Girl Scouts

Girl Scouts is in full swing. I’m the official assistant leader of the little girls’ Brownie troop. We’ve had 3 meetings so far, and I already led a _”try-it”_ (People Are Talking) at the second meeting. It went okay. This last meeting (yesterday) we did a hike through a local pumpkin patch (pumpkins, squash, gourds,…

Alive and Knitting

I was working on these socks, test knitting, but the pattern has been “realeased”:http://knittinmom.blogspot.com/2006/09/do-i-take-advantage.html so it’s not such a secret anymore. “Knittin Mom’s”:http://knittinmom.blogspot.com selling the pattern for a great cause, and it’s a beautiful pattern.

Not Everybody’s Doing it – but I am

Yes, casting on for another project, when I’m trying to finish UFO(UnFinishedObjects)’s for “UFO August,”:http://ufoaugust.blogspot.com/ but in my defense, I did finish two of the projects on my list!
