Monkeys Needing a Home

And I don’t mean Jem. Though he’s getting close!
I finished my Monkey Swap Pal’s Monkey Socks.
I ♥ the yarn. Shawn didn’t like it, but what does he know?
Anyway, they are done and now I have to do a little Monkey shopping. Etsy has loads of great stuff. I ♥ Etsy. Just not sure what I [...]

Take a look at this Monkey

I finished it last night, after updating my blog. I told you I was further along then the pictures showed. And I have more than enough yarn. Shawn found his scale and we measured. I was really worrying that I didn’t have enough. And you know, looking at a wound ball doesn’t help. Anyway, it’s [...]

A Productive Weekend

Saturday and Sunday proved to be a bit productive.

I worked, a little bit, on the Wheat Ear Yoke Sweater from Interweave Knits. I am working the sweater on US 6’s and 7’s, instead of 7’s and 8’s.

I’m not too sure about the stitch definition though. I really think it would look better if I went [...]

That Sweater is Wicked Yo!

I finished Wicked last night while watching “Dead Silence”. Not that I had much to do, just finish the second sleeve. All the same, it’s like Second Sock Syndrome, but more like Second Sleeve Syndrome. I get to the second sleeve and man, oh man, the project takes a windfall in priority status. But I [...]

Peanut Butter and Jellyfish

Strange as it sounds, I’ve rediscovered Peanut Butter. I actually don’t care for PBJ. But I do like Peanut Butter. And I do like Jelly. Yesterday I was wanting a snack and decided to have a piece of bread with Creamy Peanut Butter and it was like I found an old friend. Odd, ain’t it?

Jellyfish. [...]

There’s My Girl

It seems like it wasn’t that long ago when I posted about being pregnant. Or that we had gone to our ultrasound and that we learned we were having a girl. It really doesn’t seem all that long ago that I posted about her birth. But it’s been almost 8 months and the time has [...]

I’m alive

I just wanted you all to know, I’m alive!
Surgery went fine. Still sore. And tired.
I’ll update when I feel a bit better.
Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers!

Weekend, (and movie review)

I’ve been keeping busy. I must keep busy. Thursday is my upcoming surgery and while I’m 99.9% positive it’s what I want to do, crazy as it may sound, I still feel like I’m sort of losing something. So I’ve been knitting and reading. AND last night, Shawn and I went to dinner at Buca [...]

I lied, no pictures today

So I joined yet another swap. The Monkey Sock Swap. And I can justify it. It’s August. In 4 1/2 months all the knitters that I know of will be pulling out their hair, trying to make Christmas gifting deadlines. I will not. You see, I don’t do Christmas knitting. There is a good reason [...]

It Gets Better

Post number two without pictures, though I do have some that I will load later on tonight.

We are going to the Ventura County Fair, but the car is going to cost somewhere close to $500 + to fix. *sigh*

And I just found out I have ringworm. *bleh* What’s worse is when I was thinking [...]
