30 Cents of Joy

Fri, 03/31/06 9:54 A GMT-07

Yesterday during my lunch hour I went to one of my favorite thrift shops in Albuquerque, St. John's Thrift Shop on Central Avenue. I love this shop because it is run by 80 year-olds, and the men in particular are likely to tell me that th

Yeah, I was about to start celebrating too, but then I found this. That tricksy Brit is on the make again, although she has lowered the pattern price to one pound. And she sent me an email copy of the pattern....she has changed the number

My mom called me yesterday because she was concerned that I hadn't posted in a while. Oops. Hi mom! I'm okay, just really busy. Why? 1. I am interviewing candidates for my job this week. 2. I am going to Boston in two weeks to lo

I found the sock! It was hiding under my weight-lifting chart. Silly me. I should finish it this weekend, and of course, start the other one immediately. No second sock syndrome for me. This is Lorna's Laces in Desert Fl

Dang-nabbit!

Today is going to be a challenge. Somehow I managed to lose my latest sock project between 8:30 pm last night and 7:30 am this morning. I can't find it anywhere. Is it under a chair? Under the load of whites I have yet to fold? Did

This weekend was not wasted! I finally finished the pinwheel blanket. The border is 2 3/4 inches of garter stitch. I do still have about 700 yards of sport weight cotton left over, but that is manageable. Pattern: Pinwheel Baby Bla

Join-along

I have been feeling join-y recently. I participated in the VERY FIRST Secret Pals two years ago, but since then I have kept my KAL profile rather low. But here is a KAL I feel confident in: The Sock Yarn Addict's Club. Since I

Last night I worked on the pinwheel baby blanket, and I am afraid that I am not going to be able to make it to 3 inches of garter boarder. Not for lack of yarn, but purely from an emotional standpoint. And because another 1/8 inch of garter st

A heads up to all you knit bloggers who offer free patterns on your site: It has been brought to my attention that an ebay shop has been set up out of England that is selling one of my FREE PATTERNS. It looks like she has sold my pattern at lea

Attack of the Snotgoblins

Fri, 03/03/06 9:09 A GMT-07

I have spent the last two days sick in bed with a head cold and sore throat, perfectly content to read, sleep, and watch old William Powell movies. The cats loved having the company, and I was amused by their territorial disputes over who could
