Heading home soon.
I’m still feeling a wee bit sickly. I guess I haven’t yet recovered from whatever this yucky mini-cold has wrought. No big plans for tonight, though. A bath, then some time curled up with the … Read more

Oh, yeah, baby!
I’m going to the KNIT OUT this Sunday. Are you?
Promises, promises.
I’m actually going to keep this one. But first let me say an emphatic thank you to the non-prissy non-snobby knitting circle. Seriously. Most of the people in that sock class were great, but there … Read more
Knittery update.
Despite working both days this weekend, I managed to complete both socks for my class tonight. Now, just to pop in the heels! After that, I’m going to start on another pair. See, the first … Read more

Knitting is taking over my life, at least according to my iCal.
Saturday’s the Deep Color open house (thanks, Cheryl, for the link!), which I really must drop by since it’s another within-walking-distance LYS and all granola. Sunday, I’m taking the sweater finishing class at ArtFibers. Monday, … Read more
To felt or not to felt?
I admit, I’ve been seriously looking at that the French Market bag on Knitty lately. I think it would be so nice to carry down to the farmer’s market on Saturday mornings, that sort of … Read more
