I'm updating the back end of my blog, which was an awful mess because I just can't leave well enough alone.  Things should be back to normal soon.  And I might even manage to post something, for a change! … [Read more...]

It seems that I begin just about every post saying that it's a catch-up post. Sadly, this one is no exception. [Summer of Socks 2007] began on June 21. I had great plans of churning pair after pair of socks out. As is usually the case, I overestimated the amount of time that I would have available for knitting. I've been doing some really interesting work recently. A wide variety of … [Read more...]

It would seem that I'm much better about dealing with backend issues related to my blog, and others that I work on, than I am with actually posting so here is another catch up post. I got some more yarn love from a friend. It's so much fun to get packages! First, Great Adirondack Soxie in the Beach House colorway Soxie Beach House Next, Socks that Rock Silkie Socks in the Mystic Kelp … [Read more...]

Life has been a bit crazy lately and my blog has suffered. I've wanted to sit down and write something for awhile but things keep popping up. So now, while I have a quiet moment, I'm posting some stuff that's been sitting on my camera for awhile. First is my [Touch of Whimsy Scarf] I used one skein of Malabrigo. It was a wonderful knitting experience. I was sad when I realized I was at the … [Read more...]

Greeetings from Daisy's ghostwriter. I'm Pete, her husband and Daisy has worked her wiles on me...I just started knitting! I wrecked my knee three weeks ago and, as a get well gift, Daisy gave me a bag with 5mm plastic needles and a skeine of new denim Patton's classic wool. She's been very patient and I've managed to get 9 rows of knit done so far. Its also been a nice way to spend time with my … [Read more...]

I've hardly done a bit of knitting for a couple of weeks.  You can see some of what I've been doing over at [Wendy Knits]  Its been such a fun time to fiddle with a blog other than my own.  Her needs and preferences are a bit different than mine.  I've gotten to go on hunts for just the right tools to suit the way she blogs. I've found a few for myself along the way too!  There's … [Read more...]

Now that I've got the [Wendy Knits] site up and running I think I'm going to take some time to freshen things up here on my own blog.  Not sure what I'm going to end up with or how it will look, yet but expect some changes in the near future!  Eventually I might get back to knitting....  I found that I made a shortlist that included [Wendy Knits] and [Yarn Harlot] at Warm With … [Read more...]

Well I've decided that, for this weekend at least, I will be putting my needles away and finding my inner geek.  Actually, my inner geek is pretty close to the surface. I have the honor and privilege of moving the [Wendy Knits] site to a new blog software.  So that will be taking most of my spare time for the next couple of days.  It has been at least as entertaining for me as my … [Read more...]

Ok so I  know that I'm not the only one anxiously awaiting an invitation into Ravelry.  FreckleGirl  just posted on her blog that there are over 4500 people on the list.  I think the response to the site is way more than they ever expected so quickly.  My point?  We all just need to take a deep breath and get back to the knitting that we are neglecting while refreshing the … [Read more...]
