Knitters are everywhere, and I think that is so cool.
On Friday morning before work, Brian and I waited out in front of our local AT&T store in order to get our hands on the new iphones. We were prepared with Starbucks, chairs-in-a-bag, a book (for Brian), and knitting (for me) to keep us comfortable […]

Time for a Maryland Sheep and Wool recap…better late than never. A little peek into the bag I brought home…
A few weeks ago I went to the Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival with Kelly and Aileen. I had gone once before, Aileen had gone a few times, and Kelly had never gone before. […]

This morning when I went to put on the Monkey Socks I finished knitting last spring, I noticed a huge hole in the heel. This is my first pair of hand-knit socks to bite the dust.
I guess that means its a good thing that I finished my second pair of Monkey Socks the weekend […]

Today is my birthday.
And this weekend is the Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival.
I originally wasn’t planning to go, but last weekend Kelly and Aileen asked if I would want to come along with them, so we plan to go tomorrow. I’ve been pretty bad about sticking to any kind of a yarn-diet lately (curse […]

Today is Tuesday. My last post was on Friday. On Saturday I decided that I would give up on NaBloPoMo. I just don’t have enough going on to be able to come up with enough content for a post every day. And when there is enough going on, I don’t have the motivation to find […]

I have a confession to make…
I have been knitting socks for nearly a year, and in that time I’ve finished seven and a half pairs of socks (only one Peaks n Valleys sock is finished). But this week was the first time I’ve worn my hand-knit socks out of the house!
This was not for […]

Today is the first day of NaBloPoMo. And I’m already concerned that I won’t succeed at posting once each day this month. I have some ideas of things to write about (and the sidebar will tell you that there are FOs to post about), but I’m worried that I will run out of […]

I’ve been a major blog slacker. To make up for my slacking and to challenge myself, I have joined NaBloPoMo (aka National Blog Post Month), which means that I will be attempting to post once each day for the entire month of November. You may have heard of NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month), […]

Yesterday was nearly a perfect day. I say nearly because the Indians got their butts kicked, which was the only thing keeping it from being a perfect day. I didn’t have to go to work, the weather was beautiful, Rachel at Sprout did an awesome job cutting my hair (anyone who knows me […]

Stitches East starts tomorrow at the Baltimore Convention Center. This will be my first Stitches, and I’m quite excited. I’m not signed up for any classes, but I’ll be going to check out the Market on Friday, since I have the day off. (I don’t think I’ve mentioned it before, but I started a new […]
