I haz a cold
While this cold is not as bad as the 24-hour flu I had two days before leaving for Nashville Market, it is longer lasting. It is just your usual run-of-the mill sinus congestion thing. It is all in my ears, so I can’t hear and I can only use the Afrin for one [...]

Bracelet Envy
Look at what I made!
I’m taking a class from Jen Funk-Weber and managed to finish last night.
This is what it looks like laid flat:
And this is what the back looks like:
That’s a herringbone stitch in blue thread on blue fabric in case you can’t tell.
I also spent Friday night and Saturday morning making this hat:
It [...]

If it’s not one thing, it’s another
First the Russians, now hurricanes! Thanks for all the good vibes from everyone. My brother and his family are doing fine, having spent a week as refugees in Armenia (it wasn’t all bad, apparently the hotel had a pool, so the kids had fun). They are now back in Tbilisi and keeping [...]

Feeling Friday
Hooray for Friday! It has been a tumultuous week. Thanks for all the good wishes, my brother and his family are doing fine in Armenia, but hope to be back in Tbilisi this weekend. As long as things get peaceful. They’re with several embassy/diplomatic type people, so that’s good as well.
Me, [...]

Stitching in public
I often stitch in public. I will take my stitching to appointments, baseball games, and to the lunch-time poker game. I’ll stitch pretty much anytime I’m going to have idle hands for an extended period of time. Last week, I attended a software training event, and I decided to knit instead of [...]

Any volunteers?
To do my taxes, that is? My problem is procrastination that I wait to input all of my expenses into the computer program and have to do the whole year’s worth at once. My April resolution this year will be to input everything as it happens at least weekly.
Other than that, I’m having [...]

Refinishing
Last night, I did get to start on the new project, but only after taking the seams out of my last happy dance and redoing them. This really wasn’t so bad, as everything was turned the right way and I was better able to see how each seam was coming out.
Speaking of happy dances, [...]

Down with OCC
My latest “celebrity” sighting:
That’s a gen-u-ine Orange County Chopper there, so I’m down with OCC!
Someone came to the blog by searching on “how to knit false seam knitting round” – which means they came by way of these pictures:
I also had a hard time finding information on false (or mock) seams – I finally resorted [...]

Tuesday I’m in Love
Ok, so this love actually began on Sunday, but today is Tuesday, so today I continue to be in love.
Sunday I got a small case of startititis and decided to wind a skein of the Berroco Peruvian “Dragon” yarn I had ordered for my Tilted Duster. I don’t have a ball winder [...]

Crazy Aunt Purl, knitting and limes!
Another busy weekend here in H-town! Less housework this time, though.
First my dad was in town for a business meeting, which meant we were able to get together Friday night. We stuffed ourselves at our fabulous local Lupe Tortilla’s and had a grand time. Dad had to leave [...]
