Hey, I’m really trying to get in some daily knitting time.

Here is my Tranisitions Yoke Cardi at the moment:
I’ve finished the transistions and am now beginning the body – I’ve already checked to [...]

I don’t usually do these kind of posts because I don’t usually have much to show. Happily, that is not the case this week!

Yes, I know. October and therefore Socktoberfest is over BUT we have until the end of November to post our Mystery Socks [...]

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! It’s amazing to see local places showing up – Gaius Baltar’s beach house is not far from where we camp each year [...]

I swear, I am going to start blogging again. What a difference it makes not being online at home!
Before I resume regular blogging, here is a visual of what’s been going on the last 3 months.

On the way to work this morning.
Lunchtime visitor yesterday.

I really have to thank my Secret Pal assigned to spoil me this last round, because she has really been wonderful! So: Thank you Scoutleader!! Go say hello to her won’t you?

Our Summer Program is in full swing at work. We are off on field trips every day. We’ve been to some pretty amazing places already but we are also getting plenty of time back at our building for dressup and K’nex building.

So I can’t promise to post like this each Wednesday — in case you haven’t noticed, I have an aversion towards schedules…Shhh. It’s fine!
We have been running at half our normal attendance all week — yay! — which has allowed for plenty of knit time on field trips. Which has led to this:

Officer Starbuck, in the post, with scarlet Detonators.
So ended my 3rd tour of duty in Sock Wars. Slain by a lovely, soft and smooshy pair of Tofutsies. Handmade just for me by a fantastic knitter, Starbuck (sadly blogless). I was her 2nd target and she may well live to slay a 3rd. As fate would have [...]

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 [...]
