To my great dismay I lost a 2mm yellow Pony needle last Wednesday.
Today in the parking lot of the building where I thought I had lost it I saw what looked like a piece of straw, but it was in fact my long lost needle! I could scarcely believe the luck! Although it has a [...]

I thought doing dishes, folding laundry and picking up was the last thing I felt like doing tonight. Then I realized it could be worse! Imagine doing wretched work with an awful song in your head. A song you detested a million years ago. Time has enhanced the feeling. Greatly.
“You Light Up My Life” is [...]

Ok, just barely, but still, I cast on for the second sock.
Grinny Possum Hand Dyed.
2.25 mm Swallow Casein needles.

Here is the Grinny Possum yarn, dyed by Miss Ann, becoming a sock:
No pics of her at the optometrist, but she grew there AND I was cleared to wear my contacts daily for up to 12 hours! Yeah!!!
Here she is growing while the boys drive some balls:
No pics of her at Zumiez, Journey’s or Johnny [...]

Finished in 19 days! Compared with for-ever for his Lana Grossa Meilenweit socks. But, these are ankle socks, not crew.
For the Lana Grossa socks I used Cat Borhi’s Simple Sock in three sizes; these are the Harlot’s Basic Recipe. I love love love turning heels with the Harlot’s plan: knit half of the stitches and [...]

Such rain came last night…maybe like I have never experienced! The weather radio sounded over and over until we just didn’t listen to flash flood warnings. At 4am I heard 6″ of rain had spilled onto us over night. Sheets and sheets of rain. Our swail worried me since it was full.

90 degrees+ and ultra high humidity actually made day #1 of the Hoosier Hills Fiber Festival even more fun. Except for FS who needed Advil & some cool air to soothe his orthodontic pain. Bless his heart! So, we left a bit before I was ready, but not before I scored these treasures…

Somehow kitty slipped out on Tuesday night. (Four or five boys running in & out, Xbox, fireworks…the house was busy & I guess the door was left open at some point while I was out getting dinner. I should have cooked something at home!)
Kitty was gone and a sadness descended upon the house. We walked [...]
