Blog Intrepid

I am a bad BlogStalker Mommy In my defense, there has been Stress, and… well. Stress. The topic this time around is a virtual potluck and favorite holiday tradition. To the Virtual Potluck, I bring you Soft Ginger Cookies. I actually made these for the company pot luck yesterday and I’ll probably make it for [...]

I had fantasies of writing actually poetry for this, but see, the thing I forgot is this: I’m a lousy poet. I mean, really, you don’t even want to know. What can I tell you about my knitting? Warm, cushy wool. I thank the sheepies for their gift Sweaters, socks, things to be comforting and [...]

July was a month of chaos. Largely because I was working towards (and achieved) my Project Management Professional certification. The “disturbing” side effect is watching how the project management training is affecting other elements of my life. I’m fighting the urge to create a WBS for my home remodel and project plans for the garb [...]

I finally finished my Mesilla – a few changes were made, mainly in color/yarn (of course) and the neckline – I opted for leaving the picot hem unfolded & used an I-Cord bind off. It gives a nice eyelet effect and the illusion of another purl stripe. In other news…Dammit. George Carlin died.

There are five relic bags on display in the cathedral of Sion in Switzerland. They date from the 14th century. The bags are knitted in brightly colored silk, at a gauge of about 18 stitches to the inch. They are about 8 inches high and 6 inches wide. Analysis shows that the bags were knit [...]

…where you wake up and everything just seems Right With The World? I love it when that happens – I slept well, woke up refreshed which has been a rarity lately. – The sunrise was beautiful. Oh, I know, “When isn’t it?â€? but it’s the little wonders of the world that remind you that what [...]

…20 minutes until I go home. To early to leave, too late to start any new projects, and I’ve read all my blogs & message boards for the day. Ugh. Spoke with Miss Thing about the Fug last night. She wants it felted and bag-ized, so it will be. Felting begins tomorrow at some point… [...]

No, really. Check this out: Front: Back: I was originally going to felt it and make a bag for Miss Thing. Not sure what I’ll do now that it’s done. Have you noticed how that back makes your eyes twitch? Ouch. Then again, Miss Thing is That Age, she’ll probably love it Details: Yarn: Wool [...]

No, BlogFans, I haven’t forgotten you… Remember the whole “radiation� thing? Yeah, well. I am WIPED OUT. Of course, it doesn’t help that I got a nasty head cold last week, but still. Wake me when we’re done, OK? But hey, there is a good milestone hit: today was treatment #10 of 30. If everything [...]

9/11 came and went. I had so many ideas to post, but none of them seemed fitting. Everyone said it better. To happier things! Two FO’s to report, knitters. Last night finally saw Sweetie’s Sweater done: Isn’t that a happy foot? I have photo-documented the steeking process on this, but it’s pretty photo heavy so [...]
