Something Just Ain’t Right
Reference Thanks for all of the b-day wishes. This past weekend was great. Busy, but great. Saturday, we had a party at our house to celebrate my 40th with friends and family. This involved lots of prep on the part of Mr. Penney and myself (but mostly Mr. Penney.) We judged the party itself to…

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…

Reference This was an incredibly quick knit. And when in use, it looks like this. This took one skein of Berroco Jasper that I bought from All About Yarn. I used size 4.5 mm needles (starting with dpn, then changing over to 16″ circulars as soon as I was able to.) I came upon…

So Close
Reference I can almost taste it! I finished sewing the seams last night and weaving in the ends tonight, so it got a quick wash and is drying right now. All that has to be done is have the zipper sewn in. Hopefully, that will happen before 2008. I hope everyone had a great Christmas. Mr.…

It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas
Reference First, thank you for all of well wishes for our anniversary. Mr. Penney and I had our quiet celebration of exchanging gifts that we agreed not to get each other and dinner out at our favorite local restaurant. (The gift agreement was made after we had each already gotten the other’s gift.) This is…
