Three Good Reasons to Love Life

This is how I spent my day. Sitting beside these three kitties, knitting.  (Notice my wonderful total tote in the background!!!)
I’ve been wanting to take a look back at 2007, and honestly – it wasn’t my best year. I noticed looking back at blog posts, I was sick A LOT. I [...]

A Good Christmas

I hope everyone had a good Christmas!
Mine was filled with knitty goodness. I received a Total Tote, which I’d been wanting! In chocolate. I added seriously to my knitting book library, with Mosaic Knitting by Barbara Walker, Favorite Socks, and Socks Soar on Two Circular Needles by Cat Bordhi.

I also got a [...]

Warmer house, warmer hearts?

We got a new side door!! Our back staircase was always FREEZING because the door that was up let in all the winter air. It showed an inch of daylight or more at the bottom, and as we found out when we took it down – it was hollow! We got a [...]

Some sock progress

The Almost Moon

I haven’t been knitting.  I started reading “The Almost Moon” by Alice Sebold.  It was slightly morbid, in a fascinating kind of way.  Once I got started, I couldn’t quit.  She also wrote The Lovely Bones, which is excellent – and I highly recommend.
I don’t think everyone would like The Almost Moon.  I think you [...]

Happy December

I haven’t got much of anything to post as far as knitting goes. I’ve been sick this week. (I felt too bad to knit or to watch Pushing Daisies if that tells you anything.)
So, some cute kitty pictures. Molly always looks grumpy – here she looks at least slightly intrigued. That’s the [...]
