swaps, sock clubs & homework

May 14, 2008

I’ve had many, many opportunities to join sock clubs over the last few years, but have never succumbed. Until this one came up and I could no longer resist. I just joined and I can’t wait to see what they’re going to come up with! Another thing I’ve never done is participate in a swap [...]

today’s progress…

May 13, 2008

One complete Sorta Charade sock: One nearly-complete Lizard Square: A little bit of a baby sweater: (I didn’t actually work on this today, but I hadn’t shown any pictures of it yet, so…)

home again

May 12, 2008

We’re home, just finished watching both Lost and Grey’s Anatomy from last week, and now it’s time for bed. Today kind of flew by, but it was a nice Mother’s Day. Nik made breakfast for both me and Mom, and we enjoyed our ocean view for the morning and early afternoon until we decided it [...]

hey, where’d the sun go?

May 11, 2008

As I mentioned in my last post, we’re at Gleneden Beach for the weekend. It’s apparently been sunny (if a bit cold) most of the week, but today? Alternately drizzly, foggy, misty, etc., all day. Gray, gray and more gray. Oh well. I’d still rather be here looking at the ocean than home looking at [...]

babies, yarn, and projects (oh my)

May 9, 2008

I think this post will be quick and picture-heavy…then I’m going to bed early, in an attempt to make up for the last couple of nights a bit. Yesterday was fun. When I arrived at Twisted, I had a plan. One of my co-workers is pregnant and expecting a little girl in September, so I’ve [...]

the sun finally came out to play

May 6, 2008

So we took a few pictures yesterday. We were down in Tualatin, meeting Mom for lunch, but we were about half an hour early so we made a little side trip over to the little man-made lake in the center of Tualatin. For the first year and a half that I lived in the Portland [...]

2850 yards

May 4, 2008

Wow, that’s a lot of yarn to wind at once. The Cherry Tree Hill was 2400 yards, making the biggest ball of yarn I’ve ever seen: This is going to be a Follow the Leader Faroese Shawl for Mom. Actually, I’ve already started it and I’m a whole…11 rows in. The sock yarn, Stitchjones Superwash [...]

artichokes for dinner

May 4, 2008

I think I could eat artichokes every day of my life. This was tonight’s dinner–along with some tater tots. Well, the sun never did decide to show itself today so I didn’t take any knitting-related pictures (thus the picture of my dinner instead). However, I did finish the Twisted Sky Socks! They’re awesome and I [...]

flair!

May 3, 2008

It’s done, it’s done, it’s finally done! I took pictures, but the light was weird. So bear with me a bit here… This one is pretty true to the color: This one shows the texture, etc., better: And here’s a better look at the cute buttons: Laid out flat like that, it looks a bit [...]

seizing up

May 2, 2008

Do you ever sit down to write a blog post and nothing coherent wants to come out? I have all sorts of topics I could discuss, from knitting to upcoming house projects to Nik’s vision problems. But I’ve started this post about five times already and…meh. So…I’ll save the majority of it until another time. [...]
