Happy Bloggiversary!

To me!
Today I am celebrating 2 years since I started blogging. I kept thinking I would write something profound but…thinking is a skill I am short on these days…still fighting off a cold and…not getting a lot of sleep so…
In lieu of something profound, let’s celebrate!
                        
Until December 7th, all commentors at the blog will be [...]

Glimpses

I’ve neglected the blog of late – I’m sorry about that. It’s Facebook and….I’ve discovered group forums on Ravelry. Or rather, the usefulness of the forums. Dangerous.  I compare it to a freefall through a wormhole. I login and the next thing I know it’s past time for bed.
I’ve been knitting – we watched a few movies [...]

1st Snow!

Yesterday we had snow for the first time.
I caught some of it falling on my new Noro Hat (which needs blocked).

I tried to get a picture of it falling…not too successful.

This is a little better.
 
The snow seemed to bring out the Eagles. We are their Winter Home.

I haven’t heard them in the morning yet – [...]

Huzzah!

This is going to be a bleary-rambly post. I am too excited to go to bed. I just spun and plied my 1st ball of yarn!
 
This is how I spent the better part of my day – on the couch, pre-drafting my wool, watching Rome Season 1.
I thought of Navajo plying, but really I don’t [...]

Nuts

In the meanwhile you can look at this:

Pic from one of our camping trips this summer. Kira loves, LOVES camping. I’m not sure if it is getting so much time with me (she is ever so slightly attached) or so much time outside. Either way, it’s [...]

Cheap as Free**

I have long admired the beautiful yarn, artfully displayed on many blogs. I have toyed with the idea of taking photography classes – but hampered by time and finances, this has remained an idea frequently pushed to the back of my mind.
In my bloggy travels I have encountered a few tutorials on light boxes. After seeing [...]

It’s heeere!

The gorgeous, oh-so-soft yarn I bought at Destash that is going to become….the Trapeze Jacket. My NaKniSweMo project of choice after the pullover — or when I get tired of the pullover.
The mail has been soooo good to me – look what else was waiting for me:

The most beautifully wrapped yarn from Wool Girl. [...]

New pictures and a small dilemma

My friend e-mailed me some pics from our cruise – thought I would share them while I wait for some blogging inspiration to strike.

I knew someone had to have one of these – Chef’s Night.

My cousin R – King of the Sarcastic Pose

Everyone’s favourite place to be.

Knitting in a lounge – the pathetic look on [...]

NaKniSweMo

‘What is all that jibba jabba’ you ask? Why, it’s the National Knit a Sweater in a Month 2nd annual event. I’m a joiner – even though I am in another nation altogether.
I did cheat a little, in that I had cast on for this pullover 2 days before I discovered this challenge. Here is [...]
