I Don’t ♥ Wool, THERE I said it!

A travesty, I know. But to clarify, I hate cheap wool. You know the kind that turns to crap the minute it hits water. I’d show you a picture, but I’m too disappointed, discouraged, angry and sad all at the same time. Remember that Shawl Collared Cardigan? You know, the one I knit for the [...]

Take THAT FO!

{ O.K., I’m going to try this again. Last night I posted this, but it ate my post and since it was getting late I didn’t want to type everything again. Cross your fingers. And toes! }

K, so the other day I was quite disappointed in the weather forecast. We were supposed to have “storms” [...]

Spring is in the air (sort of)

If you knew me, I mean really knew me, then you would know that I change my mind often. It’s not that I’m indecisive. Sometimes something more appealing comes along and I decide to take the path less taken. And while I really liked the red, black and white Ripple colors I had first chosen, [...]

Sally Sold Seashells by the Seashore

Ok, I have no idea who Sally is. But today’s post is sponsored by the letter “S” as per the meme that Bekka posted on her blog, (and she got it from Metaphorical Magpie). Basically you take a letter, (any letter), and then you list ten things that you ♥ that start with that letter. [...]

One Big Bag

Well, I didn’t save my money. Shawn bought it for me:
What a great guy huh? Actually, he bought it for me because he went out and did a little retail therapy shopping for himself. Then he decided to do some retail therapy shopping for me. (Gotta ♥ that!) It’s a Namaste Messenger Bag in [...]

I MUST be InSaNe

First and foremost, Happy Saint Patrick’s Day! We didn’t do much, but I did make cupcakes. I truly believe that any, and all, holidays should be celebrated with cupcakes. They are just too yummy! So I made four leaf clover cupcakes. Clever, aren’t I?

We didn’t do anything yesterday, aside from that. To tell the truth, [...]

The Makings of Something Special

It took three tries with the short row heel. And I still don’t get it. I do the beginning of the short rows fine. It’s the reverse short row shaping which I don’t get. (And apparently I need to “get it” because the heel of this pattern is a short row heel.) So, what is [...]

Jumping on the Bandwagon

I got a big surprise in the mail yesterday! (Totally unexpected too!) My pal, Ronnie, from the Favorite Color Swap sent me a wonderful package! There are 10 skeins of gorgeous yellow cotton and a skein of Rowan Magpie. There’s enough cotton to make a tank top too! There was also a delish smelling bag [...]

Oh Happy Day!

Yesterday was a good day. Shawn came home early. Jem behaved, (it was his day off). Scout was smiling. And I got to knit for two hours uninterrupted. (That just doesn’t happen around the house too often.) I took a little ride to Simply Knitting for their Sit and Stitch night and finished these:

I [...]

Just a few things

If I were a cat, this is what I would do all day too:

How in the world could a cat not want to be a cat? How in the world could a human not be utterly and completely, 100% jealous? I know I am. Right now the head honcho is perched on the balcony, tauting [...]
