Alternatively Titled: stuff I’d like to knit. As soon as I replenish my stash. I haven’t bought yarn since February of ‘09. Feels like a looooong time.
I’m loving the new yarns from Knitpicks. Since the closest yarn shop is 45 minutes away, the internet is my best friend.
I’d like to knit the monkey and all [...]

A new Sweater!

…for my beloved coffeepot.
I used bottlecaps to make the buttons, because I couldn’t find any in my button stash that looked good.
Pattern is adapted from HERE, adapted meaning–I don’t have the patience, time or handstrength anymore to do rows and rows of stockinette. Garter is MUCH easier. And I never follow patterns anyhow… :)
I used Cotton [...]
Beware of False Words, part 1

So, as promised, it starts today it starts MONDAY (today) instead of Friday when I originally wrote this–at least part of it–swim team is taking over my life!
Taking down false teaching begins with the members of God’s Household. If we don’t do it, if we are not equipped to do it, then it won’t get [...]

so very little time.
With Summer swim team in full swing, kids going here there and everywhere, and a husband who likes my attention when he gets home from work, I’ve had no time to write! But I have lots of thoughts.
Including the following topics,which will be addressed by me in the coming weeks. Even if [...]
Not knitting this week….

my hands are too painful. But God is allowing me to forego knitting to read! read read read and watch movies! and go shopping! and be peaceful, and quiet, and rest in Him.
My kids are out of town for a week. A WEEK!
At first, it sounded heavenly (only because we are 24/7 ’round here and [...]

And thank goodness for that….
I’ve developed an issue with my joints. It’s not arthritis. It’s not a whole list of things. No one can tell me anything.
I’m not all that upset about it. Makes moving around difficult, but hey, I”m a knitter/crocheter. I’m happy to sit.
Except that it’s making it difficult to hold small objects. [...]

I’d be HERE with my friend Ann.
That’s what I wish I were doing.
Alas, I’m not. I”ll be cooking/freezing meals, and doing laundry for my gimpy-torn-achilles-tendon-in–a-cast-on-crutches DH, who will be allllll aloooooone next week, as I’ll be at my folks house, taking care of my mom–she’s having eye surgery and needs round-the-clock care for 2 weeks. [...]
Can you have a crush on Yarn?

‘cuz I think I might.
I knitted up a hat for my bro yesterday (used this pattern…), and the whole time I kept thinking (In my head, of course, so as to not lead the family to think I am any crazier than they already do…) “This is the nicest, softest, prettiest, silkiest, yummiest yarn I’ve [...]

at last.
Just wanted to put a bug out there for anyone interested in helping our troops…I took a class last week on making those helmet liners for the troops–the ones the military issues aren’t the greatest, warmest things, and if you knit (OR CROCHET), and have $5 for a ball o’ yarn, you [...]

(Stairs at the hockey rink. I miss that place.)
I am NOT a resolution girl. I used to be. New Years was my very favorite (OOH! New Diet! New Goals! New Shiny Things!) But meh. Lately, not so much. See, I don’t want to break those “promises” to myself anymore, and that’s what always (inevitably) happened…
This [...]
