… I have been putting off taking pictures of my new toy to show you all (as well as new bag to put said toy in and new yarn and new books and new knitting) because I guess I thought if I left my digital camera alone long enough it would fix itself – yes… […]

Aspen Saplings
I’ve begun the Aspen Grove shawl for Wooly Wonka Fibers. Last year most of my shawls were top-down triangles, and this year there have been a lot of stoles (although you haven’t really seen any of them, trust me). So for this one I wanted to do something different. Maybe something half-round. First I e-mailed […]
For David
*edited to add Photo* Gwen found a photo from 2006 WWKIP day of David. A member of our SnB, David, passed away on Monday. He was a fabulous knitter, a lover of music, and very fun to be around. He held his own in our loud, opinionated and all (except for him) female group. David […]
The wonders of Heirloom Tomatoes
This weekend I bought some beautiful heirloom tomatoes at the Downtown Farmer’s Market. I just love the colors of heirlooms. And their skins are thin and lovely instead of being bred to be thick and tough. They’re just the perfect taste of summer! One of them combined with other local ingredients (local artisan sourdough bread […]
Socks on Parade!
The baby sock parade continues! You can click the image for notes on the yarn and what projects the leftovers were from. I realized most of them were blues and greens, so I decided to branch out with the Koigu. And what discerning baby wouldn’t love Koigu socks 🙂 I have the laceweight yarn for […]

Not Dead… Yet….
I am plodding along, quite busy, and then WHAM! It hits me that I haven’t blogged for more than a week, and sketchily before that. What happened!? Well, in list form: 1. Work has been busy. I’ve been getting ready for the new academic year and some new duties that I’ve been given, which include […]
OMG JAMS!!!!
As I strolled through the farmer’s market on Saturday, I saw flats of gorgeous raspberries and peaches and nectarines, all calling out to me, reaching for me through their various fragrances, wanting to jump into my bag. But I was a good girl and didn’t buy any of them, because I knew that I had […]
New York City, Part II: Yarn and Knitting
Our yarn crawl wasn’t terribly spectacular, but it was just what I wanted. We went to Habu Textiles (where you stand at this wall full of hanks of simply amazing yarns and then tell them what you want and how much of it and they wind it off for you) and to School Products (which […]
Finishing things up and packing
Holy crap! Deadline knitting right before you leave for a trip where you may not have internet access is NERVE RACKING! I got the lace piece done and it is BEAUTIFUL! Look for its publication in the Fall. Also, I finished a mitt pattern for Anne’s spinning fiber club. This was my first knitting with […]
