The past two weeks have seen me frog the heel on the second Thuja sock I don’t know how many times (we seem to have come to an agreement and things are smoother now), then the right front of the Natalie coat had to be ripped back and restarted…luckily I had only knit about 4 inches and [...]

That is Chris reading the DnD Monster Manual to Abi for her bedtime story…She calls this the “dagon bok” and often asks to look at it. She also likes to play with the larger DnD Minatures figures that we use in our game…She is SO going to regret the existence of these photos when she [...]

I have only been a serious knitter for a bit over three years now and for the past two years I have set a goal I wanted to accomplish for each of those years. First it was spinning and last year it was getting my head arround knitting socks and the Magic Loop technique. For [...]

My trusty Ashford Joy is no longer mine, it has a new home and a name (Stella) with Ms Jen. Stella will get much love and work at her new home as it was clear by the look on Jen’s face last night that she has clearly been afflicted with the need to do The [...]

One of my bosses said this to me the other day when he saw my present TTC project. I’m certain it’s meant as a compliment since once he felt the yarn there was a tone of envy in his “you knit some socks for you Dad!”. Eitherway that is how I’m taking it, but it [...]

It was another trying day at work…this time it was a person on the phone who was just an ass. She wouldn’t listen to you when you tried to answer her questions and when she did listen she only heard half of what you said. My supervisor and I spent about 45 minutes between us [...]

I had a bad day at work and would really rather spend my days dealing with sheep and goats as they won’t yell at me!

Last weekend I ordered my new spinning wheel and Meghan said on Wednesday night that it was on it’s way and will probably be here today…Now I’m trying to patiently wait for the phone call saying it’s here…it’s like the night before chirstmas…wait this is even worse…it’s 6:30am on christmas morning and your parents gave [...]
