This weekend was good in terms of finishing objects - I finished a second pillow for our couch, and they have been immediately put to good use! And, while we were cleaning up for our dinner party last night, I went back through a knitting bag that had a few projects in it, in several… Continue reading Finished Objects

Knitting things: My last finished object of 2004, my first finished object of 2005: a pair of socks! My poor quality camera (on my ViewSonic Pocket PC) is not getting a good picture of them, it's just too dark today and the battery is still charging up, so I can't really move it. Anyway, the… Continue reading Snow Day = Possibilities

I know the year is coming to an end - I'm even looking forward to attending it's farewell party at my brother's in NY city on Friday - but some people are just getting too much of a jump on the new year. My latest magazines are February issues! And at Stop-and-Shop, the valentine's day… Continue reading Year-End Wrap Up And Other Thoughts

This holiday season was different for me for a lot of reasons - waking up without my family was one. But I loved waking up with Dan. We split up the families - saw my mom's side on Christmas Eve and Dan's mom's side on Christmas Day, then saw my Dad's folks at my parents… Continue reading Post-Christmas

I don't have… Continue reading Returned, A Married Woman

Thanksgiving, the wedding / part on friday. MY wedding - still seems surreal!

Miss Piggy's lines from the wedding at the… Continue reading Somebody’s Getting Married (No Knitting)

So, the wedding is now less than a week away! eep! I go back and forth between wanting to scream and shout and shreik to being so overwhelmed with emotion that I'm speechless (in a good way of course). I bought a yarn store gift certificate for my maid of honor today. And of course… Continue reading Stress Therapy

I wonder if the yarn that my secret pal 2 sent would work out ok in this pattern: Knit Poncho, Stitch Diva Studios... I'm not a big poncho person, but that might be cute... I wonder what to bring with me on the plane. According to the Transportation Security Admission (pdf file) knitting needles are… Continue reading Thinking About

Okay, we're just about at T minus 15 days till the wedding. I can't complain too much - our families get along, I've gotten pretty much everything I want and for the most part this whole process has been stress free. But now, I'm starting to do internal flip flops. I have a zillion things… Continue reading Stressed
