Well, I started Geoff’s vest last week and am making pretty good progress so far. I also finished the back of Orangina so now the front and back are complete. I want to block both pieces before putting them together to start the ribbing but before I do that I’ll need to get the stacks [...]

Planning for Autumn

Geoff has been working seven days a week the past few weeks, usually until 11pm or later (he does come home for dinner though, so that’s good!). This will thankfully end in the next week as this big project he’s working on comes to a close. While I have missed having him around in the [...]

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads! And to Geoff – the best doggy dad in the world! It’s been a really great weekend thus far. One of those weekends where there was a lot of fun stuff going on. I kicked off my weekend early Friday morning with a walk to the pub down [...]
Long time, no see!

I’m still here! It’s been a busy month! First of all, I did finish the Botanica Medallion Cardigan for my mom’s birthday and she loved it! But I broke the #1 rule of blogging and FORGOT to take a picture of the finished piece! I couldn’t believe it. I did take a pic of it [...]
Must. Keep. Going.

Just wanted to pop in and say that I am still alive and well and just knitting knitting knitting on my mom’s birthday present. The center medallion is finished… And I am working on the border… I knew going into this that the border was going the be the most labor intensive and that is [...]

Wow, I see it’s been three weeks since I last posted! April came and went in a frenzy! It was a busy three weeks with family visiting, little Frank celebrating his first doggy birthday (my boy is growing up!) and getting a brand new bed and a Tempur-Pedic mattress! Those were all good things (especially [...]
The Big Easy

So yesterday was my fifth wedding anniversary and to celebrate a bit early we took advantage of the long Easter weekend last week and headed to New Orleans! We ate a lot and drank a lot and just had an all-around fabulous time! I hit two yarn shops and couldn’t walk out of either one [...]
As promised…

I have knitting to show! I’ve pulled out my languishing projects to a) finally get some pics of them and b) hold myself accountable to finishing them! First off, out of the depths of my knitting graveyard is Orangina. People, I think I started this thing in 2006. How embarrassing. I’m not sure why it [...]
Christmas and a finished knit!

Apologies for the silence here but the holidays have been (no surprise) hectic. Since Geoff and I both work for the university, we have two weeks off around the holidays. But even with all of that time off work, things never seem to get finished! One of the things that did get finished is the [...]
Sidetracked
Posted in knitting on December 8, 2006 | 4 Comments »
Geoff is always getting sidetracked. In fact, it happens so often that it’s become a running joke in our house. He’ll run outside to take out the recycling or compost and 30 minutes later, when he hasn’t returned, I’ll look out the window and he’ll be weeding the yard, watering the grass, reorganizing the shed… [...]
