I like to think of myself as a storyteller. Mostly I tell stories about knitting.

I finished the green baby hat (Gansey Gayle Hat by Terry Morris) ahead of schedule. This is the fastest I’ve ever finished something (6days)! :) Six days the second time I knitted it, anyway. :)
I wanted to blog about it Friday a week ago, but even though the gift recipient likely doesn’t read my blog, I felt a bit tacky about posting pics ahead of time.

This is the first thing I’ve knitted from the “Calendar of things to knit” that I received as a Christmas gift last year. I was pleased. I’ll have to decide what to knit next from the calendar – Thanks, Lisa! :)

The baby shower was this afternoon and the mom-to-be liked it. :)green hat


Here is a pic from the shower. It was cute and fun!

Comments Off on New Moon Party saga
Category: family and friends

I’m not sure if movies can be a hobby, but if they can, then I think the Twilight saga may be a little bit of a hobby for me.
I had a lot of fun at my Twilight party, so last night I threw (co-hostessed? Lisa helped a lot) a New Moon party where some friends and I had some delicious food and then sat around and made fun of New Moon while we watched it (with subtitles on). :)
We were all running a little bit late, so that worked out perfectly.

Thanks, girls, for some more great memories!

Looking fwd to Eclipse! :)

Comments Off on a New Year’s Resolution bent.
Category: knitting & crocheting

Hill Country Weavers had a yarn sale. I told myself I was not going to buy any new yarn until 7/1 at the earliest (unless I buy it out of state). It was one of my New Year’s Resolutions.
TH gave me cash for my birthday…which was in Dec. and I had not yet spent it.
So.
Theoretically.
If, I’m spending my birthday money on yarn, am I buying the yarn? OR did TH buy me yarn for my birthday and my Resolution can go on?
I’m not sure, but I will try not to buy any more yarn until I’m out of state again or I think 8/1. That should balance out the universe I think. :)
Look at the lovely yarn I got on sale! :)
