Updates

Well, I don’t have too much in the way of updates.  I am on the foot of my first Retro Rib sock, close to turning the heel of my first Jaywalker, 26″ into Lady Eleanor, and this far into Celtic Dreams:
 
Now once again, I realize I am posting pathetic progress, however, if you had any [...]

“S.O.S. Please someone help me it’s not healthy for me to feel this way…”

Rihanna’s lyrics (well just those I above) really speak to the problem I have with my continuous stash enhancements!
So, I have a statement to make.
You will want to sit down for this (maybe even have a stiff drink nearby).
I have decided to make a very extreme pledge, right here, today, on this blog and I [...]

I jumped on the Calorimetry bandwagon!

I have an FO to scratch off my list!!!  Calorimetry from the recent Knitty!  Everyone seems to be making them now and my last secret pal sent me the perfect yarn for it so I figured I’d give it a whirl.
 I have really made three of these, but two were gifts.  The one you see [...]

Now, before we get to this picture, [...]

I got some sock yarn from Etsy seller Ruby297 and Yarn Pirate (see below).  Ruby sent along a fun little hank of yarn key-chain and some candy too.  That was [...]

Vesper. Luscious Vesper.

Yep, we got through! It was like buying tickets to a concert that was sure to sell out instantly.
Even as we put skeins in the cart, they became unavailable.
However, between three of us, we were able to each nab 2-3 skeins. YAY! I thought it impossible, but we persevered and made it! [...]

How can this happen???

Has anyone heard about this?   A substitute teacher from CT, Julie Amero is facing 40 YEARS in prison because in 2004, while in class, some porno pop ups appeared on her computer.  Now, we all know how crazy pop ups can be and they can be completely unsolicited.  This woman has no prior record and [...]

SPA Weekend Recap!

SPA was fantastic!  Bethe and I arrived Friday morning and went straight to the Flat Bread Co. for some fantastic pizza and good brews.  We then toured around Portland.  There were some fun shops and I got some fun trinkets and while the sidewalks were treacherous, we still had fun.  We then checked in and hung [...]
