Living between the venues for the 2010 Winter Games has turned out much better than anticipated. Sure, there’s little to no snow and driving was held up for 7 years in the making but…now that it’s here, might as well enjoy it right? We took our Daycare kids to 2 Olympic events — and they [...]

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. Which feels like John Locke’s attitude [...]

Knitting Content!! Yes. Your eyes are not deceiving you — it’s a slew (or is it slough?) of FO’s! Topmost is the Tudora Ruff- or Tudorica. I think this picture turned out quite funny – I was actually trying to avoid a triple chin but…it makes me look kinda threatening. I joined a traveling Scarf Exchange, [...]

The internet is abuzz with news of Haiti and how we can each assist as we are able. Over at Ravelry there are patterns tagged for Haiti Help – parts of the proceeds will be given to Doctors Without Borders. So…if you were going to be buying a pattern soon, and you do it before Jan. [...]

I think I am not the only one who is so excited to see this guy return: Hee hee! I’ll never forget that shy/sly grin he wore as he rationalized stealing the other tribes shoes:”Pirates pillage. Pirates steal. Pirates take advantage. We are pirates, so we pirated.” I laughed out loud! I am casting on [...]

Now that winter is here — recognizable by it’s driving rain — it’s kinda drafty upstairs, what with the wall of windows. So yesterday, I made these: I was kind of amazed at how expensive curtains are, and I was not checking out the costly kind either. For $22 I was able to make these. [...]
Hey, I’m really trying to get in some daily knitting time. While it doesn’t look like I’ll be getting done in time for the contest, I might have a pair of socks by December: Here is my Tranisitions Yoke Cardi at the moment: I’ve finished the transistions and am now beginning the body – I’ve [...]

An FO! Shocking isn’t it? If you saw the Ravelry input you’d know that this little number took 11 months! Oh my goodness. Despite how long I took, I’m really happy with this sweater. It’s cozy, it feels good, it hangs well and the button holes worked! What next for my knitting? Wellllll – if [...]
