The weather has turned nice, and then WAY too hot, and now it's back to nice again. I introduced Lorelai to the sprinkler to give her a good soaking (maybe not the best mom move ever - she's been a bit under the weather this week, running warm, but not feverish - sure, let's get… Continue reading Bits of Stuff (there’s knitting this time!)

Assume Nothing at Home or Abroad
This latest stretch of blog silence was brought to you by my vacation to Martha's Vineyard. We (me, Dan & Lorax) spent a week in a house with 8 other adults and one child. Dan went to college with and roomed with 3 of the guys who were there, the 4th guy went to my… Continue reading Assume Nothing at Home or Abroad
Well, there’s that.
Yesterday we were dumped on with snow. No big deal for me - I can work from home. And this is what happens here - we always get snow in March. One year (1997 I think) we had a blizzard on April 1! I did have to take the Lorax to a check-up and lucky… Continue reading Well, there’s that.
Blahs and otherwise
My internet was a bit wonky and FUBAR since last Thursday, but now seems to be much better. (Blah#1)I made this little tiger for my Cocoa Swap pal, Sarah - she's starting culinary school! I had a lot of fun shopping for her and making this little guy. I used Barbara Prime's Tiger pattern -… Continue reading Blahs and otherwise
Looped
I think I've figured out Magic Loop - and I think I love it! I'm really amazed that a) it works! and b) why didn't I try to learn this sooner? Now I want to Magic Loop everything! I finished one iPhone Mitt - since it is one long tube, it's perfect for tv knitting,… Continue reading Looped
A little bit of everything.
Things are good in this little nutshell - busy, but good. On Sunday, I went up to Peacefulknitter's for a knitting potluck party. She is truly a "hostess with the mostess" - there was so much delicious food, lots of knitting, a yarn swap, yarn games and a yarn swap! Obviously there was a lot… Continue reading A little bit of everything.
Something is not right.
Figures. I profess my love for cables and they turn on me (pun intended. Groan.)After yesterday I was a bit at a standstill with my projects. I need to block the pieces of the Central Park Hoodie (hopefully today), I finished one mitten and it's a pay attention sort of pattern (not the best for… Continue reading Something is not right.
Thinking…
It's been a long (and short week). Betsy is in town, so we went out on Tuesday for a Yarn Crawl. We shop very differently than we used to - I think it's our experience now (and budgets, whatever.) Our first stop was to Sit'n Knit in Wethersfield - we especially love "The Bridge" -… Continue reading Thinking…
Central Park in progress
I've given in to my whims of being obsessed with out of season items - I'm going to do the afghan marathon for the ravelympics and I have started my central park hoodie. So far, I love everything about this project. I love the pattern, I love that it's on US9!!! I love that I've… Continue reading Central Park in progress
Internet Black Holes
What is it about sites like plurk and facebook - they just suck you in and WHOOSH, there goes an hour. Knitters have it tough though because we also have ravelry. I've been knitting on all sorts of various projects and have a few ideas brewing in my head. Two of which require some design… Continue reading Internet Black Holes
