I've been sick. I think I mentioned last week that the boys were sick. Well, it finally caught up to me last week. I had a cold, which was annoying, but was not as bad as the backache that accompanied it. I spent a few days doing nothing. I think I deserved it. I feel … Continue reading Monday morning…

Well, I'm in search of my next project. I'm thinking of tackling a sweater, but on a smaller level...Say, like for my son's. I still have to finish their winter sets, but since I already know how to knit mittens and scarves, that project seems a little boring.I'm using my purse now, although I think … Continue reading The Afterglow…

My first felting is complete! I took the pattern I found in Better Homes and Gardens Knit It! and added my own touch, the light pink pocket on the front.

I thought I'd be posting pictures from the great Colorfest in Thurmont, MD today, but, alas, my friend, Shon, and I did not go. I would have braved the torrential down pours, but she decided against going. Of course, I could not go myself. It would not be as exciting alone. Plus, I really didn't … Continue reading Colorfest…I almost went

...And now I am listed on the "Bad Girls Who Knit" webring! If only you knew how bad I am...First off, I've been knitting--I promise--although my progress seems minimal on my felted bag project. Maybe it's just the picture. In real life it is quite large. Unfortunately, though, I measured it this morning to find … Continue reading Thursday…

My cats (the black one is Lily, and the grey one is Loki)...They always beat me at the staring game. This is a good pic of them, though. (The little one is a trouble maker!)Speaking of trouble makers...My boys...Doing what they always do...Making a mess and acting like circus freaks. Currently, they are trying to … Continue reading Kids and Kitties

Ahh...This was the view from my kitchen this morning. It isn't as impressive in two dimensions, but there was a thick layer of fog covering the field behind my house. If only there wasn't a major highway between us, disrupting the peace...(The trees hide almost hide it in this shot.)Hmm...Knitting...Well, I took a break from … Continue reading A Foggy Morn’
