branching out

Cast on in February and it is finally done, in July. In my defense I put it down when it was half finished, also in February, and didn’t pick it up again until last week. I do like the pattern it is easy enough without being mind numbing, and the results are pretty.

pms spending

I woke up cranky this morning and it didn’t get any better when I went into the kitchen and found recycling sitting on the counter, I mean, how hard is it to put it in the recycling box?  Then Hubby made himself a cup of tea, did he ask me if I wanted any? No, [...]

I have several projects on the needles that need to be finished and I don’t really want to work [...]

tequila!

No, not that tequila.  The song Tequila that the Univ of Washingtion Huskies Band plays all the time.  Hence, the purple and gold colors of the warshrag.  I made this MDBD for a friend of my mom’s who is a huge Huskies fan.

nifty knitter

There is a new knitter in my house.  Bug wanted me to teach her to knit, again.  Last time she got frustrated and gave up.  This time I bought her a set of knitting looms.   She took to them like a duck to water.  I started by showing her how to set up the first rows [...]
