The Beast is done!
Tweet Finally! After several months of blood, sweat, tears and yarn, it’s done. The Cables and Chains Jacket is done. I have to say, it was a total pain to get it to line up correct so that I could seam it. But in the end all the pain was worth it. Unfortunately I don’t [...]
More snow?
Tweet Seriously? I went to lunch today and by the time I got to where I was going, it was snowing. Nothing sticking to the ground mind you, but still. I almost ran over the yarn shop and grabbed a bunch of wool to knit up a “spring” sweater! Not a whole lot of progress [...]
Where did my weekend go?
Tweet Saturday was a blur. I got up, thanks to Kink beaming me in the head with her new Red Sox cay toy, and hit the ground running. I was off to my magic loop sock knitting class. After the usual beginner hiccups, I was off and running. I don’t think I will ever use [...]
let the seaming begin!
Tweet I started seaming the Cables and Chains jacket today. I went to Hilltop Yarn at lunch for a little help. I thought I knew how it worked but i wanted a second opinion before getting it all together and realizing I was completely wrong. So far so good. I’ve only done the right bottom [...]
Holy Geez! I forgot all about you!
Tweet I got so wrapped up in I’m not sure what, that I’ve been neglecting my poor blog. I found out that my final time for the St. Paddy’s day dash was 39minutes and 16seconds. Not bad. I’m happy with that. The next race will be more about hanging out with a good friend and [...]
Swimming and whatnot
Tweet Today I hit the pool with my new skills that I learned at our Saturday swim lesson. And guess who was working tonight… Erin, our swim instructor! The best part was she was so excited that me and my friend were working on our skills that she gave us a few workouts to do! [...]
It's the home stretch!
Tweet The Cables and Chains jacket is rounding the corner to the finishline! I finished the scarf piece last night. Now all that’s left is the sleeves. I’m torn between doing all the seaming myself or having it done by someone else. As I’m looking at it, it’s kind of a tough one to get [...]
Nearly done!
Tweet The scarf part of the Cables and Chains Jacket is almost done. I’m hoping to have it done tonight. I’m also working at the gift center tomorrow because of the Gift Show. So I’ll be able to do a little knitting while I’m there. And hopefully get a little studying done. Apparently it’s been [...]
One heck of a weekend
Tweet This was one heck of a weekend. Friday was pretty mellow. But Saturday was non stop. I had to get an oil change at the ungodly hour of 9am. By the time the dealership (the only reason I get oil changes at the dealership is because they’re free) got done, it was an hour [...]
Goodbye coffee swap coffee, we had a good time
Tweet Today I tapped into the last bit of coffee that I got from Carrie in the Winter Wonderland Coffee Swap. I’ll miss you special coffee… You woke me up every mornin’ and got me going on the days when all I wanted to do was sleep. And quite frankly, I should have paid attention [...]
