KAL: Reflections on The First Five Repeats

 
(Before I get to that, though, have you seen this?  Stacey originally linked to it to show us the Epic Sock Yarn Stash – and I’ll admit I’ve never seen anything like it.  But I loved the Wall of Crocs even more!  I wonder if she’s a size 7…)

Why am I reflecting upon the First [...]

Yes, I Still Cook!

It’s a good thing I’m a runner, because I have a very personal relationship with carbs – and I’m not necessarily talking about the complex carbs we all know we need.  I eat those, too, but nothing says “comfort” to me like a bowl of pasta.
Pictured here is one of several variations on the baked penne I have been [...]

Saturday Sky, With Vacancy

I don’t know who built this, but hopefully they’ll be back to reclaim it soon.  Maybe after we get some leaves on the trees to make things more homey.
Happy Saturday!

FO Friday

Gulp.  It happened, without my really knowing it was happening.   I think this is officially a knitting blog, with some other stuff tossed in.   And I, in spite of my objections and the title of this blog, am… a knitter? 
How do I know these things? 
1.  I have posted about knitting more days than not in [...]

She’s Definitely the Most Sane.

Who is this woman, and what is she doing knitting socks in St*rbucks?
Why, it’s ANGIE, of course, who actually brought knitting to our knitterly meetup last night. (I, being the rulebreaker and all, did not, but I did happen to be wearing Oscar the Grouch, the first thing I knit after I started knitting again.)
We [...]

Forest Canopy Knitalong (aka Cat Herding, With Yarn) (aka Or What You Will)

Lookie here – I’ve got me a button.  The talented yet slightly evil Cookie made this for my very own – isn’t she the bomb??**
Ya’ll know by now that I’m not real big on following rules, so this KAL will be neither rule heavy nor tightly managed.  Here’s the plan:
1.  In spite of apparent confusion [...]

And I Thought This Would Be So Simple.

So you tuned in eager for the results of the Great Lace Debate.  Results you’ll get, with a bit of a twist.
It seems that I ignited quite a controversy, borne of my ignorance.  It rages on, with a life of its own, not only here on the blog but in side e-mails.  Who knew ya’ll had such strong [...]

Uninspired.

As I’m waiting for the polls to close on the Great Lace Debate, I’m finding I don’t have much to say to fill the interim.  I did stumble upon this post as I trolled for fodder – 23 Great Ideas for Blog Posts.  Hmm.  
Some have already been taken – like writing a book review.  Someone we [...]

Hakuna Matata

The voting continues – I’ll announce the winner of the Great Shawl Debate on Tuesday.  The Evil Stacey seems to have garnered all the Superdelegates in this election, even after she changed the rules… she would have made a good mob boss, I think.  Hey, Stace, how about that for your “what should Stacey be when she grows up” contest???  [...]

Time for a Vote.

I’ve tortured you all enough with the Shawl Debate, so it’s time to vote.  First, though, please enjoy a slice of March in Wisconsin…

Yeah.  No pretty flowers and leaves here. 
OK, down to business. 
Thank you all so very much for your wonderful suggestions on the lace debate.  I now have a huge list of things I [...]
