Will you look at that. I do believe that’s a male indigo bunting. The first I’ve seen at my feeders ever. It’s been quite a year for backyard bird watching between the finches and the grosbeak and the rest of the colorful birds of spring. Of course it’s entirely possible this is a bluebird, which [...]

Halfway. This is the Labyrinth Lace Shawl (Ravelry link) by Evelyn Clark. It’s a garter stitch shawl, knit point to point, with two increases every other row until you reach the widest — the halfway — point in the shawl and then you decrease two stitches every other row. I’m a little more than halfway [...]
Spring gardens with all their shades of green. It’s a little early here to do much planting, the nights are still getting down into the 30′s. But I don’t think I can wait much longer; the itch needs to be scratched. I’ve been out in my little patch cleaning things up. I put a new [...]

Feet! I’ve been fretting over getting behind on the ABC-along and then decided who needs guilt over the letters of the alphabet? Good grief. And as bad as the blue toe nails are above, I decided to spare you the photo of my blistered feet from my training-to-walk-a-marathon-days a few years ago. But only because [...]
Eleven mitered squares added to my socka socka blanket in the last couple of days. It grows slowly partly because it takes some time to pick out new colors while I’m knitting. I try not to repeat a yarn within the same row or two and I try to complete the edges with a mostly [...]
Devan is Done! I don’t have a cute little boy to model my latest finished project so I had to use Baby Bobby Bear. (Bobby does have a left eye, it’s just hiding in the shadows. He’s trying to project an air of mystery.) This was the sweater that’s been on the needles for five [...]
Cats! allllmost there…. closing in for the kill…. What? I wasn’t doing anything…. never mind…. C is also for Contest. If you haven’t entered my little giveaway, there’s still time to win a copy of the new magazine published in the UK, The Knitter. Entries close Sunday, February 22. C is also for [...]
a Box made of Bubinga wood that Jack made for me for Christmas. The top is cherry (pretty sure) and is a shade lighter, which I think is attractive. It’s about 4″ x 4″ x 8″, just the right size to hold small knitting tools. Unfortunately, if I put it on the coffee table in [...]
The Aftermath
Posted in ABC, Uncategorized on Jan 12th, 2009
Yesterday’s tangle of Addis’ has been reduced to this: and the leftovers: These have been put in a zippered plastic bag and stored on the closet shelf along with the other knitting stuff that I thought I couldn’t live without but rarely use. Getting these organized revealed that I definitely don’t need more needles in [...]
…Addi Turbos all a-tangle in a bowl. I decided to play along with the ABC-Along this year and see what I can come up a picture for a letter of the alphabet every two weeks. My two needle bags have about reached capacity and I’ve been threatening for some time to pull all the needles [...]
