Ooo, I have a pullover and a sock on the go, neither of them small projects, really, but neither of them in the first flush, either. Both are about 3/4s finished, so naturally I’m looking around for a sexy new love. And I think I’ve found it. I’m sitting here trying to resist winding into… Continue reading Temptation

Tension
I’m going through a trying time. In short, I’m having my second miscarriage in five months. But I have two lovely children, I have faith, I have friends and I have people who love me, so it’s all better than it could be. But the other weapon in my arsenal, against the monsters lurking in… Continue reading Tension
Now On WordPress
This poor homeless little blog has been wandering around for years now, from Livejournal to Blogger and back to LJ, for want of anything better. But in a fit of widget-envy, I have moved to WordPress and will be trying it out for a while. I never could find the comments people left on Blogger… Continue reading Now On WordPress
Themed Part I
posted in her journal explanations of some of her ‘interests, listed in the LJ profile and said she’d tag other people. I responded but was too lame to check that I had any interests listed, so she had to do a little more research than she had planned (but that’s OK. It’s what she does.)… Continue reading Themed Part I
Adding Converts
I did it. It was my first time. I feel like a real grown-up knitter now. I taught my friend to knit. It totally did not push it. She came over (from the other side of the country, no less) and more or less instantly demanded that I teach her to knit. So I did.… Continue reading Adding Converts
Don’t Take Away My Yarn!
A quote that made me laugh, from a fellow knit-blogger, who is having a hard time going back to work after the latest baby. “As I was having that good cry, though, my husband put things in perspective–‘We could probably live on my salary you know…we’d have to give up some things…books, movies, braces for… Continue reading Don’t Take Away My Yarn!

I Can Knit ANYTHING
I think my knitting obsession is getting noticed. I made a website for my three-year-old, featuring his favourite cars from a Hot Wheels movie (oh yes, they make movies). He was touched that I had made it especially for him. To demonstrate this, as he was looking through it, he said in awe and wonder,… Continue reading I Can Knit ANYTHING
Knitting for the Blind
No, I mean: Knitting, For the Blind. I just came across this, instructions on how to get knitting instructions on cassette, from the Royal National Institute for the Blind amongst others. What a great idea, I thought. How equal-opportunities. Then I thought, wa-a-a-it a minute….knitting when blind? Now that would present a challenge. It’s not… Continue reading Knitting for the Blind
Knit And Crochet Show
07-15-06_1225.jpg Originally uploaded by jwordsmith. Lovely Husband (LH) set me free this morning to take a swing through the Knit And Crochet Show at Valley Forge. I didn’t sign up for any of the classes and, frankly, I wasn’t sure what to expect. I had been to the Computer Show and Sale here and it… Continue reading Knit And Crochet Show
