Ladies und Genklemuns… I give you, High Helen! Ok. I’m not actually giving you High Helen. Maybe I should have said, “Presenting…” Oh, well. There’s always a story, right? Sit back, knittin’ kiddies, this one’s a hoot. About two years ago while Rob and I were still living in Lansing, Michigan, we regularly haunted Yarn…

Yes, it’s been almost another whole week since I had last sat down and wrote. Actually there are still about twenty other things (dramatic underestimate) that I need to be doing, but I absolutely can’t let Teresa, C, and Denise’s visit go without comment. We all had a wonderful time, it was really great being…
He’s alive!!
Yes, friends and neighbors, it lives. I’ve marched through the valley of the shadow of… busy, and I’ve come out the other end. Thanks to everyone who’s been wondering where I am, but I’m all right. For those of you who don’t know, I recently left my "day job" to work full time as a…

If anyone ever tells you that working from home is a breeze, just go ahead and punch them in the mouth for me. I am keeping a decent sense of humor about it, but wow, where does the time go? I’ve been going nonstop since about nine this morning, and I’m just getting to a…

Ladies und Gentlemen, lookie-lookie. I may not be a punctual blogger, but I did finish knitting the Asymmetrical Vest. I haven’t attached the buttons, yet, but one does what one can. I’ve also started a Christmas stocking that I just had to play with. I saw the yarn sitting on the shelf, and it whispered…

Holy Smokes, what a week. For those of you keeping up, there was no progress on the vest yesterday, and precious little on anything but… <dramatic pause> dinner. Last night was our Third Thursday Dinner and Knit Night, and boy, are my arms tired. Rob took half-a-day from the office, and when he got in,…

Guten tag. Connor doesn’t quite appear ready for the day, but we’ll trudge on, regardless. By the way, I’m so not German. I’m just a language freak. If I could figure out how to use a Cyrillic alphabet online, I’d offer Russian salutations, but my French is dangerously rusty. Sadly, it’s better than my German,…

Well the Aslan socks are coming along nicely. This working at home thing has given me a little extra knitting time, and I was able to crank out the other foot over the weekend. Now, I’ve got two legs to knit up, but there’s only one issue. The Asymmetrical Vest is a shop model for…

It’s the Minority Sock! Sorry. Couldn’t help it. I see the needles coming off these things and it just… well… Ok. I can’t say it drives me crazy, because driving me crazy would be the ultimate redundancy, but I just don’t care for it aesthetically. I know. I know. Half of you are already thinking,…
