Yes, we have hot showers here at our home – FINALLY!!!! Going six months without any sort of shower was tough. NOT! But accepting the graces of family & friends, renting a local hotel room _for a few hours_, and mom even discovered truck stop showers – well that was getting all good and OLD.…

Not casting on, really, well, sort of
I didn’t cast-on for this: p=. I did finish it in one evening though. I’ve wanted to try filet crochet for awhile. I didn’t have any crochet thread (not sure I’d like it if I had it) so I just used some sock yarn and a size E hook. It was quick and fun. “This…
Diagnosis – Late Stage Castonitis a.k.a. Startitis
I am a sick gal. Please send any suggestions for treatment, A.S.A.P.! This is embarrassing: “Click here to see how bad off I am”:http://www.flickr.com/photos/starzabove/2362147761/ That is the day last week that I dragged in all of my WIP(Works In Progress) ‘s and told “Mom”:http://knittinglakeside.com that I needed intervention. I announced that I was finally going…
Give Wool A Chance
“This is a great article”:http://www.yarnharlot.ca/blog/archives/2008/01/07/in_praise_of_cheap_wool.html about wool. Seriously, read it. I’m considering contacting Stephanie for permission to put a copy of it in with “our shop’s”:http://yarnalong.com next newsletter at the end of this month. The mid-month clues are up for the “Monthly Dishcloths Yahoo Group”:http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MonthlyDishcloths/ and I’m enjoying this one as the clues come out,…
Tis Winter – a season to knit
And I have been knitting, even if it’s not as much as I would like. Running the shop is SO MUCH MORE than just sitting around knitting, crocheting and spinning! There’s been a little bit of a stitch pattern taught to me by a very sweet lady named Claudia….. it’s oh, so very European! And…
Really Workin’ Out
So, I’ve been working out. Actually have made it 4 out of the past 5 days. It feels good. I’m really only feeling it in my back and neck a bit. I’m working into it slowly, since I can’t afford downtime from muscle stress/strain or injury. But as the youngest likes to quote “_Slow and…
I’m a great-what?!?!
A great-Aunt?! That can’t be! That makes me sound *_OLD!!! _* Well, _his_ niece just had her first baby a few weeks ago. She’s adorable. And _he’s_ 4 1/2 years older than I am. And his sister was like 12-15 years older than him. And she was very young when she had his niece. And…
I’m not a shoe person
I know women are known (or at least are stereo-typed) as generally being ‘shoe people’ – thank you, MS. Marcos. When it comes to purses, shoes, jewelry even, I tend to be on the conservative side, I guess. I have just a few pairs of shoes – one for each practical use- i.e. boots for…
Turkeys to Trees
Well, we had a nice Thanksgiving here, hope you did, too. The usual – family, friends, food. Very thankful that _he_ was home for it, and stepdad was able to be home, as well. Now, onto the Christmas season…. I decided that being out at 6 or 7 a.m. was not in the cards this…
