline, I like the length. Now, I’ve vowed that I can’t purchase any yarn, but … [Read more...]

Sean is so cute!
September 3, 2008 by
Susanna has requested a picture of Sean, which I am pleased to present… He will be six months old on Friday. We went shopping on Monday, and he was tired of shopping… But he refused to give up shopping… I think he is adorable, don’t you? Now, if only I could get my camera to focus where I want it to, rather than where it wants to. … [Read more...]
Back from Prague!
August 27, 2008 by
John and I had a wonderful time in Prague. I hated that it poured one day, but the Sunday we were there, was beautiful, and I really enjoyed the city. There will be pictures soon… Maybe. I’ve not been good with the pictures lately, which Zsusanna pointed out to me via Snail-mail. How bad is it when your blog friend has to send you Snail-mail and ask you to post pictures. That’s bad. On the way too and from Prague, I tried to start on a poncho for … [Read more...]
Sabercats lose the Arena Bowl
July 29, 2008 by
I just wanted to mention that my San Jose Sabercats lost the Arena Bowl on Sunday… They put up a very good fight, and I am very proud of them. The last minute of the game was some of the best football I’ve seen in a long time, and honestly, they tried their best. I know that they will try hard to go to Arena Bowl again next year, and next time, I will be there, with my cow bell, cheering them on. Go Cat’s! … [Read more...]
SP Question Week 7
July 29, 2008 by
What is(are) your favorite place(s) to knit? I love to knit in front of the television, especially when reality television is on… Big Brother, Project Runway, Top Chef, all my favorite shows to knit by. I also love to knit on the plane. It’s quiet, and I tend to get a lot of work done. What supplies (besides yarn & needles) make the setting perfect for knitting? Buttons! I love to have lots of buttons around for inspiration! One good button can … [Read more...]
lost days
July 24, 2008 by
My server went down, and I’ve lost a few days. I talked about Daisy mostly, who is fine. I’m getting over spending so much. There really isn’t any recourse anyway, is there? … [Read more...]
Look who’s talking…
