I didn’t take a lot of pictures at Maryland Sheep & Wool, mostly because I was enjoying myself way too much to keep digging in my bag for the camera, and partly because in the vendor barns there was no room to dig for the camera, even if I wanted to. The whole experience was [...]

To see the senorita with flowers in her hair

Posted in blather, family-ish, field trip, glee, tagged , , on October 16, 2008 | 7 Comments »

This past weekend we went to Kentucky to visit the new baby girl (and her parents) for whom I made the blindingly pink baby blanket. We had a blast. We left about 1:00pm on Friday, and made our way through the city and onto I-65 south. This is a deceptive highway, lulling you into complacency [...]

Recap and Review

Posted in blather, family-ish, field trip, listing, the yarn on August 21, 2007 | 1 Comment »

My Stitches Midwest 2007 Experience can be summed up in the following picture-less points (sorry, the Dada camera is still at the repair shop): 1. If you can help it, don’t go to Stitches when you’re ill. It really brings down your energy level and there is nothing at Stitches that feels better than a [...]

I Am With My People

Posted in blather, family-ish, field trip, glee, the blogosphere, the knit on April 5, 2007 | 5 Comments »

My day started all virtuous-like. I went to the chiropractor (where I heard, again, that I’m running sideways, and to stretch ALL THE TIME), went to the gym, then stopped at various stores for those necessities I mentioned. And then apparently I made a vow to devote my writing time equally between normal writing and [...]

The Magic Words

So, this past weekend (that of the 24th to the 25th), Nick and I went to Geneva for a little getaway. I planned the whole thing without telling him where we were going, where we’d be staying… only that we would be going away for a night. Orginally I wanted to stay at a cozy [...]

Warning: Yarn Pr[0]n Ahead

Posted in blather, field trip, the yarn on September 12, 2006 | 4 Comments »

I’m feeling better. I fixed our home internet connection, the car is better (sort of) and we’re looking for a new one, and I’m okay with the cost of our upcoming trip. I’m still weirded out by the ex-boyfriend asshattedness, but I’m going to ignore him. And I have all of the bounty you see [...]

Where the wild yarns are

Posted in blather, field trip, the yarn on August 15, 2006 | 2 Comments »

Okay, so Stitches pretty much kicked my new-knitter ass.But in a good way. I rode in with Sandi, and we got there about 9:40am (we made pretty darn good time, I think. Nice driving, girlfriend). Of course, Heather and her friend Shanelle (visiting from Indianapolis just for Stitches. Wouldn’t you?) got there before we did [...]

A Very Harlot Saturday

Posted in field trip, the yarn on October 6, 2005 | 1 Comment »

Alright, I’m finally able to talk about last Saturday. Not only was it the day that Nick passed the bar (still in total puppy-wiggle mode over that one), but it was also the day of Yarny Goodness. I took my friend, co-worker, and knitting instigator Donna with me to Arcadia Knits in Chicago. From the [...]
