I’ve finished another square for Joel’s Daughter’s afghans. I’ve cast-on and almost finished a preemie hat for the NICU at our local hospital. I’m dying some of Frankie Lee’s roving, in fact as I type the last of it is soaking up colors beautifully in my dye pot. I’ve been down for 2 days with…
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…
Double Sheep Again This Year!
Mama Romney gave birth to twins again! 2 dark ones instead of yin & yang colors. I’ll have photos and more details to share soon.
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.

Guess who’s here!
Here is his sweetness and glory, and he just happens to be wearing the “Bananahead Hat”:http://www.ravelry.com/projects/starzabove/bananaheads-baby-beanie that *_I_* made for him!

Snow Storming Decisions
It’s snowing here – still – has been pretty much all day. Everything is bright and quiet out there, even in the middle of the night. I’m about done with winter and it’s ice storms and tornadoes and what not. I’m ready for spring. Even though I know that heightens the actual normal threat of…
Leapin’ in here
I know, _groan_ , pun intended. Happy Leap Year Day! I didn’t know it was a holiday, but oh well, we can use all of the holidays we can get, right? We’ve had lots of excitement going on around here. We’ve had ice storms, freezing temps, sickness, and almost had a baby yesterday! One of…
Look who just FLU by
Yes, bad pun, but a terrible strain of the flu, yes that one, the one that everyone seems to be getting lately, hit our home with a vengeance this past week. I wasn’t even able to escape it. Though my instincts tell me that my immune system was not at it’s strongest what with all…
No time to blog, really
I won’t even begin to list the things I need to do, because if I have to one more time to one more person I may just seriously lose something! p{float:right;padding:10px}. !http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2344/2230648218_ff4c9c25cd_m.jpg!:http://www.flickr.com/photos/starzabove/2230648218/ I finished Angel’s pink sweater and she’s been wearing it since! Here it is blocking. I’ll try and get a photo of her…
I just moved down the cyber street
Whew! That was a lesson or twelve. I’ve moved servers, (if anyone even noticed and I finally got it all fixed up tonight. I feel like I’ve come back home after being lost for awhile out in the middle of the unknown. Technology – it’s a blessing and a curse on me, to be sure.…
