Day by Day
Reference Well, first Opal had me as an honorable mention, and then Bonnie and Alice actually gave me the award outright, so I guess I should pass it along. The You Make My Day Award (I am having problems with pics at the moment because of hosting provider issues. Hopefully, that will be fixed in…

Restless
Reference Since finishing the socks for my father, I have been feeling very restless. I can’t really decide what to do next. I have a lot of ideas for new projects, but am not sure whether to start any of them because of other things that are going on outside of my fiber world that…

Lovin’ Every Minute of It
Reference Well, it was a year ago today that I made my first post, after converting my old website over to a blog. To celebrate, just some random things. First, thanks to all of you who comment and all of you who lurk. A special shout out to someone who has commented and linked to…

Reference Back in second grade CCD class, we had a “mock” mass as practice for our First Holy Communion. The sermon was about Jesus being our shepherd and that we were all sheep. (At the time, the image of sheep made us all think of adorable cotton balls with heads; while years later, a different…

Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’
Reference You might think from this post that I have a huge case of startitis, but I have a very logical excuse explanation for all of it. No. Really. I do. First off, I have finally started Mr. Penney’s sweater. More specifically, the sleeve of his sweater. As you can see in the picture, I…

Right Here Waiting
Reference Well, here is the status on the socks: Sorry for the blurry picture. And I don’t even have caffeine to blame it on! Jitterbug first. I am kind of surprised at how this is turning out. The color is pooling something fierce. Also, I am wondering how they dye this yarn. I am…
