A portion of an email I recently received from a person I went to engineering school with, who found me online –

… remember that you liked to knit.  It was one of your many odd/charming features!

Hmmm.
Well.
He could’ve at least put "charming" first!

It’s billed as "Extreme Sheep LED Art".
It’s supposed to be a promotion for Samsung’s LED TV’s, although the connection seems tenuous to me.
The video’s creators (The Baaa-Studs) say, "We took to the hills of Wales armed to the teeth with sheep, LEDs and a camera, to create a huge amazing LED display. Of sorts."
But, [...]

Last week, I wrote about some great things I am fortunate to have in my life:  DH, yarn, a specific cat.
This week, I have even more great things to write about:  specifically, Ben and Jerry’s "Birthday Cake" ice cream some really fabulous, generous knitters and blog readers, not to mention family and friends!  My heartfelt [...]

Yes, both of you already know my ffffoooo…  ffooorrrr…  my birthday is this week.  (Turns out it’s a bigger mental milestone than I thought it would be, actually.)
Thankfully, I already have a lot of great things in my life.  My DH is first and foremost — then there’s a hutch full of yarn, and my [...]

One of the cold hard truths I learned when I quit the engineering job and started setting my own schedule was this:

You can’t get anything done on the days when DH is home.

It was surprising to me — after all, why on earth should it matter if he is upstairs in bed sick with a [...]

Ooopsie.  Did I forget to mention that there is more stuff about our New Zealand trip over at other-blog.com?
Maybe I did.
DH doesn’t want comments enabled over there though, because he is convinced that certain co-workers will post work stuff on it just to bug him.  I may enable comments on my posts, if I can [...]

Here is what it looks like from my office window and my backyard these days:
 

And here is the yoke to my top-down raglan sweater so far.

With all this snow, and everything being cancelled, you might think I’d have gotten a bit more knitting done, wouldn’t you?
However, there have been extenuating circumstances.  A couple of colds [...]

I admit I don’t really have a focus to this post (when do I ever?) but I felt a need to kind of throw an update out there before the big Holiday Weekend.  I have been doing some stuff — really, I have.  And here’s some pictures to prove it.
First, here’s a pic of the [...]

Hey, we’re back from our trip to [Sasquatch->] over the Memorial Day Weekend.  And it was an interesting weekend.
(BTW, this post really does include something pretty interesting about sock heels too, although that bit’s way at the end.  Just skip down there if you must.)
Sasquatch is a big 3-day music festival held annually in an [...]

What a week it has been.  I had a birthday, so I took a few days off — DH had the flu, so he did too.  Is it just me, or is it darned near impossible to get anything done when your husband is home?  So, not much posting going on.
Last week I did fix [...]

OK, it’s high time I wrote something new & exciting.  Hmmm…!
First, let me tell you that the site has gotten just a teensy bit better, with the addition of two new pages:  look up at the top, on the navigation bar, and you’ll see "Site Map" as well as "Knit Links".
The former will give you a listing [...]
