Happy Halloween!

More FOs to Brag AboutNo, I haven't finished BIL's scarf yet - but soon! I would have worked on it during the Ravens' game, but I figured it needed too much concentration. Instead, I continued on with the Manos thingy I started yesterday. I call i
KIP Comments
Thursday, 28 October 2004 9:24 A GMT-05
Yesterday, for the first time ever, I got a comment from a stranger as I KIPped on the bus. I was working on BIL's never-ending scarf (each time DH trys it on for size, he indicates that it needs to be longer than the previous time) and one of two B

Ugly Poncho Siting Deux
Tuesday, 26 October 2004 9:17 A GMT-05
Remember the ugly butterfly pattern lace tablecloth poncho from yesterday? Well, that woman must have a whole wardrobe of ugly ponchos! She got on the bus today wearing a baby pink shadow-striped fringed polyester number. Ack! She wore it over an
Busy Weekend
Monday, 25 October 2004 8:56 A GMT-05
I had fully intended to post this weekend, but I was just too darn busy!
On Saturday, I went up to New Jersey with Kate for haircuts. Yes, we travel 100 miles just for a trim! Our friend Karen works in a great salon in the little town of Pitman
Twisted Knitting
Friday, 22 October 2004 8:57 A GMT-05
Kath asks why I knit twisted. Well, it's like this: I taught myself to knit using Debbie Stoller's Stitch 'N Bitch book. From the diagrams within, I thought the right needle was supposed to go into the back of the stitch, from the right side, and

I'm at work today; wish I could have stayed home another day (or the rest of the week) but guilt sets in. It's not like I don't have three weeks of sick leave just hanging around, wanting to be used. I mostly feel bad because I can stay home and be
Sniffle....
Tuesday, 19 October 2004 7:49 A GMT-05
I hab a code. I mean...I have a cold. I'm normally not one to catch anything so pedestrian as the common cold, but here I am, home from work, sniffling, sore-throated, and nursing a nice hot cup of herbal tea before I go back to bed. Ughhhhh. Sho
Finished Beret!
Monday, 18 October 2004 8:54 A GMT-05
After discussions and comments from several friendly and helpful KnitList folks, I embarked on the journey I'll call "Making a Beret." If you remember, I tried this already many months ago, with the HeartStrings Felted Beret pattern and e
Compliment?

Yesterday was my weekly knitting group meeting. I could only stay a short time, since i was meeting an old friend for lunch at 1, but I wanted to make sure to be there and answer any questions the other ladies had. As usual, only two women showed u
Dearly Beloved...
Wednesday, 13 October 2004 12:53 P GMT-05
So no, I didn't knit at the funeral home the other night. (Come on, that would have been really rude, and I'm not that bad!) It was a small room and standing room only. And definitely I would have been looked at askance. I hate going to these
My First Sweater
Monday, 11 October 2004 2:04 P GMT-05
Last night I cast on and knitted the first 10 rows of My First Sweater project. Her name is Bella. Sorry for the sucky image - the digicam here at work isn't too great. The yarn is Cascade 220 in a heathered plum shade. Helloknitty.com (NAYY) has
Felted FOs (or Nearly So)
Sunday, 10 October 2004 12:23 P GMT-05
There is good news and bad news. The good news: those cute felted slipper things turned out to be shaped just like the ones in the book Knit One Felt Too. Cute cute. The bad news - despite making the largest size, even adding a few stitches in
Finally!

I got my darling husband to take a pic of me in the poncho. Et Voila!Here I am, in my sty of an office/studio (actually in the neatest part of the room if you can believe that!) To the right of me is part of a gorgeous abstract painting I bought
WIP Report

Still working on the basketweave scarf for Craig and the stripey scarf for Neal. Other things keep getting in the way of their completion, it seems. I do need to get Craig's scarf done before Christmas though and should just bite the bullet and w
To Heck and Back

A piece of advice - should you get it in your mind that you need to convince 700 women over the age of 50 to buy your hand-crafted, one-of-a-kind bead jewelry and knitwear when they'd rather be buying mass-produced, sequinned, blinky, red hat-shaped
