I’m not quite sure which was funnier this morning, watching my son dance around the kitchen singing “Eye of the Tiger,” trying to convince Kaity she’s not too sick and can make it to school,
or figuring out I mixed up the lunches and now Lil has a large helping of potato salad (which she [...]

This morning at Bible Study we were settling in to watch our weekly John Piper video, and one of my favorite friends hopped on the couch next to me and joyfully exclaimed “I LOVE Tuesdays!”
The best thing about this is… I was just getting ready to say the same thing to her!
Things I’m thankful for [...]

Ta da! Well, Eiffel is done, and I LOVE it! The fit is perfect, the pattern is very well-written, the yarn was fun to work with – a total winner.
I was so pleased with it, in fact, I was gonna get all dressed up, skirt, heels, the works, and go down to our beautiful City [...]

Every once in awhile you find something that you all of the sudden HAVE to have…. even though five minutes ago, you didn’t even know it existed.Kinda like our third child. We had just had Kaity, now had a boy and a girl, both perfectly planned out, thank you very much, and our family was [...]

My very good friend and walking buddy has three very cute kids. The girls babysit for them from time to time. Last week, Kaity was getting ready to go babysit and she told me, “I’m teaching the kids to knit tonight!” So, she gathered up three sets of needles and three balls of yarn, and [...]

Check out this beautiful yarn Kaity spun up for me! 204 yards of heavy worsted 50/50 merino/silk blend….. GORGEOUS! The silk gives it a little shine and just the tiniest but of sparkle. And it is SOFT!
I’m thinking it might make up a luxurious pair of mittens – but for now it’s just sitting on [...]

There would be no Sleeve Island if they were all like this.
Here’s my Eiffel sleeve – coming along pretty quickly! Even when you finish all the increases, you still have only 63 stitches, so it’s more like knitting a sock, and knits up faster than most sleeves.
Thank goodness. Sleeves….. ;o(
I did get a little [...]

After braving the cold (37 degrees) and threatening rain for my walk this morning, I stopped off at the mailbox on my way home, and am I glad I did! (…not to mention, I checked the mailbox THREE times yesterday in anticipation of these items!)First, I ordered the Fall 2006 issue of Knitscene, so I [...]

I’m kinda loving our cold snap, well -because for Southern California it’s an anomaly!
The high today here in Lynda-Land was 48, and this morning at 7:00 it was 27. You could hear the wind machines running in the orchards running all night, trying to keep the poor citrus and avocados from freezing.
Apparently we’re silly [...]
