Boy, this has been an interesting week. Work-wise, it’s been fine. Health-wise…not so good. I have developed some sort of upper respiratory ailment that my body is having a hard time fighting. It’s run the gamut from the sore throat to a stuffy nose and wet cough. I’m frustrated. [...]

This week found me knitting up a chemo cap for Knitting_Guy’s mom. He is a member of Knitting Help and Ravelry. He has two blogs…this one and this one.
He has contributed many posts on KH, and is simply adored by [...]

Hooray, hooray! AuburnChick went shopping!!! It’s pretty sad when I scout out yarn stores when we go out of town, but that’s exactly what I do. I got up bright and early this morning, GPS in hand,and made my way to KnitWitz, a “real” yarn store in Jacksonville. What a delightful [...]

Wow! Life’s been hectic the last few days!
I stayed up late Friday night and finished the first Tidal Wave sock.
I had to try it on, even though it’s a little too big since Chicklet’s friend has 9 1/2 size feet!
When I turned the heel, the yarn either changed colors or appeared to because of [...]

Pictures speak louder than words.
Tuesday was not the best day. I was greeted at work by a friend bearing a bag of M&M’s. Out of the blue. Very much like my friend. She loves dark chocolate. I’m a milk chocolate kind of gal. Common denominator? Chocolate. The [...]

Well, folks, I’ve had a frustrating couple of knitting days.
I did finish my Monkey Socks. That was pretty cool. Here’s a picture. Forgive the posing…it’s not great, but it’s proof that I did finish. And no, the left sock is not bigger than the right one. Again, bad positioning by [...]

Well, work continues on the Monkey Sock. I’m totally ready to get this one done, but it seems to be moving along a bit slowly. Hopefully by tomorrow or Saturday, I’ll bind off.
In the meantime, I thought I would post this…I also created a new page for it (see the link on the right). I’ve [...]
