Mondays are for Blogging

Posted in Knitting on February 26, 2007 | 1 Comment »

I really need to set aside some time just for blogging. Otherwise, as my dear readers can see, I just keep putting it off and putting it off and before I know it, a week has gone by when I promised I’d blog the next day. There hasn’t been too much going on here, but [...]

It’s here!

Posted in Knitting on February 21, 2007 |

I am beyond thrilled. Received in the mail today: one size zero 32″ circular needle from Knit Picks and twelve hanks of Artyarns superwash merino in the Navy Sunset colorway from FabulousYarnDOTcom. I can now knit Christmas socks with my sock yarn and I can start over Ezra’s (and eventually start Isaac’s) sweater in a [...]

Waiting

Posted in random on February 18, 2007 |

This morning I am waiting for Ezra to poop. Yes, you read that right. Late yesterday afternoon, Ezra swallowed something. I thought it might have been a toy, but wasn’t sure. So, I packed him (and some knitting) up and headed over to the ER. They were busy. Our recent snow and ice storm had [...]

All in garter stitch. This project challenged my fortitude, let me tell you. Even the kids were glad [...]

I did it! I finished knitting the Doctor Who scarf last night. All that remains is end weaving (which shouldn’t be too bad because I wove most ends as I went) and tassel making (also easy). Woo-hoo! Check back for pictures and commentary. :-)

30 second movies

Posted in doctor who, Knitting, tagged , on February 5, 2007 |

I admit that I often enjoy commercials. The really good ones are like tiny little movies–a complete story arc in under a minute. Yesterday was the advertising industry’s big chance to knock the socks off a huge demographic–the Superbowl. Companies pay a lot of money to advertise during the Superbowl–we’re talking as much as $43,000 [...]

We’re Back

Posted in life on February 2, 2007 | 1 Comment »

We’re home from our trip to Florida. I must say that in spite of my husband’s granddad being ill and dying, we had a wonderful time. Please say a quick prayer for him as he will be greatly missed by his grandson who has many funny stories of him. While we were there, we stayed [...]
