We moved. Today I got a desk and finally hooked up the computer. I am going to attempt this blog, as the internet here is sketchy demands patience. We don’t have cable, and from what I understand from the local tech department (my dad) we are trying to use the same type of internet thatContinue reading “Moving Blues”

I have been fairly lazy busy this week, so I have not been blogging. Last weekend I went skiing with friends in West Virginia, the oh so Wild and Wonderful state. We didn’t see much wildlife, except a few wild turkeys. Then Tuesday and Wednesday I had some kind of stomach virus, so I didContinue reading “Neglected, but not forgotten”

Like most of the northern half of North America, it has been cold, and we had a big (or relatively for the area big) storm in the past two days. It was some work getting out, needing a team effort, and we even got the snow blower out.   Even the neighbors dog was very excitedContinue reading “Ice and Snow”

French toast for breakfast…  Hearts on my pajamas…   Some chocolate…   Strawberry hearts… Packing lunch for my family… More chocolate… …Perfect!

Since we are still stuck in the black hole on the socks, (and I hope to be done one by the end of the week, as I want to start the next one on the ski trip this weekend,) we will post what we desire to be knitting here. (You like my royal we? IContinue reading “Wanna be knitting this…”

First, thank you to all who gave me some feedback on my questions. Go here in appreciation! Now, I have finished the pink hat! The knitting gods ignored me for the most part, however I did hit some snags. Like this one: And later on, I saw this:   I don’t know what it was. ItContinue reading “Appreciations and Depreciation”

I got new yarn yesterday to make a hat. Now, please know, I am not a person who typically likes pink. In fact, I think it is genetic, because my grandmother does not like pink either. She makes a face that will clearly convey her contempt for anything pink if you describe something someone woreContinue reading “Pink Hats”

Ok, so I need clarification on some issues, so anyone who can help will be appreciated. (yes, i meant that the way i wrote it) 1. As I have only been knitting (seriously) for 1year and 2months, I have gradually accumulated by reading blogs and books on the subject, that sock yarn does not countContinue reading “Questions in want of answers”

My grandmother knits, and she has knit for as long as I have known her. She also does various other crafty, talented things, however since this is a knitting blog, I will talk about the knitting. I don’t know when I first wanted to learn to knit. I don’t remember when I first asked. IContinue reading “How I Came to Knit…”

I’ll start with some soapbox shouting… It irks me that some knitters with blogs (who will remain nameless) have their blog set up so that you cannot comment on their posts without a Google/Blogger account. Seeing as I already have 3 personal email accounts, 2 logins for the network at work, a login for theContinue reading “Socks, Sales, and Soapboxes”
