Ahem, ahem.  OK, yes, you are right — the last post in this series was in July.  Just barely not in June.  July 1, to be exact.
Of course, I did include this bad boy in the UFOlympics, so technically, the last post on this project was more like, oh, late August.

Hooray!!  my favorite fiber festival of the entire year is right around the corner!!
This weekend is the annual OR Flock & Fiber Festival:
www.flockandfiberfestival.com ~ every year on the 4th Sat of Sept in Canby, OR.
OFFF has the flavor of what I imagine a county fair used to be like, and it’s a fiber-lover’s dream.  This year’s [...]

OK, the Internet is definitely a weird place.

Saturday afternoon:  DH and I are running some errands together, so he is driving and I am knitting.  He turns into the Home Depot parking lot, finds a spot, switches off the engine.  Usually he walks around the back of the vehicle, and meets me there — but this time he stayed in his seat, [...]

I figured out something very wrong with my blog today — more specifically, with the way I set things up here.
First, some quick background info:  In  the wonderful modern online world, if you have a public blog and if you post [...]

Out of the blue, my DH sent me an email this morning:  

"Our friends at the Art Institute of Portland are having an Open House on Saturday (9.13) afternoon starting at 11am until 2pm. Their mission is to help you develop your artistic ideas into abilities and your passion into a creative career. Students can earn [...]

Ya know, it’s hard to blog when the things you are doing are (a) things that you can’t write about or (b) boring.
In the second category lately are many administrative things, like setting up fall class schedules and working on websites.  The good news is, the Polar Bear Patterns site is coming along nicely — [...]

Aaaah, fall has arrived:  the kids are back in school, football is about to start, and that means it’s prime knitting time again!!
So, just a brief note to let you know that I’ve just updated all the class pages for my upcoming fall knitting classes:
The Knitting Bee page has been updated with some newly scheduled [...]
