Secret Pal
I sent an e-card to my SP the other day and have been pondering what goodies to send her way first. I suppose I should chat her up a bit and get to know her more, but I want to send the first box without any guidance and then see how wel

Oh, the Pressure!

I was told today that I need to finish my Klaralund posthaste. I was working on it at the hair salon today when two stylists came over to chat and admire the colorway. One said she couldn't wait to see the finished product, and hoped I would wear i

Well, not literally. I am just soooo busy with work stuff that I haven't had a chance to blog. Can you imagine?? The statistics I was working on Monday just wiped me out mentally. I am not a person who possesses great facility with math. Th

1. Are you a yarn snob (do you prefer high-end/natural fibers)? Do you avoid Red Heart and Lion Brand? Or is it all the same to you?
Yes, I would say I am most definitely a yarn snob!
2. Do you spin? Crochet?
Neither
3. Do you have any allergi

I probably have the nerve to complain that I am busy with actual paying work, but I am going to do it anyway. I walk into work yesterday and get FOUR new job assignments. Now my to-do list looks like:

So we got about 6" of snow on Saturday, after all the Weather Channel hoopla. Not a big deal. Today was sunny and most of the snow should melt during the week.My knitting goal was to get another 12" done on Tamiko's shawl - accomplished

I got Gina's scarf done last night and gave it to her today. She loved it, and said it will go perfectly with her ski jacket. The photo was taken with the crappy digital camera at work so the colors are a bit off. The blue is more of a periwinkle.

Ok, so Linc's vet called last night and said he really needed to get an x-ray and blood work done on him before he can make any diagnosis. As I thought. So I played hooky from work today and Neal and I took Linc to Hunt Valley. He meowed and cried
Not Feeling So Frivolous Today
Wednesday, 19 January 2005 11:38 A GMT-05
Despite his much-needed bowel-moving and higher level of activity over the weekend, Linc seemed worse than ever yesterday. He was extremely cranky and lethargic and didn't even want to eat much--this from a normally ravenous kitty. The doctor didn'

I finished the first sleeve of Klaralund today and cast on for the second. I'll post a pic of the finished sleeve tomorrow, mayhaps.In the meantime....Don't Do This at Home.
Yes, we gave Linc an enema yesterday. Poor thing was really blocked. W

This has been a long week. I am extremely glad it's Friday, rainy though it may be.
I am still plugging away at Klaralund - here's more of the same sleeve. I LOVE the way the Shinano is changing hues, and the bits of bright purple are so exactly
Busy Again!

Arrgh! :)I cranked out one garter stitch scarf last night, using some Lion Brand Fun Fur and another brown novelty yarn I bought on eBay last year and started a second in Idena Happy and some of the leftover leopard-ish yarn from Andree's scarf. I
Feeling Overwhelmed
Monday, 10 January 2005 1:46 P GMT-05
I didn't expect my knitting to become a business, but I am getting commissions right and left. In addition to the shawl I have already started and the Fee hat and perhaps mittens, I got requests for four more scarves today. Three are eyelash jobbie

Saturday, 8 January 2005 2:59 P GMT-05
So I put Clapotis away for a while and cast on for Klaralund last night. Here's the start of sleeve #1. I only have 4 balls of Noro Shinano #14, and I figured it would be too scratchy for the whole sweater anyway, so I am just doing the sleeves in
On Hold?
Friday, 7 January 2005 11:59 P GMT-05
Here's Clapotis so far: I have a decent slab of it done, 5 repeats in section 3, so 5 rows of dropped stitches. And I am really freaking out over the rapidly-dwindling ball of yarn at my side. I suspect I have about 250 yards left, with more than h

I hate the kind of multiple choice quizzes that offer me 12 choices, none of which are accurate for me. So I just pick the closest one. Kinda accurate though.

yuk.It's hard to go back to work after 11 days off. I didn't sleep well last night, so am a bit logy today, especially when looking at spreadsheets full of numbers. I was getting too used to knitting all the time and am really jonesin' to work on
Happy New Year!!!

What an amazingly gorgeous day to start the new year with! At this very moment, 5:15 P.M., it's 63 degrees here in Baltimore! Neal and I just came back from a walk through the neighborhood, and if it weren't for the bare tree branches and Christmas
