I’ve had the strongest urge to start a new project for the past few days and I’ve kept stuffing it back down saying, “When I get done with this project…”. Well, that project had to go take an emergency bath and I allowed myself to cast-on a new project. I’ve really wanted to do something …
Yesterday I got the word that it was time to go get some fleeces that I have been watching for the past two years (at very high speeds as I drove by!). I thought that they were Hebridean sheep but I found out that they were Black Welch Mountain sheep instead. I think I can …
I have several thank you’s that I need to make for people who have donated sock yarn leftovers to the massive undertaking that is my sock yarn blanket. First off there is Tini, who sent me a great package with some sock yarn, beads and some candy. Always a good combo! Then I also got …
Since I am pretty sure that she doesn’t read this (at least not in anything close to real-time) due to having an extremely active toddler in the house, I feel that I can post pictures of these without any major repercussions. It might even be a good thing given how the UK and US postal …
So, I have been working on some sock yarn projects the past week. One is a beginning and one is a finishing (finally!). I guess that I will start with the end. I finally (Praise Yarn!) finished my first pair of socks! I finished knitting the first sock some time ago but then never finished …

A couple of nights ago the hubby and I were setting up for an invigorating game of scrabble (I know, we are the most boring couple on the planet!!) and we had lit a few candles on the dinning room table. Now, I’m not sure what Jiji thought that I was doing up there, but …
Yesterday was my first time riding a train in the US other than in a major city. I rode Amtrak from Chicago to Osceola, IA. Compared to all of the trains that I have ridden in Europe, it was a lot bumpier and rockier. I could only work on a dishcloth as the lace stole …
I finished knitting the Feza scarf and immediately decided to block it a bit so that it didn’t look quite so much like a red, green and orange rope around my neck. Here it is in it’s Soak bath. Here it is about halfway blocked. Here it is all pinned up. I didn’t go totally …
I am so very excited! Today I got my Moo order and I have to share with you! They’re so cute! Here are some pictures: I have to say that my experiance with Moo has been excellent and I would totally get behind anyone who wanted to use them. I …
