A game and some explanations – pick the lie …….. I have been oddly absent from the blog because: 1. The third and final season of Arrested Development came out on DVD. I am a rabid fan of this show and have spent countless hours memorizing lines I find especially hysterical. I insert them into [...]

Today we are off to take D#1 back to school for her sophomore year. She had a campus job for the summer and spent all of June and July on campus. The job ended early in August and she has been here with us for the past three weeks. It has been so, so nice [...]

Can I tell you? This chair was much harder and more involved than I ever imagined it would be. I really thought we would have this finished in about three hours – including set up and clean up. Boy was I wrong! I spent about six hours making this and I had Boar to help. [...]

I had a fantastic time yesterday. Beautiful places & beautiful people. Plus, sun ripened tomatoes! What could be better than that? I came home full of inspiration and surprisingly, not the fibery kind. Behold, my next project. Luckily Boar is home this week and will be able to walk me through my first one. Did [...]

Here is a picture of my completed Möbius by Cat Bordhi. I am so glad that Rachael linked to this pattern – it is a mind bender! Once you get past the cast on, it goes quickly. I started this on Friday and finished last night. I used Noro Kochoran – it is my first [...]

Yesterday I had an ephiphany. I teach a knitting class and a few of the students are in the midst of their first sock project. Do you remember how confusing all the shaping seemed to be? Little reminder notes would go a long way during the various decreases. It occured to me to get out [...]
Intarsia and the Old Lady

Today is D#1′s birthday! Her 19th birthday. Since this is my blog and it’s all about me, let’s take a moment and focus on the birthday mother. I cannot believe this. I am a cliché. The woman who cannot fathom her childrens’ ages and the mathematical implications for her own chronology. How has this happened? [...]
