Blogging, Journaling, Scrapbooking??
Well, I’ve never been bit by the ‘scrapbook-bug’ so-to-speak. I’ve never learned, been exposed to, or done any myself. But today, as I clicked on the link in my sidebar to see my previous posts (a year ago today, etc.) and found nothing, I decided to peruse my first post and ended up going through…

Secrets, secrets
I’m good at figuring out secrets – have I said that here before? Well, I am. Everyone has a hard time surprising me – I usually figure things out. I just don’t like not knowing things, if that makes sense, it really bugs me! I realized today, that I had forgotten to mention that I…
Sock-a-month 2006 and New Baby
I just joined the “Sock-a-month 2006 knitalong.”:http://knittinmom.blogspot.com/2006/01/sock-month-knitalong.html I figure I could use the accountability and encouragement since I have so many socks I want to knit. I still have my koigu pair on the needles and have done a few more rows, but not much more than pictured in the previous entry. And I’m not…
A little bit of progress on koigu socks
I learn each time I rip out knitting. I have to remember that to ease the pain of ripping out my work. But I know it will be worth it when I get to finally wear these lovely socks. So I ripped back to 56 stitches at the end of the toes, they had been…
