Good morning, I'm taking a couple days break from my modelstitching (eyes can only take so much) and in the mood for knitting baby things (not having any - just for local hospitals) ..came across this interesting item in an old booklet from American Thread Company dated 1947.. All kinds of...

I just wanted to let you know that I will be gone for the next 12 days. I am off to St. John's to mark my last exams. Of course, I will be getting together with Michelle and checking out our yarn shop. g I won't be buying much though, as I really have loads of wool and can't justify buying...

Gail drug me to a Michael Buble concert. I think Gail has several of his DVDs. He is one of the greatest showman I have have ever seen! I completely enjoyed the concert and would go again. He ran out into the audience and shook hands right in the middle of the concert. I have always loved the...

I am having a problem with it heavily shedding. Has anyone worked with this yarn? If I continue with the sweater and wash it well after it is...

Is there anyone that would be willing to destash? I would love to buy some yarn, but we really dont have anywhere here. 200 miles from the nearest mall! Plus this would help out those of you who are really trying to go threw things!!

Wasn't going to say anything, but was convinced by a good online friend that I should... so without further ado, found a lump. Pretty much says it all. I'm entirely confident that it's just a cyst, *again*, sigh. ('little' women, pirates' dreams, are very often "fibrous", that's why I'm not...

We're home from the hospital and doing quite well. I'll be blogging later this week with pictures, etc., but I wanted to pop in to let y'all know. I didn't get to crochet much at first, but I fixed that by the end of the week. :) The nurses were happy to chat yarn and knit/crochet. It helped...

NAYY, just thought this was GREAT! Some can't afford wheels, and some just can't handle a drop-spindle... and I don't mean coordination wise either, some just can't lift their arms to 'drop'... so check THESE out! They'll go on the market June...

We're sorta moved in, still got legal issues, but I'm online again! We lost a cousin, we gained a kitten, and I was fortunate to find a great clearance price on Lion Brand Incredible ($1.00 per ball, I bought them all), so although I haven't been knitting, I did get some great SEX in! I've missed...

Summer is here and we have made use of this glorious day to set up the sun screens, using old boat Jibs. Aaron will be pleased about that I am sure.
