When I got up this morning, this is what it looked like:
I had stepped outside the night before and noticed the drop in temperature. Apparently it was enough to give us some frost.
The roofs were all white…
As I looked across the street at the pond, I saw this…
It was a beautiful way to start the [...]

Boy, is this project addicting! The mini-stockings project that I started working on yesterday has quickly taken over my knitting life. Thankfully I’m subbing every day this week, so I’ll use my free time (i.e. Planning) to work on them.
Y’all saw the first one I made in yesterday’s post. Here are three more that I’ve [...]

I think I have knitting ADHD. Do you know what I’m talking about?
I have always been a one-project-at-a-time gal, but lately, I find myself dreaming of other projects. The project I currently have on my needles are the Knotty or Knice socks from the latest issue of Interweave Knits. I’ve completed the first sock and [...]

I was very lucky with Hurricane Gustav. Had I been located one hour west, I would [...]

Phew! What a project!
I finally finished the comfort throw that I made for my daughter’s friend’s mom…the sweet lady who recently had surgery to remove part of her colon. Fortunately, the doctors only found cancer in one inch of the seven inches that was removed. Additionally, only one of the 15 lymph [...]

Well folks..after knitting for almost two years, I finally got my hands on some of that famous yarn…Malabrigo…better known as Mmmmmm.
Just how I obtained it is a story in itself.
One evening, while I was chatting on KnittingHelp.com, the subject of Mmmmmm came up. I lamented how I’ve never seen or touched it before. [...]

So much for a quiet Wednesday. No sooner did I post that entry did my life turn upside down once again.
After dozing off on the couch…killing time until my son’s doctor appointment, I arose to find a pool of blood on the floor where my dog, Aubie, had been sleeping. I do not [...]

When it rains, it pours!
If you had walked into my house last week, you would have seen blankets and yarn lying all over the place. I hear you asking, “Why?” Well, it’s because I am involved with the Oddball Baby Blankets – two charity projects started on KnittingHelp.com. We even have a [...]
