Well I knew I would fail…

I was hoping to have at least one FO done by now. Sad to say I’ve been all consumed with the house. I think in the future I will never ever want to build again. Unless its one of those custom homes where you pick things down to the nail.  We had a few almost [...]

Vaguely Tagged Meme

1.What was I doing 10 years ago? Hmm well I was 21. Which means I Had just moved back to St. Louis from a failed relationship/move [...]

Tennessee Fiber Fair

So Saturday Claire, Judie, Phil and I headed down to Dickson to the Tennessee Fiber Festival. We planned on doing some shopping and then going to plant world and then finally lunch at boobies. Home of the famous boobie burger. We went there last year and everyone loved it. So first up was [...]

Gadget Lust Fulfilled

So some of you know how much I have wanted an ebook device. I read more than I knit probably and I have quite a collection of ebooks, they take up much less physical space than the books I have in every room of the house (minus the bathrooms). Anyway I wanted one because its [...]

Add comments as desired, and then pass the meme along to 5 knitters/crocheters.

Wicked Update

I finished the body but I fear it might be too short. However I do expect to gain some length through the wonder and glory that is blocking. Also since it is a cardigan and I never ever shut them…it should be ok. If not I can cut off the bo edge and add some [...]

I make someones day !?! And an FO

Obligatory Yarn Pron above. God do I love my new camera! The D40 probably would have been ok but I really use the LCD screen on the top a lot. The only reason I sort of wish I’d gone for the 40 was so I could have had money to get the Sony Ereader I [...]

Now not only am I a bad blogger but a knitless wonder too but I have an excuse I'm pregnant.

I had such high hopes for this year’s knitting and blogging. I started off right with 3 FO’s but since then the output has uhh declined. I spent many days trying to find a pattern before settling on the wicked cardigan mod. Then I had to swatch and redo the math and well that didn’t [...]

Merry Christmas..

So I figured I’d do a holiday update. My holiday knitting was umm zero so that was nice. It’s not that I have a problem with hand knits as gifts so much that the deadline thing means I’d never knit anything but gifts, and that would be NO fun. However I am taking the NO [...]
