ABC Spectrum Along's
Wow, am I glad it is the weekend! Catch up time for laundry, house work, and knitting! Without these I'd have to leave the house naked, eating off paper plates, stressed beyond my limits! Yes, that would be a scary, scary world! Thus, I am making sure I get lots...
Six words and out…
I listen to NPR religiously and yesterday I heard a great story on Six Word Memoirs So I bring you mine. Loving mother. Spinning knitter. Student. Daughter.
Thirsty Thursday?
Well, after the week I have had, I most definitely declare today... Thirsty Thursday! After driving to work most of the week on bad roads, with bad drivers. Studying my brains out. I am so in need of a break! And, a nice cold glass of wine! Thus, Thirsty Thursday is...
Wacky Wednesday it is!
Okay, so the weatherman has discovered Nirvanna here in West Michigan. However, if you have to drive in this stuff, it is not as much fun! We have gotten multiple inches of rain, sleet, and snow today. Multiple inches approaching double digits! Yeah. Hooray. It is...
So now it is Super Tuesday?
Super Sunday followed by a so so Monday and now it is Super Tuesday again? So, I am calling it for tomorrow - Wacky Wednesday! Wacky weather - it was raining tonight - now it is sleeting - soon to be snowing. And it seems we are in for a large volume of snowfall....
Brain Drain
That would be me - drained of my brain... I had my final on the book portion of my class today. I hate trick questions - I mean really. Hate. Them. Anyways - I got an 88% on my final which gives me a cumulative score of 95% thus far. I am not disappointed in that at...
Super Sunday?
Well, it was a busy day here at "The Home For The Unemployed" - lots of work to get done and lots of reading to do for school tomorrow. I did find time to read the Sunday Paper, and there was an excellent commentary by Garrison Keillor that was extremely thought...
In Honor of St. Brigid's Day
I found this most appropriate of poems for the Blogland Silent Poetry Reading Day.... Enjoy... Sheep Thousands of sheep, soft-footed, black-nosed sheep-- one by one going up the hill and over the fence--one by one four-footed pattering up and over--one by one...
Damn, This Traffic Jam….
I really need James Taylor in my car singing to me this morning while I was driving to school on the road with 10,000 idiots. Here is a question for all of you... how come the idiots all get on the road at 7AM? And, why doesn't anyone know how to drive????? So, my...
Blankets…
Well, in a world where every other day we get a blanket of white this knitter is fighting back with some blankets of a different kind! I am working on blankets - the Manos Four Season Throw - in lovely Autumnal colors... This is for the knit along that Country Needle...
B is for Blizzards and Bobbins…
If you seek a pleasant peninsula, you might want to head to Florida this morning. If you can get there from here, that is. All of West Michigan is having some difficulty in travel today. Yesterday we had that nice, if brief, January Thaw - and over night Old Man...
It's a roller coaster world….
The weather has warmed up considerably. The snow is almost all melted. So, the 2 feet or so that we had is but a few crusty inches. And, I have a river running through my back yard which is quite lovely, not! Currently it is 46 degrees outside (that is Farenheit...
Day One is now over or Button, Button who's got the button.
Homework - done. Dinner - done. Laundry - done. Knitting time - you have got to be kidding me! Who'd of ever thunk that I'd find myself at the end of a day and not wanting to pick up a knitting needle and while away the time knitting. That day has arrived, gentle...
Eureka with an award on top!
Hold the phone, gentle readers, I have success!! Yes, after much trial and tribulation and a couple of trips to the frog pond - the answer came to me today as I showered. Here is the test of true knitterly thinking, you cannot stop puzzling over a problem - it swirls...
It could become a Habit….
... a Franklin Habit Yes, that is correct - The Panopticon was at Mecca today doing a photo shoot for his 1000 Knitters Project. And was it busy!! I pulled in the parking lot shortly after noon and it was packed. There had to be 500 knitters vehicles in the lot....
You want me to sign what?
So, I had orientation for school today and when I left there I headed over to pick up my text book. Why? Because I have 5 chapters to read by class time on Monday. Yes - you read that right, 5 chapters! We can say good bye to knitting this weekend... it was nice...
If you like snow….
head to West Michigan! Without sun it is truly a grey and white world... and yes that is about 2 feet of snow on top of the "hibernating" hot tub.... Add some sunshine, it is not much more colorful. My grill is burried under that snow mound. It snowed like mad most...
Positives and Negatives
The knitting continues ... all that is left is to pick up stitches at the bottom and knit the box stitch border and the applied i-cord trim. I thought I had a longer addi - but alas, I do not. So, I will start with the arm hole i-cords and work on getting a longer...
