Step One

I know that I’ve mentioned to a few close friends and family members, as well as the vet, that we have decided to train Doozer to use the toilet. It’s not so much that cleaning out the box is a hassle (it is, but I’ll do it) as it is that Doozer is very clumsy [...]

I finished my first pair of socks for the Summer of Socks yesterday.Cute, huh? These are plain vanilla baby socks in Artyarns supermerino with a size 3 needle. I am particularly proud of these socks.

Master’s Monday 2

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged on June 26, 2007 | 3 Comments »

In our defense, we would like to point out that we got our invitation to Ravelry this weekend.

Hooray! The Summer of Socks has begun! Last night, I was thinking that I would have to go out and get some sock yarn (darn) because the Monkeys do not count since I have been working on them for a while. So, I started rooting around in my stash to see what I had in [...]
