Let the Games Begin!!

  Tonight at 6 when the Opening Ceremonies begin there will be a mass Cast-On taking place all over the Knitverse! I am representing Team 4815162342 from the LOST board and will be making the Adamas Shawl – it sounds BSG but the Greek translation is: indomitable or untamable.

News – not necessarily important

Socktoberfest

I’ve joined the Mystery Sock group at Ravelry. I am knitting like a fiend while watching Seasons 1&2 of Battlestar Galactica. I’m so glad I didn’t watch this live and don’t have to wait!

New Projects

I am hoping for a quiet weekend – and so far the rainy weather is helping! I would like to do some more spinning – I did a little this afternoon. Enough to knit up a square for Rebuilding Greensburg.       What do you think? My first ever hand spun yarn. Boy, do I have [...]

WLC Week 9, Hot Links & A Little Yarn Pr0n

Sooo I really let things fall by the wayside while I was away. Yes, yes we walked nearly everywhere for most of each day but…not enough to counterbalance the food choices I was making. But oh was it yummy! We had Thai, Dim Sum, Vietnamese (oh the Iced Coffee!! – not many calories in that [...]
