Surviving (just barely)

This flu has really knocked me out for the longest time I couldn’t pick up my needles nor hooks. I finally did get some knitting and crocheting in; however some of that progress was frogged. *sigh* I cast on the second plain sock and had to frog it completely when over at a [...]

Meh!

I am sick with the worst flu ever!!  I’m almost at the point where I have no energy to knit *sigh*  I’d take a picture of how horrible and sick I look but I can’t even get the energy to take a picture let alone load it.  /end whine
It was a great mail day today [...]

Format – Booking through Thursday

All other things (like price and storage space) being equal, given a choice in a perfect world, would you rather have paperbacks in your library? Or hardcovers? And why?
That’s a hard one really because hardcovers last forever, generally are easier for me to read (due to large font); however they are awkward to hold especially [...]

I found my sock mojo and update on the holey lace disaster now with pictures

So I finally have a picture of the lace disaster that I blogged about a little while back.  I haven’t finished clue 1 yet, I frogged it yet again due to me not properly installing the lifeline.  Note: do not put in a lifeline on really small lace thread projects really late at night especially [...]

” Defeat the Winter Doldrums” for some of us we get the doldrums and others don’t. For the ones who get doldrums what helps you get rid of them? For the ones who don’t get the doldrums, what helps you keep them away?

Lace knitting tortoise disaster

*sigh* I finally finished clue #1 of the Secret of the Stole ii and decided to block it then take pictures before going onto the next clue. I know I’m part of the tortoise team, I believe clue #4 or 5 when out on Friday! So I was excited on finally finishing clue [...]

It’s Thursday, but enough about books!!

Okay, even I can’t read ALL the time, so I’m guessing that you folks might voluntarily shut the covers from time to time as well… What else do you do with your leisure to pass the time? Walk the dog? Knit? Run marathons? Construct grandfather clocks? Collect eggshells?
Lol I don’t even think I really need [...]
