When It Rains, It Pours

And it’s not about flooding, either.
Two days ago, I broke my toe in two places. It’s the fourth toe on my right foot. I accomplished this feat the other day when I got up from my chair to refill my coffee and my toe connected with the leg of my kitchen table. [...]

Been Quiet Here Lately…

Sorry for the lack of posting. January was kind of washout of a month and with sharing a single computer and a hubby who is on it all the time, it’s hard to get time online.
Between a transportation situation, getting sick, and the weather, I haven’t made either a Tuesday or a Sunday Knit [...]

Merry Christmas…

Since I’m not very regular as a blogger, I’d like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas, since I probably won’t be online in the next two days to say so.
I finally got around to posting updated pictures of my progress on some of my projects.
Here’s a pic of my toe up socks. Finally! [...]

My ‘Puter’s Fixed!

Yay! Turned out, the RAM stick wasn’t hosed, there was too much dust in the machine and it was interfering with the connection between the gold finger and the card socket. Once the dust was blown out of it, it worked fine. When I was on the other computer, I [...]

Grumble, Grumble

The ram in our main computer went kaput, so now we’re using DH’s laptop until he gets a chance to replace it. I hate typing on the laptop. I keep hitting the mousepad and I’m always fixing typos. Being on this means no pictures until the other computer is back up and [...]

Battening Down the Hatches

‘Cause there’s a storm comin’! Really. There is. There’s some nasty weather coming today and I have to go to work. Normally I don’t work Saturdays, but my building did the unthinkable and actually declared mandatory OT for production. I’m support and they want some support people there “just in [...]

More Updates

Last Tuesday, I went to my first Knit Night in Appleton. I probably wasn’t much for conversation, but I had a good time.
Tubey is going slowly. I picked up and joined in the round for the second sleeve and I got about four inches or so knocked out at Knit [...]

Update of Sorts

I haven’t done much knitting in the past few days. I haven’t been online in the past few days because I’ve been indulging my MST3K habit as well. I need to get pictures taken of my progress on my sock and Tubey.
I cast on for the second sock; however, I’m doing the toe [...]

WIP It, WIP It Good!

Some updates on my WIP’s and a FO…
I’m happy to report that the gloves went over very well.  My son was surprised to get them.  I think he liked those better than the CD’s I got him.
I’ll have to get a picture up, but I’m making progress on Tubey.  I’ve switched to the DPN’s and [...]

1st Sock, I Rock!

Here’s my first sock. I finished it last Sunday. Unfortunately, the tendinitis flared up from doing 3×2 ribbing on size 1 needles, so I haven’t cast on for the second one yet.

I ended up switching to the DPN’s to do the ribbing because it was hard to do it on the two circs. [...]
