best laid plans, and all that

My yarn substitutions aren’t going to work.  I finished the ribbing and began the first colorwork section, which uses olive, camel and light gray. The colors are indistinguishable from one another.  Which kind of makes the whole idea of a colorwork sweater moot.  I’ve been kicking myself ever since  Meg pointed out to me that [...]

finally awake

Why oh why do we persist in changing our clocks?!?!  Admittedly, falling back and gaining an extra hour in the mornings is nice, but not worth the bleary-eyed fog brought on by springing forward! Anyway … hi!  Hope you guys have been coping better than I have!  My post today will be random to match [...]

oh and two

Thus far in 2008, I have knit two sweaters.  Two sweaters that are too big. Perhaps I should stick to socks. movie emmanuelle bannedmovies falcon studiosfree movie download adultdick movies free bigblack free movies gayfree enema moviesfree movies hotmovies nude teen freesex free movies straightmovies free anime xxx

I want to cuss like Cartman

Look at the progress on my Bianca Jacket! I took this picture Sunday morning.  I was on track to finish this sweater in one week.  But you see that little ball of yarn at the top?  That’s all I had left, with ten rows left in the yoke and several rows of finishing to do.  [...]

Thanks!

Thanks to all for the birthday wishes!  I had a lovely day, topped off with a fabulous dinner (squash and hazelnut orzo) cooked by SB, and cherry delight (also made by SB), and lots of nice presents!  A very cool gift that I received was Deb Menz’s Color in Spinning.  I’ve only had time to [...]

Ta-da!

 I finally finished my Blueberry Waffle Socks!  Yes, I know, only four months after I started them.  What can I say, I”m easily distracted.  Check out how much yarn I had left over.     Wait a minute.  What’s this???  Another FO?       Just LOOK at those cards!  Sgt. Britty and I played Canasta last night [...]

Talk math to me, baby

Numbers are sexy.  Mathematic terms have an effect on me that is difficult to explain.  Math is like a foreign language to my ears, incomprehensible and at the same time irresistible.  Have I ever mentioned that Sgt. Britty seriously considered being a math teacher?  Ahem. I never took a math class beyond Algebra.  I might [...]

Lava flow socks

  Pattern:  Sockbug‘s Lava Flow pattern   Yarn:  Knitpicks Sock Memories in Flower Power colorway Notes:  I really, really, REALLY was loving these socks.  They didn’t love me back.  I turned the heel, finished the gusset and got about two inches from the toe decreases when I thought it might be a good idea to try [...]
