On Friday we began to update FS’ room. Out was the fabulous handmade loft bed & his (nee my childhood) desk, other furniture & good stuff was moved out or to the middle of the room & we began the de-camouflaging.
In 2006 I painted the room khaki/olive, which was surprisingly quite a beautiful color. I [...]

Oh, geez, am I tired! Belaying is wearing me down. And my hands hurt, but I shouldn’t complain b/c FS’ hands look like this:
I thought belaying and driving were the archenemies of knitting…then He bought Sims3 for me.
Sims3 is not just incompatible with knitting - it is also incompatible with sleep. Any sleep. The night [...]

In spite of two visits to FS’ favorite climbing gym, BD’s Mongolian BBQ, a visit to the Museum of Model Aeronautics in Muncie & a fabulous FREE dinner for five at Houlihan’s I managed to almost finish this sock:
Love that Houlihan’s for making doing good things so much fun!
If all of this wasn’t enough fun, [...]

A bit more than an hour from our house is a state park, which is a nice mix between wilderness & civilization. There are far too many people there for us to love it sincerely, but that is the trade off we make for the conveniences. Of course, no one was on the trails deemed [...]

Cast on 44 stitches with 3.25mm needles….
Garter stitch heel, which I think is too long making the sock huge. I’ll make the second to match as they might be kinda cozy after a day on the slopes this winter. Or maybe I will find the perfect foot for these, although I can’t imagine the foot [...]

Started new sock from stashed yarn:
2mm Brittany birch needles
cast on 56
The colors are spectacular! Deep & rich.
Want to finish Brotherly Socks, but as I did an anatomical sock I need a bit of uninterrupted time to do the mirror image for the right toe decrease.

So much work.
Too busy to be writing, but am neglecting the blog. So, I give you non sequiturs…
1. Ultra comfy Nick & Nora jammie pants in this fun print:
When I went to Target.com to find the print I noticed that I paid for a set, but only got the pants. I wish I didn’t know [...]

This may come as quite a shock to you, but…I am not exactly a skatergrrl. Don’t let the fact that I have a posse at Zumeiz mislead you. (Does anyone under 30 even know the word posse?) Ah yes…I have a posse who welcomes me heartily when I arrive with FS and my wallet. (They [...]

Sept 11, 2007…Homework, Nutter Butters, Bib O’ Love & the aching feeling that 2,974 families could not enjoy sitting on the porch on this day.
