A giveaway! (non-knitting)
Aside from all the other projects I try to cram in on snow days is catching up on laundry. MyBlogSpark a while back offered me the opportunity to check out some laundry products from Seventh Generation. I was very excited about it - I try to do as little harm to the environment as possible… Continue reading A giveaway! (non-knitting)
A different sort of groan.
Way back, like in 2006, I participated in a KAL for "Fans of the Lime and Violet Podcast can show their colors with Lisa Souza Lime & Violet sock yarn. The projects are as varied as Lime & Violet's audience -- the common thread is the awesome yarn." I remember that I worked on these… Continue reading A different sort of groan.
Things I Can’t Stop Thinking About
(a.k.a. Brain Dump)1. Pinterest - my newest online obsession. It's a "social catalog to collect and share things you love" - so when you are blog surfing or catalog shopping and you come across a picture / color combo / project / whatever that you love and adore you "Pin it" to your pinboard. So… Continue reading Things I Can’t Stop Thinking About
Flittens for the win!
Yesterday, even among the drips (which, thankfully, have slowed back down to one drip today), I finished my first true 2011 object. All the knitting was done this year.

The problem with everything being digital these days? When there is an internet outage (thanks,… Continue reading Distracted
That’s a lot of snow.
Phrase of the day around here on Wednesday - That's a lot of snow. I think one of us said it at least once an hour. I am one of those people that generally does not mind snow. I live in New England. It gets cold in the winter. Part of the New England charm… Continue reading That’s a lot of snow.

Presenting Cloud Chaser by Indigirl Amy Swenson, knit up as a sample for Lorna's Laces (to be shown at the TNNA Winter Show happening this weekend!)(Gah, the photos came out less than stellar - apologies. I should know better.) This was knit in "Honor" an… Continue reading First FO
1.1.11
Hello 2011. 2010 was a pretty good year on the whole - we weren't thrown too many loops and there were a lot of good times and laughter. I am easing into 2011 and my thoughts for the new year are a bit scattered - there is so much that I hope to do (and… Continue reading 1.1.11
Two More!
Given that much of the gift knitting was done and then put aside, my pictures are all over the place. Today I found another photo on my phone that I should have posted yesterday and I was finally able to snap the last knitted gift today! For my brother's girlfriend I made a little pencil… Continue reading Two More!
