I am back to scraping wallpaper. It has two layers of wallpaper, then you get to a layer of blue paint, which has an additional two layers of wallpaper underneath it.
I have a technique down that seems to work. Basically, I spray it down with this DIF wallpaper stripper gel. I strip off the [...]

Time to get started…

Well, spring is officially here. (Even if it is still freezing.) It’s time to get back to work on our house. So, unfortunately less knitting time, but it must be done….
We hired a man to work on the roof of our porch on Saturday. If he does a good job, we will definitely get him [...]

FO: Rosebud Hat

One More Day

Can I make it? I miraculously have a vacation day on Friday (for a knitting event, even better) and thank god I do. It has been the week from hell. I’m not even sure I can make it one more day.
One good thing in this week from hell: New Knitty!

I have always thought our house looks pretty with snow on it.
Looks like it’s going to be a good day to curl up with some knitting.
Tangled Yoke – The End
Posted in knitting, tangled yoke cardigan on March 5, 2008 | 10 Comments »
Well, sort of the end. I don’t have buttons, yet, and won’t be able to get them in the town I live in. So, it’ll be at least a week. And I can’t keep my enthusiasm in. (I may even wear it tomorrow without the buttons because I’m so excited.)
My second [...]
