Single
Reference First, thank you all for your thoughts, concern, and prayers for my father. He says he is feeling fine, and he is looking much better (though just getting out of the hospital gown does wonders for that. Why do they pick a color for those things that washes out every skin color? Talk about…

The Heart of the Matter
Reference Well, I had a different title and everything for this post back on Monday morning; but just as I was publishing the last entry, I got a phone call from my mother. Now, my mother never calls me unless something is up. She, in particular, doesn’t call me in the morning just to chat. It…

If Your Heart Isn’t In It
Reference Well, this is now this . I just was not feeling this sock. It might just be the time of year, with wanting colors that remind me of spring rather than winter. In truth, I started this sock because it was there as I had finished Koi Pond socks and had no socks on…

Spinning Around
Reference Well, I am getting back to weaving, but by route of my spinning wheel. No, I am not working on the rug yet. Instead, I am working on an idea that came to me a little while ago. I am hoping working on this idea will help me get my weaving mojo back so…

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…

Makes Me Wonder
Reference I went to my second Meetup last night at the Columbia Borders. There was a good bit of excitement, as the Meetup is now an official event at the store (“just like Harry Potter!”) and tables are reserved for the group. I brought my Koi Pond sock to work on, as well as Mr.…

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…

Everyday I Love You Less and Less
Reference Well, I am still working on Mr. Penney’s sweater. Sigh. The sleeves, the back, and the one front half are done. What remains is the other half of the front and the collar, followed by sewing the whole thing up. All of my knitting time (which is not a lot lately because of the…

Movin’ Right Along
Reference Woohoo! I am still here! Either I don’t have the time to right a post, or I don’t have the light to take pictures for the post. In any case, here is an update. I am at the point on the back of Mr. Penney’s sweater that I am working the diamonds. All of…
